The skeptic in me thinks this was planned. Yellow submarining given that the author is selling something

  would be insane if it were a marketing stunt too! Taking the same picture of the same moment of a huge unplanned wave would be a feat worth of the marketing purpose.

    Well you could trigger pictures from the same clock and wait until something interesting happened...

      the article says that at least ron was shooting for 45 minutes. Which is an average time, but if you consider how many photos a modern camera takes per second... its technically possible to plan, but just as likely to happen on accident. And its definitely a wonderful example why the idea of intellectual property for photographs is a flawed concept. But its not an easy topic and photographers still need to earn their living. That means some protection from publishers that just take their shots without paying.

  Suggesting something on the internet is fake is a fool's errand. Anybody can do it about anything so it's worthless. What else might be fake? The story that it happened? Maybe he just took one photo and photoshopped it! Maybe it's not really a photographer at all. Maybe you live in the Matrix. This kind of reasoning goes down a black hole to nowhere. You have to maintain a basic level of trust in the source of information if you're going to have any interesting thoughts about it. Finding actual evidence of fakery would be worthwhile, or checking some features and reporting how you found none would be too. But there's no value suggesting it just because you feel cynical.
