I was going by a thread when it was posted on another website a few months ago. They argued items like "car in focus; background not" and "no rubber on road where tires would be sliding".

Heck.... I don't know. My photoshop skills are pretty low-level.

Yea, opinions are like armpits -- most folks have at least one and they often stink. I thought PhotoShop, too until I looked closely. No way it's faked. The camera was following the car, so the static parts of the image are blurred. The car is aligned exactly in the right plane and perspective. The shadows from the car are consistent with those of the trees; the tire smoke is where it should be. Street tires don't always lay down stripes.... etc. And I'm good enough with PhotoShop that I get paid to do it.

It's funny that PhotoShop has made us all suspicious of the images we see.

What brings up suspicion is the difference in clarity (actually, just focus) between the pavement and the car. But she is indeed genuine.

It's not focus, but motion. The photographer was moving the camera to follow the car so the car is sharp, but the background is blurred. Obviously this was taken by someone very good at following the subject. The picture in my avatar is another example of doing this though it's hard to tell with how small it is shrunk down. Go take a look at the larger versions of my avatar that are found on the wallpaper link in my sig.

Yup, that's what I meant. You got better wurds ;-)

That's a mistake you don't make twice!

Imagine what it must have felt like to wipe while that was healing a constant reminder long after the alcohol had worn off.

Not to be outdone...




BTW this is not me, but like many passing by this town in Newfoundland, I stopped to get my pic taken just like this... my photo is buried somewhere in an album in non-digital form, so this will just have to do.

There was a video of some similarly moronic youths with bottle rockets a couple of weeks ago floating around our e-mails. The guy there used an orifice as the "launch pad", so I think the guy in the pics here may actually be a little smarter....

The Butt Rocket video is on ebaum, I think. Check this one out:
