Amazing photo

[Warthog]

I took this photo in Italy. A beer at the next AR to whoever can tell me what is so amazing about it? :)

[FlyinCustard]

is it raining on one side sunny the other?

[RichT]

wet ground yet no clouds... and it looks quite late in the day to me.... eclipse?

[scottjames]

it looks like its got two light sources, one top left and one on the right side of the trees on the right ?? ?

[arcdef]

Surely it cant be that easy?

[_Stretchie_]

You had the lense cap on?

[Spiderman]

all the above?

I know i like it.

[Graciepants]

i like the raindrops on the edge of the table :D

[FG1]

Is it taken during sunset and the sun is lower than the appartment it was taken from ?

[lukemillar]

I'd say it is actually a backdrop. Beyond the two chairs and table is a large image of the garden rather than an actual garden

[Spiderman]

Wait i got it!

You took it with nothing more than your photographic memory?

[L3nny]

Is it actually nightime and the light is coming from lightning?

[BanannaMan]

The wall on the left is a Roman cistern (castella), part of the great Roman Aqueducts water system.
This appears to have been one of the public fountains, although possibly could have been a bath.

Apparently still in use??? (of sorts)
There's pipes coming from it!

[Dave20046]

You managed to get the table to sit still for a photograph?

[Scoobs]

It was the only non-blurry one on your whole camera?

[madness]

A german hasn't claimed the sunbed yet?

[FlyinCustard]

A german hasn't claimed the sunbed yet?

:p

[plowsie]

You used a camera?

I'm guessing, it is something like, your in the rain, but behind to the right the Sun is out below you hence sun on building to right...

[CheGuevara]

Light source is the moon?

[plowsie]

The sun is from the eye of a storm?

[hovis]

is it not a photo, but a drawing you did with your bestest crayons?

[the_lone_wolf]

There was a beautiful Italian woman sunbathing naked behind you but you were more interested in taking photos of garden furniture?

[maviczap]

Where you stayed was one of the places featured on one of those C4 docu soaps, 'wish you were here or a 'A place in the sun' or sumat loike dat?

[Scoobs]

Come on then 'hoggers. This is getting tedious now.

[ophic]

no bl**dy italians? :p

[pookie]

its taken indoors?

[hovis]

Come on then 'hoggers. This is getting tedious now.

indeed

[Richie]

yes both correct.
also the time and date on your camera needs adjusting...

[plowsie]

Ahh yeah, the sources of light are lights.

Very clever.

[Spiderman]

right, if the Warty one dont tell us by tonight can we ban him for life please for keeping us all in suspenders.

We need answers dammit!!!!

Oh richie, you moved it ;)

[joshmac]

Is that not the answer Zig? The fact that it was taken in near darkness with no flash (not that that would've been effective for this shot).
Would be very impressed if he wasn't resting the camera on something though :lol:... it'd blur the shot with the slightest movement when using such a slow shutter speed and long exposure.

Of course I am no expert and could be chatting a load of the brown smelly stuff lol

[Spiderman]

Probably but we need CONCLUSIVE answers dammit. I think my brain may explolde soon if i dont have a definitve answer :lol:

Obssesed? Me?

[joshmac]

Zig...


























































































Just chill ;):lol:

[Spiderman]

:smt073

[RichT]

I took this photo in Italy. A beer at the next AR to whoever can tell me what is so amazing about it? :)

Nothing - simples.

[joshmac]

Nothing - simples.
That'll be so depressing if it is :lol:

[Richie]

Oh richie, you moved it ;)

Correct, has any one else spotted it?

[joshmac]

Stopped or spotted? lol stopped what?

[Richie]

Stopped or spotted? lol stopped what?
Cheers for the correction.

[Spiderman]

your skillz are too much for the heathens richie :)

[hovis]

i is bored of this fred now

[Spiderman]

now who the hell is Fred. We need answers!

Is he fitter than Tracey
Does he know how to talk dirty properly, unlike Tracey?

[plowsie]

Tracey deffo got game. I'm a fan of Michael, I see myself as a role model to him...

[hovis]

I'm a fan of Michael,...thanks


I see myself as a role model to him...

lol, you wish

:thumright:

[Bibio]

its an eclipse

[FlyinCustard]

is it something to do with the strange green rectangle below the table and above the sunbeds in the far distance (to the right)?

[BomBalong]

is it a HDR photo?

[Richie]

there are no shadows only reflections, and it was taken with an ExposureTime of 15.00 Seconds.

the light in the sky is the moon, probably behind the rain cloud. and the lights on the ground behind the tress are flood lights.

[ophic]

[Richie]

ok. So what about the amazing bit?

Don't tell you can't see the invisable man naked moon rain bathing on that sun lounger...

come on, it's as clear as the nose on your face. :wink:

[davepreston]

it was taken by a 3 year old ?

[Warthog]

Holy moly! Sorry gang, I had an entire day of project meetings and only just got back on the forum!! I will read all the replies and post shortly :)

[Dave20046]

Holy moly! Sorry gang, I had an entire day of project meetings and only just got back on the forum!! I will read all the replies and post shortly :)
Is it to do with the hook, line and the sinker in the background?

[MrTom]

The side of the sunlounger sort of spells out "SV"

[Warthog]

Right, just read all the posts. Firstly, big apologies to everyone who had to wait, I didn't think there would be this much interest haha :-P
Apart form to Hovis, you need to learn some patience my friend ;).

Winner is:

Is it actually nightime and the light is coming from lightning?

The picture was taken at midnight in the pitch black! A huge lightning storm had just hit and there was almost continuous lightning happening all around the clouds, nothing was touching down. As Mr superb detective Richie found out, I stuck on a long shutter speed which as you know at night normally comes out black with some lights lit up, and it came out looking like complete day!

[L3nny]

Wooooooooooooo Hooooooooooo

I am the winningest :D

[Warthog]

Here is a youtube of the lighting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBf3dzERwyc

[Warthog]

Wooooooooooooo Hooooooooooo

I am the winningest :D

Now you have to come to AR10 to get a beer though :-P

[Warthog]

Here are a few stills of it:

Whoa! I thought you meant the gargoyle-type face at the top end of the lilo... :shock:
I'm seeing faces all over it now. I think i'm developing "stone-wall-in-a-lightning-storm phobia". Now I bet there's no official name for that one!

Put an Italian in there for full effect...:geek:

[Warthog]

Does it count that when I see Richies face I poo myself?

[Richie]

Does it count that when I see Richie's face I Pooh myself?

All depends on When & Where you see me....
