In the military, snipers are one of the sneakiest jobs you can have. You need to have a serious knack for hide and seek, not to mention a ton of patience to remain unseen for long periods of time. A photographer called  Simon Menner  has made a game out of snapping pictures of marksmen in action. Ultimately, this just ends up looking like a landscape picture. And a seemingly boring one at that.

Although, the aim of the game is to look at the picture and point out the sniper. People have been blown away at the ability of the soldiers to hide so well. In so many of the pictures, people would scrutinize the image, breaking down everything they see with their eyes. Although, in real life, one wouldn't have the time to do this. It would be too late for you as you would be so oblivious to the danger lurking in the shadows.

Where's Waldo

It all started in 2010 and 2013. Simon requested to photograph the German military. In particular, the marksmen. Then, in 2022, he went to photograph the marksmen in Lithuania and Latvia while they were hiding out of eyesight. They did it so well, that the pictures gained a lot of attention online. People were dumbfounded that they could not spot the man with a gun. However, this does mean they are doing their jobs right.
