"I think we need a bigger boat"

6th picture was photo-shopped (exact same image as in picture #1, except they "added" it to a picture taken from an oil rig).
Otherwise, great shots, and they certainly hi-light the unforgiving nature of the sea.

They remind me of the "bad old days".

I reckon the first one is chopped too.

I must have made a mistake all right by not properly addressing my post. Anyways, I hope this clears up the misunderstanding!

Thank you!

Dude awsome. Actually, does anyone know of any good video of really big seas? It's kind of a sick obsession - looking at big seas.

Yeah post away. The series droque site has some deadly pics. I would like to see more. Untitled Document

No.4 and No.6 are not real. I am not sure about that B&W of the ship at the top of that tall wave. It surely can't be real.

Island Mike · 11-05-2007, 03:25

Could the second picture possibly be real? If so that is one awesome photo, I wonder who snapped the shot and if the vessel survived?

dennisail · 11-05-2007, 03:31

Some photos are obviously fake (no6). I would love to hear the stories behind the ones that are real. Why do you think 4 is fake?
