You can see Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England from Snaefell.
No, I’m not. The Independent has covered the story in good faith so I’m happy to stand corrected. One hell of a powerful zoom lens tho.’Finnegan, are you acquainted with Howth Castle and Environs?
I wasn’t challenging your word at all, or that of the Independent. I was just making a veiled James Joyce reference in a desperate but doomed attempt to be accepted by the pfm literati.No, I’m not.

I’ve seen, at sunset, the Isle of Man from Blackpool
Focus stacked possibly, done automatically in Photoshop or maybe the houses were some distance away from the lens?IMO it is a fake - there's no one lens that can have that foreground of houses and the far distance (how many km?) captured in one frame.
I’ve been messing about on Google Maps, and I reckon that small black pagoda-like structure that appears to be on the shore (although it isn’t) is just under 1km from the photographer.Focus stacked possibly, done automatically in Photoshop or maybe the houses were some distance away from the lens?
So the foreground houses probably 500m away with an F5.6 ish aperture 500mm lens it might be doable in the one shot?

About 750m.So the foreground houses probably 500m away...
Ah, but she might have said whales...My daughter works with a young woman originally from near Dún Laoghaire, across Dublin bay, and she has confirmed that as a child growing up, she'd see Wales a handful of times a year.
