the "what did i photoshop" game

[Tonka]

with the way a quad is designed to have equal weight distrobution. I would say physics and gravity would cause the bike to fall, unelss it were tied to the bucket by the front bumper. Also with the weight of said bike being hoisted up that far off the ground, the tractor would be off balance and cause the rear wheels to come off the ground since most of the tractors weight is over and slightly behind the front wheels. As for photoshop, I have no earthly clue.

The rear tires on the tractor are filled with water/antifreeze mix. That holds em down. If you're familiar with the old Ford tractors, you'd be able to tell that front axle is sagging from the weight. (This tractor is an old 2N model, built in 1946) Even if not familiar, you can tell by the camber of the front wheels.

The photo has only been modified to "crop" it with the ATV extending beyond the rest of the photo. That's what makes people think the whole thing is fake.

What happened is I got the ATV frame-bound in a snow-drift and it wouldn't move so I had to walk home and get the tractor and a plastic bucket full of chains. After I got it pulled out, I was too lazy to walk back after driving the tractor home (about a mile with wet, freezing feet) so I attempted to tow the ATV by chaining it to the grader blade on the back of the tractor so I could lift the front axle off the ground like a tow truck, but that wasn't working so I just carried it home in the bucket. In the first pic, due to the angle, you couldn't see the chains.

Next one . . . I will check back in the AM.

Well it's kind of hard to guess too much because it's a somewhat abstract painting, ... the whole thing is somebody's artwork.

But I can see where the cutout paths weren't perfect around that bird-bath thing that hangs over the edge of the canvas on the left center, and also the painter's arm and air hose. You can see the texture and gradient of the air hose isn't the same where it extends beyond the canvas.

The drop-shadow was also added.

In those items you are correct, those were intended to be that way and were part of the chop, but not the main "chop" in this one. Now I am off to bed - I will let you all dwell on the rest . . .

i dont think that he is supposed to be holding an air brush.

 

[88_Eddie]

yeah, you can see the end of what was the paintbrush.

the chair is also a real pic of chair it looks like.

i'm gonna say the painter shirt sleeve is added also.

that's a crazy pic though. it looks like someone took a norman rockwell painting and went salvador dali on it ass.

 

[Hazmat Ranger]

Original Painting is by Dali . . .

Chop:

The chair was a pic with effects added to make it look painted so to speak.

Good job guys - some of those were not too easy, other popped right out.

 

[88_Eddie]

yeah, you can see where you added texture to the chrome on the legs. the seat gave it away to me, the light reflection looks too real. an interesting chop though, nice work.

that dali was one weird SOB. lol

 

[Hazmat Ranger]

thanks eddie - that reflection was the hardest part of the entire chop - drove me crazy getting it like that. And this is a mild Dali painting - LOL.

 

[88_Eddie]

this is my favorite dali, not a painting, but still impressive....or maybe just time consuming

 

[Hazmat Ranger]

that is crazy - I looked up how it was made - very impressive photograph . . . imagine a great grandchild of Dali getting their hands on photoshop - oh hell!!

There was an experiment I once read about in which researchers had a bunch of spiders, and with the test subjects they mixed tiny amounts of LSD with water and sprayed it on the spiders, or on whatever the spiders were eating, and it caused the LSD spiders to spin crazy, bizarre webs that looked more like a street map of Pittsburgh than anything neat and orderly like the control group spiders were making.

I am always reminded of that study whenever I see abstract art.

I don't know anything about this Dali Llama person, but I will grant one exception for M.C. Escher. The man was a genius.

 

[88_Eddie]

x2, escher was cool, dali was just weird. you'd probably know some of this stuff if you saw it.


you've had to have seen this

Some abstract artists try to express certain ideas without words. The melted clocks have certainly got to mean something. But other ones like Picasso just seem to be totally demented and their works are just random and meaningless.

Kind of like how I am filling this post with random smileys. It's totally meaningless and many people will simply interpret it as annoying.
