Fake Fake Photography by binx

April 3rd, 2008 6:21 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Submit an image to a "photoshop" display or contest website, such as worth 1000. The catch: everything in your photo must either be captured in-camera or created using physical darkroom techniques; no digital manipulation allowed.

The point of the contest was to take a still image and then photoshop it to make it look like there was motion. So, I took two pictures, one still and one in motion. The cliphooks were the most interesting thing that I could find in my room to show this effect, plus I knew I could get two consistent shots of them.

To induce motion without moving the camera that I was holding (I don't have a tripod) I had some ribbon taped to the end of one of these cards, which i had wrapped around my toes. I was able to take one shot, jerk my foot, and then take the second shot.

I am only frustrated that the site uploaded the photo in the wrong orientation and there was no way to fix this.

Simple and convincing. Nice. Also, I like that "World of Possibilities" becomes "Vorld of oilities" when part of it is out of frame.

I don´t exactly understand what you did, but I like that you did it with your foot.
