Photo Of The Day

Problem was the bottle cap disintegrated into subatomic particles on impact with the Guinness glass, so they had to do some photo magic to make sure it was a recognizable object.

kinda spoilt it that they potatochopped the pint of guinness.

Give me an example of an advert that have not been manipulated.

Why can't they just post them as images? I turned the shitty music off, but they still managed to ruin every single picture with lame fadeouts and panning shots. What a load of wank.

..do you have a word for Bauarbeiter-Décolleté in the english language?

'Builder's crack'.

Technically that's two words.

Photographer Caleb Charland fashioned a battery using orange wedges by rigging the acidic fruit with copper wires, galvanized nails and placing an LED light in the center. Charland used a 14-hour exposure to capture this beautiful photo of it glowing from within.

Neat

Forgive my ignorance, but why would he require 14 hours to capture that image?

I guess it just made for a shitty battery (really dim light)

would have to be...

Yup, although if he hooked a pickle up to the mains he'd have got a very similar picture.
