Photographer Simon Menner captured the image featuring a hidden figure.
A photographer captured a shot of a deadly sniper concealed from his target, but can you find him?
If you’re up for a challenge this weekend or simply want to prove you’re a bit better than your sibling, friend, or partner, then this is the page for you.
From optical illusions to what seem like glitches in the matrix, there are countless scenes that challenge our minds and require a closer look to fully understand everything happening.
Photographer Simon Menner has managed to capture examples of this in his ‘Camouflage’ series, which focused on photographing a number of different environments with one thing in common: there were snipers hidden in every image.
Personally, I don’t think I’d stick around to snap a photo if I knew there was a highly trained shooter nearby—especially if I couldn’t see them. But Menner held his ground and took the shot.
The camera shot, that is.
On his website, Menner explains that “Although they remain unseen due to their expertise, each of these images contains hidden snipers.
Their aim is directed at the camera, and by extension, at the viewer.”
Menner captured these photos with the assistance of the German, Lithuanian, and Latvian Armies, who generously provided him with access to their snipers for his photography project.
“I am incredibly grateful for the openness I experienced,” he remarked.
“So, can you spot the sniper in this photo?”
“Menner captured the photo by aiming his lens towards a tower rising from a snow-covered landscape. From his vantage point, hidden under the cover of trees, the scene appears otherwise desolate.”
“However, it’s clear now that Menner wasn’t alone in the area when the photo was taken.”
“If you have sharp eyesight or take the time to zoom in and scrutinize the photo, you might be able to spot the sniper.”
If you still can’t spot him, let me point him out for you.
The sniper is concealed in the gap between the wall on the tower’s second floor, tucked in the corner with his gun aimed directly at the camera.
He’s not easy to spot, but remember, that’s the whole idea…
