Lake Monster?

Bloody hell. My camera is nearly worthless for taking blurry shots. Its got all sorts of wretched auto-focus and lens protectors (it closes if you push on it) and even a stabilizer. I'll have to blur the stick monster in post production.
 
It goes without saying but...

This picture is just the kind of ambiguous "PROOF" most Bleevers need.

Just clear enough to make out a "Lake Monster" like shape.

Not clear enough to rule it out as complete hoax,well maybe this one yes actually but you get my point.....

It's not the actual creature thats important it's the Mystery Of It All, the hunt, the chase, the knowing something (allegedly) that no one else does the specialness of believing in the power of Manda!!
 
and did he only get off ONE shot? It's always important to get the whole roll of film (or I guess series with digital). What do the shots taken before and after look like?

Funny how the most important film ever taken (of say a UFO or lake monster) are handled so poorly that no one can find the other shots.
 
Since the two photos on cryptomundo have different aspect ratios, I think we can assume that they are cropped, and if they were real, it would be reasonable to assume that they were taken with a normal or wide lens such as one might find on a cheap point and shoot camera, then cropped to the max. This is why most of the pictures we get of Champ and Nessie and the like are so awful. The best supposed picture of Champ was taken with an instamatic camera at considerable distance on ordinary film, and the cropped detail is so compromised by grain, lens quality and glare off the water that it could be anything you want it to be.

Not that I think for a moment that these new shots are real. Way too many problems with shadows, wake, provenance, angle, physiology, etc. But if they were real, the blurring could be explained easily enough. Like crows at the glint of a gun barrel, it seems lake monsters and sasquatches can sense a telephoto lens from a mile away.

ETA, by the way, looking at the pictures again, there's a real problem with depth of field. If the images are cropped from a distant shot with a normal lens, the foreground should not be so blurry, especially in daylight when you would expect a fairly small aperture. It suggests that the monster was quite close to the camera, or that a very long telephoto lens with very shallow depth of field was used. In the first case, it would mean that the monster is a model. In the second, you would not expect to see evidence of cropping. And in either, it makes it hard to excuse the lack of detail, unless it was done on purpose to obfuscate.

Hoax? I don't know what you people are talking about. I'm 100% convinced that this is in fact a photograph, and nothing you say will make me change my mind.

What isolated body of water was it again that this cute little critter frolics about in? Follow up question: is it a rule now that every single isolated lake on earth must have a cute little critter swimming around in it?
