to be fair, those campus ones were probably just done with the lighting, there's 3 flashes in use in that photo for a start, 2 with umbrellas. i don't see owt there thats necessarily photoshop.

How the fuck can you tell that? Top quality photo-geekism

if you zoom in you can see them reflected in his eyes. i was going to write what Dave wrote, but sometimes I can't be arsed swimming against the tide of anything you don't expect to see in a photo being 'photoshop madness'. The end result is they look a bit unreal/ overdone though,

[Bubba]

Ah, that's a great tip JB, nice one

to be fair, i'd seen that photo on flickr before so it wasn't hard to find the actual webpage detailing the lighting setup.

Camera Left: SB800 shot through umbrella
Camera Right: SB600 shot through umbrella 2 stops lower
Camera top: SB28 bare with snoot (OK...magazine page wrapped around the head)

For pictures hosted on flickr that you've not seen before, but that you'd like to find out more about you can use the Flickr Finder tool that Bubba found t'other day.

I was actually joking in this instance, though it does work, web pics are rarely at a high enough resolution though.

Even Beastmaker's aren't immune to over-doing the Photoshop thang

Thats predator vision, not photoshop

[lagerstarfish]

That's not photoshop. The photographer has used a forensic ALS light like the ones they use on CSI. In this case the semen deposits show up as bright patches, creating what is known as a "wank" effect.

So, if thats predator vision (heat sensitive) then this dude has a really cool head (strange) and is reaching for a hot jug/hold.. if its Lagers Wankovision (tm) then aside from splurging up his own arm the incosiderate soul has left great jism tickmarks all over the problem. Tsk... get the lad some Kleenex..
I also suspect he is left handed...

we're all in for a rare treat this month - if all you connesieurs of photoshop-enabled aesthetic genoside can lay your hands on the May '09 issue of Climb magazine you are rewarded with one of the most grotesque, obvious, and not to mention badly-executed displays of fake-shallow-DOF effect I've ever seen, and certainly never in print. Turn to page 13. Unbefuckinglieveable.

Will have to wait a month until unsold issues appear in the charity donation section of CragX before I can check this out (I donate to MR anyway, but if I get a free mag out of it, minus cover, then its a bargain  )

[dave]

believe me when these hit the charity bins the shops will have to tape a fiver to the cover just to shift em.

I got to see this today. To be fair the out-of-focus effect is quite well executed except for the transition where, I agree, it questions the validity of the entire publishing trade.

Lagers, I think my eyes are on fire.

[robertostallioni]

Looks like master Samwise belaying on  the walls of Mordor.

Not sure if this has been posted before?



I've only been when the tide is out.

I think it has. Very cockish
