Because the shadows don't seem to be that long in between.

That you took pictures for each single one and cutted just the owls out to paste them into the exact same place is obvious.

When I was working on the roof top one, I noticed that the shadow of the structure with the owl on the top had lengthened around 8 or 9 nine inches by the time I took the last shot. The shadow in the final piece is the shadow from the first pic I took.

[Reply #441 on:]

Yes, I thought about something along that.

I guess the first picture was when the owl stood on top of that wooden fence panel. At least I think so, because that shadow seems to be there.

It was a hell lot of cut&paste work wasn't it?
Especially because you had to cut out the owls as close to their body as possible, so that you won't be confronted with overlapping. Also you seem to be lucky with the sunlight, wich didn't change and so the shadows managed to stay within the same brightness.
I envy your NYC weather. We got rain, heavy rain!

Quit ruining the illusion, Mario!  This game is the greatest thing ever.

[Reply #443 on:]

Ok, ok. I'll stopp. I have to agree that it is a great illusion!

The owl on top of the structure was not  the first shot.
The owls had different length shadows depending on the direction they were facing.
The Slurm can never moved once.
It got very hot and didn't explode.
Some robot showed up and tried to make off with the Slurm.
I'm working on another one shot in the courtyard of my building.

One of the hazards of living near a giant robot factory.

Each blade of grass was shot seperately and Photoshopped into the background.
 

[Reply #447 on:]

Cool!

[Reply #448 on:]

Wait you got me confused. Is the owl and the can and the back pack real? If so you should of just took the picture infront of a grassy area so you didnt have to do all that work!

[Reply #449 on:]

Confusion is my middle name.
What is really real and what is not, is for me to know
and confuse you with.

Are you DaveMason?

I don't know whether to root for the owls or the slurm can.  I guess the can has the underdog angle.  Plus I have one just like it.

[Reply #452 on:]

Okay, that's just awesome!

I have another unopened one which I plan on giving away somehow at Nasty's BBQ.
Maybe I'll give it to the best Bender or Professor impersonation. Or something.

That was so great!!! Wow! Is the roof top one were you live? If so you have a really nice view of New York.

Keep it up. 

[Reply #455 on:]

Yeah, that's the roof of my building.
This is from my window.

[Reply #456 on:]

Nice sunset!
But I prefer the view from your roof top.

You should have taken a panoramic shot of the scenic BQE right under your window.  It's much prettier than some sunset.

Like this?

If you look very closely at the white van just right of center, you can almost make out the bumper sticker that says, "don't laugh; your daughter could be in here."

Raoul with two ears always bugs me.  Your picture is awesome, of course, as they all are, and I don't want my inane ranting to detract from them, but I never liked that second ear.  It ruined a good joke.

[Reply #461 on:]

Maybe if they had put that second ear on his third elbow...

The Good Book Three Point Oh

I bot religion!

[Reply #463 on:]

That one is unbelievable Cap'n. Nice.

[Reply #464 on:]

Something tells me that TheVoices and FemJesse are gonna be fighting for their titles of "Best Futurama Artist PEELie", cause you're stuff is just so damn good.

[Reply #465 on:]

Those guys are terribly good at what they do.
And the three of us do things so differently,
it would, in fact, be a very tough call.

[Reply #466 on:]

Wow, the Good Book 3.0 is really cool looking with its green Robotoligy sign.

But wasn't originally saved on some digitally media? A 3.5 inch floppy disk. 

Got to agree with Nasty here, you are really giving Jesse and Tom some hard competition.

[Reply #467 on:]

But the best fan artist is clearly ultra.porn.

It's amazing how similar childlike innocence is to nightmarish hallucinations.

With the exception of the Robot Devil background, all the photos were taken by me.
The Robot Devil background is two seperate photos I found online.
I've got a new version of the same Robot Devil pose, but with a photo of the statue of Andromeda I took at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I've been debating with myself for a few weeks now, whether or not I want to post it.
