Sometimes I See A Picture,

and think, 'that is neat',

knowing of course that it has been Photoshopped, like this one from Swedish photographer Erik Johansson, he had an idea that he wanted to show a lake of ice that had been shattered, but was not frozen, so he bought 17 square meters of mirrors, found a boat and a model, and posed all three in a stone pit until he got the best shot for the final image, couple of hours doing the shoot, a couple more with Photoshop and it is in the bag, how wrong could I be?

it took several months of planning, shooting, and editing, so long in fact he videoed the process, Johansson shot the shoot on a Hasselblad H5D-40, edited on a Eizo CG318-4k monitor with Adobe Photoshop, and filmed the entire process with a 4k GoPro, you can see more of Johansson’s behind-the-scenes videos and finished images on his Instagram and Youtube channel, I will never look at pictures like this and think, 'just a few hours and it is in the can', ever again!
