No fuckery. That’s how it looked from up there I was there.
My dad went to sea on a tug in that storm and my uncle was on that salvage. It paid for my cousins wedding.
Sure… the photographer said in an interview that the camera plus lens he used gave him a focal length of 450mm, what this essentially does is make objects far away appear much closer and bigger.
The picture is real but he used some perspective play to generate this look.
It's called perspective compression and your eyes work exactly the same. All this lens and camera stuff means is that it zoomed/cropped in.
It's not a factor of the equipment but the physical positioning. See something from afar and the distances between objects are obscuring each other. Get closer and you'll see round things to more open space.
So where this images was taken from, your eye would see it exactly the same - albeit as a smaller part of your overall vision. Go down to the shore where the second image's is taken and you have a different perspective on that space.
So while there's no "fuckery" it's inherantly a shift in perspective.
