Stolen from the internet

Just when you get comfortable with churning out mediocre photos you see something that takes your breath away. Kerry got these photos on one of those Fwd: emails. I wish I knew who took them.

    It wasn’t me, if that helps to narrow it down.

    Awesome shots, though.

    The UFO pic is a classic. Classic I say.

    I had to look a couple of times to get the UFO pic. Great shots!

    A lot of these are photo-shopped though aren’t they?? I’m one of those gullible types who thinks everything is real though. Does that make me a bad person?

    Whit – Damn, you were top of my list of suspects too.

    Kevin – It’s simple and clever, that’s what I love about it.

    Ed – Worth the second look though.

    Gail – I don’t know if the first one is photoshopped, but the second one probably is. I don’t think it takes anything away from the artistic integrity however, the photos aren’t claiming to be documentary. Photoshop, like a camera, is just a tool for the artist.

    The first one looks almost like a painting… I’m no even sure the kid is real. Great images though.

    Rol – Now you come to mention it, it does look a bit painted. The image is too low resolution to say for definite.

    I agree with Rol, that first image looks a bit Banksy to moi. No bad thing though, great images.

    They are magic.

    Simple and magic.

    I think they are both genuine though too.

    Dan have just tagged you for a photo meme – I know you don’t normally do this stuff but I enjoyed doing it just because I didn’t know you could do it with Flickr.

    As long as it doesn’t take you away from your training – although with this weather I’d stay in with Flickr!

    SingleParentDad – Yes, it doesn’t matter how they were made, just that they were made

    Xbox – I dunno, I’m really starting to think that first one is painted

    Gail – I do memes. I just tend to do them in one big lump in a meme week. I’ll add this one to my folder.

    Avitable – I love them too obviously, but they do make me a little jealous of other people’s creativity.

    I think they’re gorgeous, however they were made. I love this sort of thing though – easily pleased – that’s me!
