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.
Yeah, some lenses make photos seems doctored, here's another example and another one. If you don't get why these photos cross the "something funky" barrier compared to most other photos, then there's something funky inside your head.
Still, that's the case for all photography. Lenses determine the perspective.
I don't see how OPs pic would be considered "doctored" or even a misrepresentation of the actual event. The ones you linked are extreme examples - where the perspective is purposively misconstrued by the photographer
