[@lggen6062]

This time drone is not yet commercialize.

[@ProEthan]

If you can't spell why the hell are you assuming this is photoshopped? You wouldn't know the difference between a desert and dessert.

[@freesoul9000]

for your information this is a place called waw elnamos but you are right there is other oasis called Gaber oun.

[@benygboo]

0:53 looks so strange

[@00corin00]

[@chakazul]

[@FaisalRehman00]

[@irvinekamal]

9years later we have drones

[@chakazul]

what's that thing in 0:54? a stonehenge?

[@holyboddy]

dude you are wachting a video from National Geographic do you realy believe they would use fake pictures?

[@QuantumCarl]

While his shots are more detailed, I wouldn't call them breath taking. I still have breath after seeing them. And the satellite taking shots of the Earth is not to be scoffed at, either. :P Some images can get high-res enough that you can actually see a dudes face walkin' down the streets. Not on G-Earth, obviously, since that would be illegal. :P

[@QuantumCarl]

When they say never before seen, do they mean like... the specific pictures he took were never before seen? Cause otherwise I think Google Earth has won this battle.

[@thyran]

That's the result of image manipulation. I forgot what the technique is called, though. Anyone care to enlighten us?

[@theSpicyHam]

wheee

[@binty47]

first! nat geo ftw!

[@freesoul9000]

oh you kidding me , oh oh

[@QuantumCarl]

First off, I meant like... the area. If it's the pictures then yes, he can claim that it's pictures that've never before been seen, but the area has been mapped from orbit. :/ And photography isn't THAT hard. People just want it to be that hard cause it shows how "deep" and "artistic" they are. e_e And then you get every teenage girl with a camera thinking she's so deep and whatnot cause she can take pics in black and white or things like half of their shoe or some shit... Bleh.

[@Palkia02365]

No all of it. The second one is. Either that or its an optical illusion.

[@rafaelamezcua]

Yeah seriously. That's the only thing we know how to do.

[@piperpilot26]

well, here's an idea, go out and spend 5,000 dollars on a camera, learn how to use it, and see if you get the same results. you'd be amazed as to what images a real camera could capture. If he were using a 100 dollar kodak camera, then I'd say they're photoshopped.

[@QuantumCarl]

Camera quality and cost. Nobody wants to put out lots of money for a camera. I'm not saying there isn't something to it, I'm just saying it's way over hyped. The problem with art is not so much the product as much as the viewers. They tend to demand that it be a thing that only smart people can understand so they make up these huge elaborate thing about how the picture is so this or so that. It's just always this... thing. I dunno.

[@coolboy1210]

Wow I'll love to fly around and taking pictures and getting paid for a shit load.

[@bapu78]

and got killed

[@0181spikri]

@tarek2010able XD no you don't
