Just curious, how can you tell its photoshopped?

Apart from i'd have thought it highly unlikely for a sniper to take a picture like this.

Looks like an Army mil-dot. Not sure about the sides though. Way too clear not to be photo shopped, IMO.

I've seen that picture before, without the faces black out. Much better.

[hood]

Although I can't show it here, another sniper's view through a scope photo was submitted a while back that was genuine, and it had a far greater haze around the edges than this one, which hardly has any. The reticle looks too unaffected by the curvature of the lense here. That said, there's pics like Ichbabe sent in (close to the beginning of this site's existence) that's sharp as a tack.

I would say photoshopped as well. It's really easy, actually. They just used the picture of militiaman as the bottom layer, than stuck the crosshairs image over it.

The hardest part would be finding the crosshairs pre-cleaned, or doing the dirty work of cropping the crosshairs. Even that way, I'd say it was a 20 minute max photoshop job.

I believe that picture was posted awhile back by a Marine sniper who'd taken it during (or after, I forget) the war, or at least so he claimed. Pretty sure it's real.

Welcome to life.

[angry cow]

Wow, this has gotten really deep, about as deep as a 12 year old. Anywho, I took some pics through my scope to see if it would work with a POS disposable camera, and it didn't. Another guy in my ROTC battalion however was able to get this awesome lens extension widget-thing that fit into the scope so that the mil-dots were up close like in that pic. So it is certainly possible to get a picture up-close like that if someone had thought ahead to get the adapter or had a camera that could zoom nicely. Alright have a good one folks.

PS: Ichhabe's pics are real you mofos, get over it. You may know photoshop, but he went to the sandbox and ate dirt. So enjoy the pictures and go back to jacking off.

PSS: I figured it out, these are pictures of airsofters in Najaf taking a break from getting their asses kicked all over the damn place.

PSSS: Just realized that they are Mil dots, just not from the US standard scope, possibly from a PMC. Who are much more likely to have stopped and taken a picture dont you think?

[Helly]

Them "mofos" weren't talking about Ichhabe's pictures, you a-hole. Get a clue.

[scrybe]

Wow this got out of hand. A few of us were analysing whether or not the pics could be created in photoshop. Were they? I dunno. Could they have been? Probably. Then there was a misunderstanding with some totally unrelated pics. None of this was necesarry. Let's try to keep it on topic.

[graphicsguy at PH]

Whos the idiot pointing his weapon at his own troops.....

Anyways hate to burst your bubbles gentlemen BUT there is such an animal as a LE Adapter. This little gizzmo will let you connect a point and shoot to most any type of Spotting, rifle scope or telescope ect, and the picture quality is superb. No vignette.

I believe those are jpeg compression artifacts. Why would people still save with such high compression in the broadband age? The lossiness and bluriness really make it dificult on telling whether the image is real or not :(

Yes, now I see it. The black level goes down there. IMHO it's either faked, or reflected from some glass (window or scope).

It's very hard to get a scope to be totally clear even with the naked eye,a slight off centre causes a haze,it's called "sight alignment and eye relief".

The fact that this picture is so clear,almost perfect,even the persective is razor sharp is what made me say it had been photo shopped,with the right tools it's easy to do.

I have a good camera(Nikon 4300 4mb pixels) and I've been trying all day with my .222 to try and produce a picture that is as clear and as sharp as this one......I'm failing misereably!

[moughoun]

http://img59.exs.cx/img59/2313/Unlucky.jpg

Well our spotter scope's don't use mil-dot, but maybe the US do and no binos use it afaik, because of the diffused image problem

[Argyll]

Is it me,but if you look really close to the top part of the reticule,where it forms the T,there "appears" to be a lighter portion around it,and also what appears to be a vertical line/pattern from the right extremity upwards?

[Raistlin]

Agree totally

[innocent_bystander]

Premier Reticles offers Leupold spotting scopes with mil-dot reticles.

The picture could be legit but the reticle would have to be of the etched glass rather than wire type.

I have an older Mark 4 M3 that has an etched rather than wire retcle. All the new Leupolds use wire.

[ibstolidude]

Here is some info on the etched vs. wire reticles. Seems that no one knows for sure why Leupold changed.

My Mark 4 M3 does have round (Army) mil-dots and is etched. My 3.5-10 has football (Marine) mildots and is wire. The outer part of the reticle is also thicker on the Marine reticle.

I remember seeing an adversisement for a camera system that mounts onto the scope of a rifle. When the shooter pulls the trigger the camera takes a picture of what the shooter sees before he finishes the trigger pull.
