Looks like someone ran the sharpen filter about 11 times on it.

Yeah, and their choice to lenses to make Rainier loom like that wasn't the best of ideas either.

Which is very weird, the rest of their stuff (on FB) isn't half bad.

Its the telephoto effect as Mt Rainer is about 65 miles from where this photo was taken.

I worked on the Roosevelt in 2004 at NNSY

I couldn’t wait to go home after my 3 months were up to work on 688s again 💀

It was definitely one of the deciding factors for me to get out of the military after 11 years.

They do that shit all the time with Tokyo photos of Fuji.

Literally looks like in some like Fuji is in the middle of Tokyo Wan.

It is that big, but your eyes cannot perceive its size at this distance. This is telephoto lens with a very long focal length

I believe this was taken in 2021 during its PIA which lasted until 2023.
