50 Times People Were Glad They Took A Pic Because The Story Would Have Been Unbelievable (New Pics)
Interview With ExpertHave you ever heard a tale so tall that you refused to believe it unless you saw it with your own eyes? Or maybe you witnessed something crazy and just knew that nobody would take you seriously if you didn’t have proof. Thankfully, it’s easier nowadays to provide “receipts” of events. We can whip out our phones and quickly snap a photo or video as evidence that we aren’t spinning stories.
People have been sharing photos of things they’ve seen in the wild. Always prepared to be told, “Pics Or It Never Happened.” Bored Panda had a blast putting together a list of amazing, bizarre and sometimes hilarious photographs captured by those who felt they might have to validate their words. Each photo tells its own unique story, and quite frankly, we’d find it hard to believe that many of these moments could ever happen twice. Sit back and keep scrolling. Don’t forget to upvote the ones that made you look twice. Don’t miss the super interesting chat we had with expert mobile phone photographer Alessio La Ruffa. He shared some awesome tips and tricks on how to best capture pics that you might need to use as receipts.

Saw This Guy Walking His Doggo And Bunny At The Store. He Said It Was His Dog’s Bunny, That His Dog Fell In Love It At A Flea Market And He Had To Buy It For Him
That sounds plausible. If my dog wanted to adopt another animal I too would do whatever it took to make it happen.
Rabbits are similar to capybaras because they get along with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and birds. At least that's what I witnessed in my house.
Well, the dog will snack on the rabbit poop. So you don't have to worry about cleaning up after the rabbit and you save on feeding the dog.
My sister had alpacas. The dogs really liked their poop. Come winter, they enjoyed poopsicles.

Happened to my mom and step-dad while camping once. They heard something moving around and my mom, who's deathly terrified of bears, apparently freaked out. When they slowly unzipped the tent they saw like 30 racoons rummaging around their campsite. Luckily all the food was well secured.
I took my friend camping and he made a wonderful dinner, we did a walk in site, dinner was so fantastic, but he didn't want to stow stuff back in the car. I said you know, animals come out at night. .............Then he decided he'd sleep outside on a cot, take in the night sky. An hour later he came scurrying in because the racoons came and tore apart the rest of the stuff on the picnic table.

Alessio La Ruffa shot to Insta-fame, armed with just his iPhone. His social media photography accounts have close to 30,000 followers. He previously told Bored Panda that his journey to becoming a professional photographer began on the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa, where he’d meet up with like-minded creatives. They’d walk around taking photos of anything and everything. The group soon became well-known, and many, including La Ruffa, have racked up some big-name clients. You can check out some of his architecture photography here.
While La Ruffa now uses his professional camera kit for most of his architecture and street photography work, he’s still considered somewhat of a genius iPhoneographer (someone who takes epic pics with their iPhone). We reached out to him for some advice on filming or taking photographs with a mobile phone. And he was more than happy to answer our questions.

Choose any section, My Love, and it will be our home to raise our family.
We began by asking La Ruffa what to keep in mind when taking a quick snapshot of something. "Firstly, don't shoot directly into sunlight or any light source," he told us, adding that you should try to ensure your subject is lit from the side. "This creates more shadows and makes the photo a bit more interesting," explained the photographer.
La Ruffa then went into a bit more technical detail. Photography, by definition, is all about light, and it can be tricky to get your image just right. "If there is a section or part of your photo that is slightly overexposed, you can reduce the exposure by tapping on the overexposed area and dragging the exposure slider down," he explained, saying that this works for iPhones.
If you have a different phone, do some research on how to adjust exposure. "Many phones allow you to adjust exposure by dragging your finger up or down after focusing," he says.

Load More Replies...Enlarge the picture and it looks like the racoon is smiling. Not sorry at all!
Framing and composition are also super important. After all, if you cut out a crucial piece of info in your pic, people might not believe it was there to begin with... "Have your grid turned on in your camera settings," advises La Ruffa. "Then, instead of having your subject in the middle of the frame, have your subject aligned to one of the grid lines or where the grid lines intersect. This is known as the rule of thirds."
He also suggests taking photos with your camera held upright to ensure the lines are straight rather than leaning back. "Don't use the digital zoom!" cautioned the expert. "Take a few steps forward to get closer."
To really take your photography to the next level, you should think outside of the box. "Use different angles," advises La Ruffa. "We are very used to seeing things from normal eye level or eye height, so try to shoot from different angles. Shoot lower or higher for something interesting." He also told us that mastering how to use light and shadows will make your photos much more interesting.
"Learn how to edit your photos," adds the expert. "Snapseed is a great free app on iOS and Android."

Nowadays, it's easy to fake photos... You can use programs like Photoshop to manipulate a picture or even create a whole image with artificial intelligence.
La Ruffa tells us that one of the quickest ways to tell if an image is AI-generated is by looking at the hands and fingers. They often look a little strange, he says. "They usually have the wrong number of fingers. Also, facial features may seem a bit off," he added. "If there's text in the image, AI-generated text often appears nonsensical and looks like symbols rather than actual letters."
The expert acknowledges that AI is "creeping into our lives in all sorts of ways!" He says another sign that an image has been manipulated is that the lighting and shadows appear inconsistent compared to the rest of the picture. "The textures often look a bit weird, almost plastic," La Ruffa elaborated.

Load More Replies...But real photographs don't lie. You can get quite a bit of info from photo metadata, says La Ruffa.
"By quickly taking a look at one of my phone photos, I can see what camera I used, what lens, how many megapixels, the image size (in pixels and megabytes), the camera settings (ISO, focal length, exposure compensation, aperture and shutter speed), and the location where it was shot," he told us, adding that if you look at an image on a computer, you can also see if the image was edited and what software was used to edit it.

We were curious to know a bit more about manipulating photos. Like how easy is it to place myself in front of the Eiffel Tower? Or to add someone else to my selfie? La Ruffa says he works in Photoshop quite a bit on a daily basis, so he's able to quickly and easily manipulate a photo in post-production if he needs to. And he says that this skill is useful when it comes to removing items.
"Photoshop has a new generative AI tool that can help you remove or add elements to images," he tells us. "It's not 100% realistic, but I'm sure there are other tools that can provide a more realistic outcome."

A Chainsaw Carving Competition In Vancouver

Load More Replies...Sometimes, when we are taking a quick snap as evidence of something, the action happens fast. Blink and you miss it. We asked La Ruffa how best to capture the drama. "If it's something spontaneous, then I would say try to move your camera to follow the action," he advised.
"For example, if you're shooting a car while following it, the car will be in focus, and the background will be blurred, which helps convey motion. If it's interesting, go for the shot. The motion blur adds movement to the photo!"

He added that if you are prepared in advance and know you will be taking photos of something moving, you should consider getting what's known as a third-party camera app. "This type of app typically allows for manual control of your camera, enabling you to choose to slow down your shutter speed significantly or speed it up so you can achieve sharp images," he explained.

I've Been Looking For This Forever. Finally Found It At My Parents House. Here's My Twin Brother Eating Pizza With Some Famous Twins In 1991

A couple years ago I had a layover in chicago while flying from philly to phoenix.

This ended up being everyone but me and the flight crew. they told me i could come sit up in first class, and the pilot made all his announcement directly to me like "we are arriving in phoenix protell, and the temperature is 90 and sunny". it was pretty cool.
My flight attendants name was Bella, and she told me "just let me know whenever you need anything". she sat in the seat across from me and we talked much of the flight. Since i was sitting in first class she said i was allowed all the perks of first class which included free alcoholic drinks and meals etc. it was kind of awkward when i did want a drink, i was sitting talking to this nice girl then, "hey bella, could you get me another piña colada?"

One day the owner of the ranch pulls up in his brand new fancy car with several sheep in the back seat. This, of course, puzzled my dad greatly, so he approached the owner for an explanation. "Mr. Smith, you know I'm new to this country and have seen many things that are new to me, but this one I can't figure out. Why are you carrying sheep in your brand new beautiful car?" Mr. Smith, completely seriously replied, "Well, since they helped pay for the car, they darn well ought to be allowed to ride in it!" Hard to argue with that logic.

It has been suggested to eat some unpopped corn just before you die, to liven up the cremation.

John Krasinski and Emily Blunt used to be neighbors of Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney, and they were constantly pranking each other. Even have videos of some of their pranks.
The power of capturing unique and unbelievable events is something that resonates with both spontaneous sightings and planned photographic adventures. When documenting remarkable occurrences, such as a rare marine marvel seen on a local fisherman’s journey, it highlights the stunning and unexpected ways nature presents itself. It can be argued that witnessing such surprises in nature is akin to those startling images captured by photography enthusiasts.
For more about incredible natural phenomena, the story of the rare pink dolphin might catch your interest.

We Were Playing Darts When This Happened... I Was About To Win
These electronic dartboards are popular in bars here on the continent, but I never understand why anyone would pay to use them, as all they do is add up the scores for you. When I was younger in the UK it was almost as important to be able to keep score on the blackboard a it was to actually throw the darts.
Almost 12 Years Ago My Dad Caught A Picture So Rare That No One Believed Us When We Told Them. Today I Finally Found The Picture To Prove It

A Few Years Ago I Shot An Arrow Into Another Arrow, Perfectly
Sadly - you only get to brag about that when you do it on purpose. By accident is just luck. As a mediocre archer, I've done this maybe 5 times in 5 years. The first couple of times were a thrill - now I know it just means I managed to do the same thing twice in a row. Get a third arrow snuggled in with those two, and then you know you're heading down Robin Hood Lane. :)
It's called a 'Robin Hood' when that happens. I've never done it myself.

Poor baby I really hope someone actually helped him cos this isn’t funny ! He needs help ! Oh wait he’s in America he’s got no hope pfft
This mule deer has a deformity known as "cactus buck." This condition is often a result of an injury to the testes, which disrupts the normal antler growth cycle. The deformed antlers can hinder their ability to move, feed, or breed effectively. Also, the velvet covering the antlers is prone to infection and disease posing further health risks for the animal. So maybe it's a good thing if he's in America? If they do breed successfully, the awful and often times painful condition can be passed onto the offspring. I do not wish harm or anything bad upon any living creature but if it's obvious the animal is suffering and slowly, painfully dying it may be more humane to shoot them. Just trying to make the best of a not great scenario.

Load More Replies...I Was Riding In An Jetliner That Narrowly Avoided An In-Flight Collision With A Single-Engine Plane
At the time I happened to be looking out the window taking photos and saw the other plane well ahead of us and slightly to the left, but on an intercept course. Because we were moving so much faster the amount of distance between the two planes was closing fast. The pilots of both planes apparently saw each other at the last second and both made evasive maneuvers. The other plane banked hard left and my plane banked hard right, putting some distance between them. As soon as I felt the danger had passed I took this photo.
I am not a pilot but from that part of the wing i can see, i think that is a 737. That means, it has an ACAS ( anti collision avoiding system) and the pilot would therefore be warned about the other plane? It might sometimes feel like the other plane is very close but it normally is not
It is unlikely that TCAS (Traffic Collision Avoidance System) would have worked in that situation. The TCAS system works by using transponder broadcasts to monitor the position of other TCAS equipped aircraft and to issue instructions to the pilots to avoid a collision. TCAS only works to avoid collisions with other TCAS equipped aircraft. The light aircraft in the picture will not be equipped with TCAS. In fact, if it not flying in class A, B or C restricted airspace or above 10'000 feet, as is usual with light aircraft, the smaller plane probably doesn't even have a transponder.
