very nice photos. but imho photoCHOP can do something similar rite???
if u go to grand canyon and take a few snaps of the cliffs, then in the studio of white background, take the tripod alone, then the person standing, leaping. use the lasso tool and feather to cut it. alternatively, use the magic wand and select the white background, invert selection. meddle with the layers and colour. flatten the image and export as JPG  |

It's fake IMHO.
The shadows of the man and color tones seem a bit off when matched with the cliffs. My 2 cents. |

Is there anyway, that he grab the edge of the cliff with only one hand and the other hand carrying the tripod?
In my opinion, it really sounds not logical unless he is trained one-handed-mountain climbing.... |

Just look at the background in the first pic...dark tan right? just like the jeans in that photo. Pump up the blues in that pic and u get blue jeans and a bluish background...just like the rest of the series. |

No big deal to me ... it is possible. If he can make his way to the rock then he is just plainly standing there and got shot by another photographer. |

Refer to the pictures links below and folllow the snopes page down to the bottom photo and click on it and you will see the entire rock and how easy it would be to get out there and too make that jump. Guest Yep nice shot, though not as scary when you know the drop - i.e. the gap between those two pieces of rock - is about 3 feet deep. Anon Good framing. What you can't see is the connecting ledge between the two rocks. You would only fall a short distance if the jump went wrong. http://www.pbase.com/cslr_challenge/image/34500182 QUOTE The area shown is a popular photographic spot in the Grand Canyon, for the very reason demonstrated above: if a photographer frames his picture just right, he can make it appear that his subject is leaping across a yawning chasm where the slightest misstep will seemingly result in the risk-taker's plummeting hundreds (if not thousands) of feet to certain death on the canyon floor below. What one doesn't see in these kinds of close shots is the connecting ledge just beneath the two rock formations, revealing that the jumper who misses his mark risks falling only a short ways, not plunging "900 meters": http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/canyonleap.asp real? photoshop? i say tat guy make the jump...u just need perfect timing, perfect angle and some luck to fool humans eye u no need expensive DSLR to do tat, any camera will do the same trick This post has been edited by LanEvoX: Jan 26 2007, 01:44 PM |
