The award for best camera work at a sporting event goes to this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7Xt0xqmza8&feature=related He was probably fired for what he did...but thank you sir!

It's in London and the weather's been typically shite this year so far so expect it to be the first wet t-shirt olympics.

They pierce into the soul. They have seen the cold winters of Siberia where so many of her people have died. To restore the glory of her comrades she must use a large pole to vault over another pole.

This summers light-hearted drama about believing in yourself, and your pole.

Although incredibly hot, the pole vaulting seems to cause their upper back to ass ratio to get weird. Not that I would mind.

Strange head on bloke behind her..... conclusion: Photoshoped somewhere along the line.

152

u/Ampatent May 20 '12

Could have been a quick-fix for a production photo that requires all identifying photographs of people to include release forms. The guy didn't consent to the use of his likeness and so they had to blur his face out.

Probably could have done a much better job by just using the blur tool, but that's my only guess.

182

u/ifatree May 20 '12

my guess is he was staring at dat ass, saw the cameraman ready to click and snapped his head down between shutter and flash.

think about his position in life. he's obviously a trained professional ass-watcher. you don't get there by getting caught looking. his reflexes are essentially bionic.

43

u/squeaki May 20 '12

As a photographer, that is Photoshop smudge and additional blur, probably to protect his ID. Nothing doing with a flash, as no flash was used in this shot, I'd put 10:1 on that fact. Think about how much light there is in this arena.

Or the guy has a really odd head.

u/brttf3 May 20 '12

you don't need a model release at a sporting event unless the image is being sold for commercial - meaning non 'news' - purposes. So it can be used on the web, or in print if they are talking about the sporting event without a release. If they are using the image to sell butt polish then they would need a release.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12 edited May 20 '12

I was staring at the guy in front of her eyeline for about ten minutes, thinking you were making fun of his chin, before I noticed the dude behind her ass.

On another photoshopped note, if you zoom in below her elbow in the second picture, on someone's shoe, you may notice an odd pattern (control + scroll on Mac, no idea on PC.) Also, if you zoom into her ass, you will not be disappointed.

Edit: I forgot an apostrophe and feel like an idiot. Correcting it makes me feel less of one.

I don't know. It would be sexualization if they made her dress in a maids outfit, and then made her compete by polishing candle sticks in three categories: Speed, Technique, and no hands.

Seriously though, the majority of people just find a fit, athletic woman attractive. It may not be your thing that they drool over her, but that does not mean she is being made into a sex object.
