Photoshopped! I can tell by the direction of the ice and the fact that I have seen many shops before.

Get you head out of your ass Shopped! You have obviously never seen a real winter before. I’m from Canada and have seen some pretty bizarre things happen in winter before. Ice storms like this happen, not often, but they do.

These are NOT shopped. Take a look at the pics. They are near WATER. Like blowing water whipped up by the storm. Notice the ice is not up and down?

Idiots.

NOT shopped happend in switzerland during a strong winter, so stfu with u wannaby photoshop experts, stop playing wow and getout of ur rooms und get some reality, because sometimes it looks like on these pictures.

DAMN “SHOPPED”, FUCK OFF I CANT HEAR IT

shopped. i know from MY long experience with ’shop. And ice doesn’t actually exist.

on 15 Nov 2008 at 8:39 pm 16.pshop said …

shopped. there have been no recorded instances of anyone actually coming in contact with cars or shopping carts, let alone water and ice.
on 15 Nov 2008 at 8:43 pm 17.Joel said …

Whilst I seriously doubt this was shopped.. if it was… it must have taken a LONG time.. and why would you take all that time just to post 5 pictures and have people rant about it. It is so much easier to take your camera outside and snap those 5 pictures…
on 15 Nov 2008 at 9:27 pm 18.Dman said …

These are totally photoshopped. There is no way people actually live where it gets that cold. And ice became extinct long ago…..come on people take a chill pill
on 16 Nov 2008 at 3:29 am 19.shooped said …

Definitely shopped, I can tell by science, and by the opinions of my colleagues, who are experienced in shops, shopping and the shopping of things. Ice is a myth.

shoppoddy shop shop shopped

It’s funny to watch everyone get pissed when someone says something is shopped. Though it’s probably a GOOD thing you don’t spend enough time on the internet to understand the jokes, it’s hysterical that you all get so angry.

“It’s shopped. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few shops in my time.”

many of these are from the ice storm in 97/98 that hit Quebec hard.

hahah it’s awesome when people take the people that say it’s shopped seriously.

i think all the posts about shopped are actually shopped. their shadows and textures are all wrong, as well as the logic and spelling. yep, definitely shopped. The photos are real though. yep, definitely
on 22 Nov 2008 at 3:26 am 29.colorado said …

well i can’t say anything for the bottom pics with the massive horizontal icicles, but the top few at the gas pump are probably real. I’ve seen that happen before.
on 22 Nov 2008 at 1:22 pm 30.Tom said …

Totally photoshopped. I can tell by the shadows, pictures and reflections and also by the fact that ice doesn’t exist.

How shopped are those! Try harder noob
on 21 Dec 2008 at 8:40 am 36.Jeff said …

One, This actually happens, you non believers. Two, these pictures were taken from a shoreline in the wintertime, anyone whose ever lived by the shore in the wintertime during strong winds will know this is indeed not “shopped…” This has happened to me, not quite as severe but close!
on 21 Dec 2008 at 6:52 pm 37.Duh Shopped! said …

Due to global warming, we all know that ice no longer exists. These images are therefore clearly shopped, and anyone who says otherwise is merely clinging to a futile hope.
on 21 Dec 2008 at 9:36 pm 38.WOW said …

I think all the comments doubting that this is shopped are actually shopped to cover up the fact that this was obviously shopped.
on 22 Dec 2008 at 9:04 am 39.Kcin said …

To all the fools saying these pictures were shopped, get real!!! They were done using MS Paint, you can see the Spray can effect in a few of the images…
on 22 Dec 2008 at 1:53 pm 40.t5 said …

no, these were done obviously in a text editor. ASCII ice storm. ftw
on 22 Dec 2008 at 5:32 pm 41.Phil E. Drifter said …

Iunno if anyone’s mentioned it yet, but these pics are clearly photoshooped; I would know, i’ve seen a few photoshooped images in my day. Totally photoshooped, the shadows are all pixelated.
on 22 Dec 2008 at 11:43 pm 42.Shooped said …

I can tell from the pixels, and from seeing many shops in my day, these are without a doubt shopped.

These comments are hilarious, and seriously, just because something looks surreal doesn’t mean it has to be shopped :p. Could be, but whatever. Anyways, and i thought the ice on my car was bad a few days ago lol

on 24 Dec 2008 at 8:46 pm 53.SupaShoppaPoppa said …

First off, we all know coastal waterfronts aren’t prone to bad ice storms. You’d need to travel to our alternate dimension where ice is formed in low-temperature climates. Second, the ‘ice’ shown in all pics clearly looks like a rough, acrylic epoxy. Nice try… nubs.

anyone who lives in the Chicago area knows not only that all of this is possible but also how annoying it is to deal with the ice glaze

The pics were take in Geneve, Swiss (Europe). Been there some time ago. Looks great! The pics are on the Lake Geneve, and they look real to me.

Pfff, this is not Photoshopped! Only the power of The GIMP could pull this off. Also, by running MSPaint in a virtual box on your Linux Desktop you can also rub yourself all night long!

the photo’s are real, the comments are real, but this web page is shopped, as i have seen MANY, MANY shopped web pages in my time spent shopping for shopped shops!!!!

no it is in fact real. if you ever go to Nigeria falls in the winter its a lot like that. i dont know where these photos are taken. but Niagara is beautiful. get out of florida.

Those against ’shopped’ say Aye.
That’s it. Aye Wins!

The pics look great! shop or no shop.
I rest my case your lordship.

The shopped joke will never die…it was shopped that way from the beginning.
on 07 Jan 2009 at 12:37 pm 66.Shopkeeper said …

Totally photoshopped. If you’ll look closely in the first picture you’ll notice a hand touching the ice. Everyone knows that if you were to put your hand that close to ice it would be immediately incinerated in an Anakin/Darth Vader like fashion (y’know, where your flesh catches fire and then miraculously and inexplicably stops burning for no particular reason other than George Lucas wills it to be so. Fuck you George Lucas).
on 07 Jan 2009 at 1:32 pm 67.Dr. oswik said …

you can tell these are shopped they are from canada theres no water there to make ice… only maple syrup so maple syrup + negative degrees = maplice. i know seems crazy but i can tell by the pixels having seen a few shoppes in my time

i invented photoshop in my garage, they are all shopped, i would know because i made them.

p.s. gas stations have been ice-proof since 1992

these were definitly shooped, jurassic park was real.

hey keith! go shop yourself!!!

But seriously… i think it’s an inside shop.
on 08 Jan 2009 at 10:56 am 73.Beliver said …

These are definitely NOT photoshopped, as i know people and have seen LIVE webcam views of them, so all in all QUIT saying they are photoshopped!
on 08 Jan 2009 at 12:54 pm 74.Shoop Shoop said …

naahh c’mon…

live webcams can be photoshopped on the fly, as i know from some people who work in giant chinese-photo-sweatshops to shop things like these!

so still no proof, that these are not shopped.
on 08 Jan 2009 at 11:48 pm 75.trollkiller said …

Come on now people all the trolls saying this is shopped all know it is not.

They can’t feel tough anyway else besides ruining forums for other people.

There is ice cars do exist and yes in Canada this happens from time to time.

on 10 Jan 2009 at 4:06 am 78.jeff said …

definetly shopped. ice doesnt exist anymore. or its endangered. either way no human could stand on the ice because they would explode, therefor making a photo impossible
on 10 Jan 2009 at 5:05 am 79.Splagh said …

This screen is totally shopped. Mouse clicking, the noise it makes, clearly a shoop. I know from hearing the sounds of photoshop for hundreds of hours high in the andes mountains during the winter of 82 for nine hours a day. Clearly it is all a fantastic shoop. And look at the reflections on my hands! God it disturbs me to think that people honestly believe my hands are real. I could shoop these from a chihuahua picture in less than 3/4ths of a second due to my extensive shoop ninja training in calgary by the great Shoopmaster Shoopdog.
Those pictures by the way, could have been done with some crayon, a block of lard, three homeless immigrants, a few yards of string, the contents of an orphan, a drum of fine lager, and seventeen years of uncontrolled female beard growth. I can tell, having much experience in such things.
on 10 Jan 2009 at 2:02 pm 80.nico said …

it dose not just happen on the cost it happened in New Hampshier just a little while ago. we lost power for about a week and others lost power for longer than that. i would of thought the trees in these pics would have broken. ice although not real to some is very heavy.
when we had the ice storm in N.H. trees were falling down all over the place and they were at least 4 times biger than the ones in the pics but i would have liked to have been their when that happened.

Nice photoshop effects where can I download them???
on 11 Jan 2009 at 2:59 am 82.Nick said …

People need to realise that when someone says its shopped etc that they are really not serious. They are just stupid and cannot come up with an appropriate comment to leave, and thus feel self conscious about their stupidity and leave a dumb comment to make them self feel a little more important. Then they get attention from ppl saying your stupid, its not shopped.

In other words just ignore them and the world will be a better place.

Nick.

It’s definitely shopped.

C’mon, guys, there’s a guy in one of those pictures. CLEARLY people don’t exist. So they must be shopped.

These picture are clearly shopped, as i have shopped over 9000 pictures. also, these pictures cannot be from canada, as they do not have gas or trees.

Look,we all know the shopped comments are a joke,it’s just been done to death.I can not imagine how sad your little lives are just trolling from site to site posting the same inane unfunny drivel.
on 28 Jan 2009 at 3:54 pm 87.unhairy fox said …

The pics are beautiful; awesome views and landscapes. And the “photoshop” commentaries, while a bit wearing towards the end, were pretty funny. However, the obviously have no basis in truth, and were simply for entertainment. I mean, obviously that wasn’t ice, it was a fox with mange.
on 28 Jan 2009 at 10:06 pm 88.Gimpshopper said …

Cmon, def Gimp Shopped, cos I know as I have Gshopped 10’s of pics and due to the contrast, lighting, angles, shadows, and the pixelating quality that it was g/shopped.
I have never in my life (so far) seen such long drips on a tree for them to form into icicles.
Also, the properties showing on Gimp shows that an extremley slow shutter speed was used – like were you standing there for 7 hours making sure the shutter speed will set in?
on 29 Jan 2009 at 4:47 am 89.Techno said …

WOW! Those PhotoShop filter effects are amazing. How long would it take to do this without the filters is the question we should be asking. Say… are these filters available to the general public yet and do they run on a Mac?
on 29 Jan 2009 at 2:31 pm 90.GMacD said …

Third photo looks a lot like Niagra Falls on the Canadian side of course.
on 29 Jan 2009 at 3:14 pm 91.PhotographerJoe said …

Hello my name is Joe and I am a professional photographer. I have been taking photos since I was 2 weeks old.

It is quite evident in photos 4 and 5 that these images were photo shopped. Notice how the foreground is covered in ice (cart and van) and the background isn’t (building and other van). Plus the shadows are all wrong and if you look closely at all the photos you can notice some pixelation effects caused by the inexperienced photo shoppers.

The easiest mistake to spot however is photo 6. Notice how the man walking in the background is completely untouched by the ice. If this photo were real he would totally be covered in ice.

the site is shopped and you’re in the matrix.

I know because Scientology says so

I just accidently all the pictures
on 29 Jan 2009 at 8:20 pm 94.CalRageous said …

OK…the car in the background of pic 3 is the same vehicle as in ic 6. So how could you shop the same element exactly in two different pics…that’s because they are actual photos.

Yes, we Canadians have experienced this, I do remember the Quebec storm vividly…most costly natural disaster in Canadian history…ironically I live in South Carolina now…and we had an ice storm here in 2005 that destroyed thousands of trees and left 500,000 without power for a week.
on 29 Jan 2009 at 8:20 pm 95.anti-anti said …

any ametuer photographer can tell that these picture always have been, are, and always will be photoshopped.
Time is not linear, its more of a liquid
these are not photos, they are more of a digitally processed image

They are just photos. Why does every one have to act like they are at a CIA image forensics lab or something? Shopped a joke? why perpetuate such a dumbass joke. Yes, ice will form horizontally. It will form in any direction the wind blows the water. #82 Nick, you are right! All shop jokesters suck.

o.k i have seen storms that can get this bad, but these are shopped look at the one with the bus if you look at the backround none of the buildings have ice on them and same with the bushes there perfectly green and fresh, yet the bus and ground are coverd in ice, please explain to me if these aren’t shopped how a bus can be coverd in ice yet the bushes are what so ever…

Seriously, everyone who realised all the ’shopped’ comments were trolls, and subsequently posted your knowledge of such a fact, along with a little ‘get out of your mom’s basement’ quip? You were fuckin’ trolled. Could be that I’ve just been trolled, sure. But hey. I -know- I have nothing better to do than feed them.

those are DEFINITELY shopped. There is NO way icicles that long can hang from a tree without gravity snapping them in half.

Someone mentioned these pictures were taken in Switzerland. To further dissuade any naysayers left, these pictures were taken in Versoix, Switzerland on the shores of Lake Leman. Lake Leman borders southwestern Switzerland and France.

Now all of these thoughtless posts could have been avoided had someone properly cited their resources as these pictures are clearly taken from another site and are someone else’s work.

These photos are cool, I mean cold. We have too many chiefs and not enough indians. Everyone on the internet is a freakin’ expert. And it seems we have nothing better to do than argue about something as irrelevant as this.

What a bunch of losers. Get a life and don’t open your trap when you don’t know shit. Pretty neat photos, though.

clearly the bush administration (when it was in office) shopped these photos to let you think the ice terrorists are attacking. Amazing photos though.
on 07 Feb 2009 at 12:12 pm 118.Laura said …

If ice doesn’t exit any longer due to Global warming, then wtf did i slide around and fell on this morning? It sure felt and looked like ice! (never ever lick icey iron!! never!)

I’m okay that people believe it’s shopped since they proberly know what there talking about. But that it doesn’t get cold enough anymore to freeze the water to ice? c’mon the freezing point is 0 centigrade! it gets lover than that all the time in DK Actually this years winter has so fra been the COLDEST for many years!

and that gravity would break the Icicles on the middle? maybe if it was made of papir and had a rock in the end, but ice is pretty solid and you may notice how it gets thinner in the end?

that no one live on places this cold.. well i take it that you’ve never been to Russia? neither have I and neither had the nazi army those fools! The Soviet Union beat up the german ’cause they weren’t prepared for tempratures down to -50 centigrades

Shopped or not, this is nothing improbable. It might be extreme in those pictures, but similar phenomenon appear here every winter. I live near a large fresh water lake in Sweden. When it is cold and stormy before ice has laid trees, bushes and cars get iced over along the shore.

Minus degrees, stormy and open water is what it takes to form it. It might be possible to shop it too, but that effort wouldn’t be necessary.

These are obviously shopped. I shopped them myself to make it obvious. I went to the shop and asked for a shopping trolley of shops for the shop and then I shop shop shop shop. Shop.

Obviously shopped. Everyone knows there’s no such thing as ice storms, they all went extinct due to global warming. We only have thunderstorms. I would know, I’m a weather man. Also, the reflections are TOTALLY all wrong.

Defo shopped – Ice is a myth.

I wonder if anyone realizes “It’s shopped” comments are overused enough that they’re far past being any sort of amusing?

Guys, you all know Snopes is shopped right? I checked, the texture is all off.

White 10% Gmask, 15% Sharpen and some nifty edgework. Whoever shopped these is truly a master.

Definitely shopped. The water is running in the oceans, and if it were that cold, the oceans would have frozen over as well.

And it’s also because I paid $30 for prints of these at the place where they sold it. I had to shop that, you know.

Of course it is not ’shopped’ other than they may have been cropped, sharpened and color enhanced.. that’s it. This is what ice will do. I’m from Canada and I see this kind of thing happen. Maybe not to this extent, since I don’t live on the coast.

Wow, nice shopping skills.

Ok. These are NOT ‘SHOPPED! I’ve seen ice like this before in real life. These are totally real!

You morans think all photos are ’shopped.

There’s The Gimp too, you know. They might be Gimpped but they are not ’shopped. I can tell by the pixels and having seen many ’shopped photos in my time.

These are definitely ’shopped. I can tell by the direction of the pixels, and having seen many ’shopped photos in my time.
