[Closed] Clever Photo

Clever Photo

Is it?

😕

Lost on me

Wooooooooooosh----->
😐

curious

I get it, it is a Surley Karate! Oh, it isn't...
Guess I don't get it either...

too clever for me..

Tracker, that was my first thought too.

You want a lighting diagram?

The guy has a shortened thumb and can't put his toes flat on the floor? Shadows both go outwards on both sides of the image? The 'MTB' is actually hyrid due to the slick tyre - clever because it is pretending to be something it isn't?

it's not clever. somebody is holding up the bike out of shot. even i can work that out.

Ooo oo oo, is it a 39" wheeler, but far away, so that it looks like a normal bike? No? Oh.

does he have cleats screwed into his feet?

Is that the clever bit, using two lights, well, distinct light sources I guess? Can't say I had noticed to be honest, now trying to imagine it with more "normal" lighting, guess it would be flatter?
Anyway, night all!

It's actually a photo of a chicken with an orange shoved up it's bum, but clever lighting makes it look like half a man and half a bike?

Just out of shot is a fish?

Oh I see, the bike has black fork crown, but the man, he is only a black belt...

The man has creased his trousers side to side rather thank front to back. Clever indeed

A frescel or something similar. a snoot would have a similar effect as it's a hard light source.

SuperstarComponents forks? And it is clever as the image isn't slating anything (from either side!)

it's Fresnel not frescel.
he was French so you pronounce it 'fray-nel'

Cleverly badly composed shot giving a focal hot spot in the dark area between the two things on either side - I think they are a bike and a man in a bath robe or something but I just can't stop looking in the space between them.

Is he going to have a fight with a bike?

If so, the "after" shot would be better than the "before" shown above.

Give that photo a PhD!

I dont get it

The more I look at it, the more I think it is a gawd-awful picture. It annoys me.

M_F +1

does it represent Lord Lucan about to ride Shergar?

THe bloke in the picture is the_lecht_rocks.
The clever bit was cutting off his annoying smug face.....

ti- chi?

What's so clever about it then?

Go on OP, you're dying to tell us, and it'll boost your self esteem no end!

Did it invent the USB Toaster ?

Tenuous, is is a nicolai belt drive. Belt drive/black belt?

Still a shyte pic whatever the link is! 😕

I want him to come back and explain what's so clever about it

Is the rider called Dan?

Beyond me.

Who thinks my version is better?

Was a bit of a slow day for me One Photo Every Day wise......

the litter spoils it.

and you seem to have a full complement of digits on your left hand too.

Simonralli - The valve isn't at the bottom of the wheel 0/10

poorly pressed jeans too

Chuckling at Simon. Good effort. 😀

Simon, you have a fully developed thumb. Points off for that. Otherwise a good effort.

And a squid hanging from his mouth.

Valve/tyre logo alignment fail Simon. Keep trying though.

Taking Simon as my insiration, and using the tools I have available right now (iPhone and Flickr's editing tools) I came up with my homage to my bike. I hope you like it.

reflector fail.

Very orange hand.

portacabin needs a painting.

Hand made orange on purpose. 🙂

And the crank arm isn't either perfectly horizontal or vertical either. You really must try harder.

Fisting a tangerine?

I haven't got the time to do another. You should see the looks I got doing 3 takes of that one here at work! 😳

Was it taken on a smart phone ?

Clever photo on a smart phone?

There will be no need for humans soon.

[i]There will be no need for humans soon[/i]

someone's got to supply the 'stupid' , may as well be us humans....

original picture - trouser pressing FAIL. I bet he/she irons creases in their shirt sleeves too. Terrible.
Simonralli...never mind the valve not being at the bottom - it's nowhere near the tyre logo ffs!
Peterpotty...third degree burns, reflectors and mudguards? epic FAIL.

My PowerPoint version.

Do I get a prize?

And harry the arachnid - have you too much time on your hands (I mean, even more than the average STW user)?

[i]Do I get a prize? [/i]

No, no you don't

Lobey Dosser and Harry the Spider for best retorts to an otherwise puzzling post.

Good work, fellas.

i don't think the OP is going to come back enlighten us, as clearly we are aesthetic Neanderthals who lack an appreciation of the nuances of the photographic art

Aesthetically pleasing or not, it's still shite.

Neanderthals who lack an appreciation of the nuances of the photographic art

I like pichurs. Just not that one.

Ah you are all sheep ruled by valves. I am a free man and care not where the valve is. 😀

Oh and I went for the squid as I thought I may get a banning if I dangled an octopi from my neck but that's a whole different conversation.

We will follow you!

I reckon he doesn't know, I bet someone said "hey isn't this photo clever" he nodded pretending to know when he really didn't. Then came on here and thought, I'll show everyone how cultured and smart I am. Posted the pic and then panicked when people asked why.

This thread isn't weird.

This on the other hand is.

Laughed my moobs off!

I reckon you're right.

OP, please enlighten us.

Simon, In your photo I notice that there is evidence of a paedo-goatie. Be careful, the nice man who posed for the photo may not actually be very nice at all.

However, if you shop him to the Daily Mail you may get a few quid.

Also, even a nonce would line up his valves/logos. Sort it out.

Harry, what have you got against Gary Fisher ?

S****.

That shirt has to be a result of some [i]serious[/i] recreational pharmacology.

And that hat is the result of painting the ceiling with an over loaded roller.

In the original pic, neither of the subjects has thumbies.

Its all about the lighting in the photo.The source of light comes from the front and yet it hasnt created any shadow.

it hasnt created any shadow.

apart from the very obvious shadow of the front wheel and the blokes legs?

So it isn’t a visual pun ?

Ti - Chi
Ti - Kwondo

"apart from the very obvious shadow of the front wheel and the blokes legs?"

Considering the strength of the light source there is a very definite lack of shadow.

Nope, very definate very black shadows on my screen

It really is about time the OP came back and explained the 'clever' stuff.

[i]the nice man who posed for the photo may not actually be very nice at all[/i]

Huh? don't you know Simon only ever takes photos of [i]himself[/i]?
