LorenzoIt was shot in Turkey I think, big boars there but even bigger if you take the picture sitting ten metres aways from them

Bobby TomekIt's a big hog, no doubt, but not as big as the pictures would lead on to believe.
Wide angle distortion, including strategic placement of the subejcts, is a HUGE factor in these photos.

dustofferBobby's right--I don't think we'll ever see a hog with a head longer than the shoulder span of 3 men, unless the men are Smurfs.

WhitworthYeah that picture has made the rounds and I think it is from Turkey. May not be as big as claimed, but it's a big, old, stinky boar nonetheless!

Jeff SullivanThe picture is probably legitimate, but it looks photoshopped to me.

Bobby TomekThe bottom photo of the hog from Turkey -- the one showing its backside -- has been altered. Look at the first photos and not the thickness of the coarse hair.
The bottom photo shows an animal that's been rubbed, and the "bald" area extends over onto the other side -- something you DO NOT see in the first photos.

Bobby TomekI took a closer look, and that third photo was definitely altered -- and not very well, I might add. The work was clearly amateurish, at best.

WhitworthAnd yet, it's still a big, old boar........
That thing could stand on its own merit without photographic trickery. It puzzles me why folks do it........

Bobby TomekYou are absolutely right: that thing was HUGE as-is.
As someone who is in the business, I despise some of the technology we have today. In some ways, it's terrific, especially for hunters in the field, but in other ways, well...
I am old-school, I guess. FOr my clients, I still shoot on film, and I don't go in and manipulate every image like some of the newer-generation photographers do. As such, photography is no longer an art. You just shoot a ton of images, and if they stink, you just "fix" them in photoshop.
To me, a photograph represents a moment in time. What some of these folks are producing amounts to nothing but manipulated digital images, and to me, they have no historical significance.
But enough of that. I am off the soap box for now...

I agree. I like one good photo straight from the camera better then a million perfect photoshopped ones.
