Skydiver and the sun
-
You may have seen this photo going around lately. It's an amazing photo capturing a skydiver in front of a high-def sun. There is a video of how it was done, and it is indeed impressive. My next post will be why I'm a joykill.
Also if you search youtube for it, you'll see the AI or whatever robots posting the same damn video, screenshot, caption, and slightly different title about 20x in a row. Repetitive content tsunami has arrived, ugh.

My killjoy...
It is manufactured. It absolutely involved photoshop. Yeah the sun is real. The skydiver is real. But it's a composite of at least 2 separate photographs, including the photoshopped removal of the light aircraft that was also in the shot.
Ok rant mostly over. I really dislike it when 2+ photos and "removal" editing is used to create "wow, the best single photo evah!"

The full photo, sorry, mosaic, is really awesome looking, though:

You'll be telling me this is fake next

I think I’ve posted it here before. My one time ever parasailing, 1994 in Puerto Vallarta. My girlfriend at the time took my picture and didn’t realize it but in the frame was a plastic ninja turtle with a parachute on a string that some guy was selling on the beach.

Even if it’s real it doesn’t top the photo of me parasailing in Puerto Vallarta with one of the Ninja Turtles.
