Delusive
April 01, 2006
Earlier this week I posted an image that had me wonder what I had captured. Finally today I went back to that location and took another look. My guess was right, there was no biker it was fake. And as I had guessed he really is smaller than "life size". Click here to see the original shot I took from this artwork by accident!!







Yes, I remember that other shot, this one is even better.
Ahh! I am glad you went back to see. Cool shot.
Pretty darn cool nonetheless. In fact, I really like this image and your color treatment.
that's what i love about photography. it gets you curioused. many times i have gone back to places that i have photographe just so that i check things that i did not notice the first time. looking at the origianl photograph, it looks like a highway. i hope you didn't pull over to take that photo because if so, you are totally nuts ;)
I was also amazed by this cycler hopping on the bridge ;) now I know what's it all about! :) GREAT ONE! (or rather two) :)
i like the bluish colour tone.

Oh, so that was not ET !!
Right on! Thanks for this shot. I was wondering about that other photo. Of course, it never crossed my mind that it could even BE fake. BTW - nice framing here.
I told you :)
Nice effect on the rider, I guess you added that one ;)
Nice and calm tone in this picture.
Too funny! Cool shot!
This is too cool that we get to see the mystery solved! Love the bonus effect.
Thank you everyone, I was glad to solve this too.
armeen: I am not that nuts yet, there was a parking 2 minutes from this sign and I walked back in the bike path. I have driven by that sign many times but never noticed it. It's one of those things that you don't notice unless you are looking for it.
Ashish: sorry to disappoint you : )
thukai: I gave it a little motion since it's been frozen to that position for a while now : )
Thanks,

One question remains - is the sign *advertising anything* or is it just there for the craic?
Take it easy :-)
Great shot.
David: That's a bike path I believe someone put that up there as an artwork. I didn't see any signed names, but I am sure teenagers either did it or spend some money to get it done.
aaron: Thanks.
Hi Noush.
This one works really well. It looks very surreal. Especially with the motin blur.
