Well this is a different one. Is the person photoshopped in? Are they peering over the top of an architecture student's scale model? I do wish the person either was in focus or was somehow more suggestive. I'm also ambivalent about the smile. On the one hand it's nice, but on the other hand it kind of gives the image a "shapshot" feel (I hope that makes sense). Just one person's opinion :-)

Nice. :)
I got dizzy when I scrolled down and the building seemed to tilt.

ChriZ said 514 days ago:

not photoshopped and no scale model!
This was a 8 second exposure! Now, my friend didn't notice that I pressed the button already and just grined into the camera! I then informed him, and he quickly got out of sight!

I have to smile every time I see the pic!

ha ha. fun! would have been good for 'looking up!'

Ana said 514 days ago:

so your friend is 50 feet tall?

George said 514 days ago:

Hmmm. My small brain can't wrap around what appears to be conflicting sizes. I'm really curious to hear a more detailed description.

ChriZ said 514 days ago:

ok... the setup:
Camera on tripod at ground level (10 centimeters off the ground)
Me, triggering the camera with a 3 second timer, my friend looking down into the camera for 2-4 seconds!
Black sky that doesn't have any color information!
You can see his arm blending into the building!

It's just a great coincidence! But totally makes sense!

Ana said 514 days ago:

OHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I get it now!!

Look out! GODZILLA!

EXP said 514 days ago:

Man, that's twice on this them alone that I thought there was photochopping involved and it wasn't. I'm glad to see that they're just simple camera tricks. Makes me appreciate these shots more! Nice!

Funny image, great idea!!

shashin said 513 days ago:

A little blurry... I can't really figure out what I'm looking at... that can work sometimes, but for this one I find it confusing in a negative way.

shashin said 513 days ago:

I get it now... don't think it quite hits the theme, but it's a fun idea.

George said 513 days ago:

Ah! Now I get it! Thanks. I wasn't gonna be able to sleep tonight ;-)
