| THIS PHOTO IS AUTHENTIC, unfortunately........Actually folks, I'd say that picure is authentic.
1. There was a flash in this photo. His arm casts a shadow on the wall, however, this shadow is at the base of the wall. The heli, which is physically below his arm, is going to cast a shadow on the floor. It does. Moreover, notice this very shadow underneath the heli? It is oriented upright, same as the heli...proving that it's a shadow from the flash, not the helis reflection on the floor (which would be upside down).
2. The actual reflection takes place a few feet from the side-line of the court, i.e. toward us, on the hardwood flooring. You can see a diffuse lighter area on the hardwood about 1" to the left of the moron's right foot, just inside the 3-point line. This is clearly the reflection of the T-Rex's white canopy. It's so diffuse because the heli is a couple feet off the ground.
3. Finally, getting back to the shadows: Notice that the shadow of the T-Rex on the floor and the shadow of the moron's arm on the wall are of the same proportions as the actual object's themselves. This is proof. Furthermore, the shadow of the T-rex and the shadow of the moron's arm/finger meet just below the wall in the photo. Given the rest of the things I mentioned, that means his finger and the T-Rex rotor are touching.
I hate to say it, folks, but this picture is authentic. |
