Ceci n'est pas Photoshop

The title of the picture is maybe the funniest I've seen for a while, based as it is on Magritte.

The original image may be seen here. My suspicion is the auto-focus got fooled by the apple, leaving the background softly blurry.

Are you taking these photos? If so I am impressed! You have a great eye!

DIY

The picture of the woman tossing the apple is the first one not by me. Flickr includes a "Blog This" button next to any given image (In some ways, you can think of Flickr as a visual LJ). But the other images this week -- the ljusgloben, the sidewalk, and Bryan and Johnny -- are all by me.

Thanks for your kind words.

Guideline

[hal-obrien.livejournal.com]

Here's a good guideline: If a picture says, "Originally uploaded by halobrien" under it, it will be either taken or scanned by me. (I mention "scanned" because I have some old pictures of my family I'll probably be uploading soon, for example, in a continuation of this series.)

If it says, "Originally uploaded by {someone else}," it's something I found at Flickr I want to talk about.

Do you think that lady in the photo just throw the apple, and just snap shots of that blink moment? She looks very much in peace to be throwing than just have it drop infront of her. Does it make sense?
