Seeing as there is a watermark in the corner i'm 100% certain it has been through photoshop(Or photoshop like program i guess)

Doens't mean it's any less bad ass

thanks for your comment Mazekwon.

proidiots was being sarcastic as I know him and it's a joke between us when something is so obviously not photoshopped. see my rather sarcastic reply back below.

photoshopped to me means that you take something from one environment and stick it in another. unlike this image.

what most people don't understand or simply are ignorant when using the term 'photoshopped' is that when shooting digitally and to get a decent polished, publishable shot you have to use photoshop to bring the image up to a good standard. pre digital, the image would have been dodged and burned and altered in a lab, by hand and with scissors. nothing changes just because it's digital.

the majority of magazine pictures that the kids drool over have been edited, cropped, sharpened, coloured and altered. it's very rare that you get a bang on shot. it does happen, but very rare that it is fit for purpose and not one of a handful of takes.

this image has had it's levels, contrast and brightness adjusted, colours boosted slightly and the highlights slightly lowered (white bike=over exposure). it's also been sharpened as all digital images should be owning to the very nature of their capture.

I'm amazed that when people go to the cinema and watch a hollywood blockbuster they don't blurt out 'that's been through some kind of processing as insert actor here> could never fly/explode/vanish'

Yes. I shot a group of rocks first in Scotland. Then drove 400 miles south to Staffs and erected a green screen. With the help of a crane I suspended Mily in front of the screen and snapped him. Then I stuck the two together after 100000000 hours in front of the Mac.

It's a lot easier than just getting Mily to roll over some local stone and setup the shot in my viewfinder.......

its common knowledge that photos are edited to get the best from them.
