Oh yeah, look to the right on my tabs and see the imgur photo of your friend's portal from this morning. [link to imgur.com] There's this double arch thing going on in both of them. Do you know what time your friend took these pictures? Put the two pictures side by side in your tabs, you'll see what I'm talking about. I know this whole thing has a lot of people shouting fake. But what if these two things really DID happen at the same time. How cool would that be! What are the chances that we really DID find a portal. WOW, Amazing contribution! That does resemble it quite notably. I see 2 things here, #1 The photo I submitted was taken mid-2012 so no direct connection. That's not to say such a thing, were it possible, would only occur once. #2 The striking similarity leads me to wonder if the M-9 Flare we saw (animated version here: [link to spaceweather.com] ) did not cause an ultraviolet NAA version of lens flare? Awesome find all the same, thanks again! Well op, I for one, would LOVEP to see the high res pics you have. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 50985453 I'll add them shortly. EDIT: Delivered [link to imgur.com] Speaking in my official capacity as both a genuine expert and a professional genius you can all trust me when I reveal that the photo is truly a shot of a portal. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44110959 Yeppers, and a portal to the sun no less. LOL, I do believe this has taken on a new angle. The photographer was doing a daytime shoot. To my knowledge, the "portal" was not visible to the naked eye. Which makes me think of the Ultraviolet Sun Flare. We don't see much into the ultraviolet range. |

I remember once a long time ago where we had some pictures developed only to have some odd things appear in them. A couple having odd lights and a skeletal-misty shape in one. Those were just pictures developed from one of those one use camera and weren't changed. If this is indeed a real portal then it would be kinda neat to see if there'd be a way to get another picture of it or to explore the surroundings of that area for anything out of the ordinary. |

Quoting: Shenzon must've really gone through that portal though, since it was edited before it was even taken The fact that it passed through photoshop is enough to call bullshit. He needs to provide the original RAW. No jpg. RAW files are easy to inspect for fuckery. I just edited that last part. Got a new pic with no portal that shows the same editing process.

I'm still trying to get the other 3 "portal" photos from that day as well. No promises, but I'll try. Then at least we can confine the topic to whether or not it's lens flare. Lens flares show up as more curved and circular in fashion. This is not a lens flare. The angle of it is all wrong in comparison to the light source. |

I have seen this before, looks odd but yeah there is a problem with the frame of your camera |

The photographer would have no motivation to do that and has even stated he did not use photoshop. If someone would like to try and duplicate this effect, I'd love to see it. [link to i.imgur.com] i did not copy his flare with the cloning tool, i made a fresh one. I did this by copying a small circle of the pic and putting it on its own layer, and using that bit to put a lens flare in from photoshop's render filter. the flare is round, so i stretched it to match his, and added a soft pink outer glow to it. nearly identical i think, and it took me about to minutes. Not saying his is fake, but it can be duplicated very easily in photoshop. :malefav: I love this place!! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52277420 and no EXIF data of the pics this is fake with long exposure time The forest itself is very well lit, which would suggest a long exposure time. But the portal itself is also self luminescence, yet not over saturated. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 45090250 To me, this says over processed. The lighting is too perfect.
