Cool Picture Of The Day

[HardOCP News]

I am not going to explain the picture below, I want you to give it your best guess…then hit this link for the answer. Hint, it is real, not Photoshopped.

 

[football76]

i don't see anything.

 

[Nemesis999]

Well, that's massively excessive. Just have a motor on the screen spinning an object and shining a light.

Might as well be Photoshopped. I can do that too with a long exposure time.

 

[Zerikin Loukbel]

While being "real" to say it is not photo shopped is very misleading. Multiple photos and time delay are the hardware equivalent IMO.

 

[kuyaglen]

I can do that too with a long exposure time.

So can I!

 

[Monkey34]

I knew it was a spinning light-source right away, I just didn't know the details.

 

[SelousSizzle]

I'd call Bethesda Game Studios and tell them you were having a marathon gaming session while playing Oblivion and an Oblivion gate seems to have opened around your laptop. Send them pictures and ask them how to close it.

 

[Chombo]

He is playing Halo.

 

[Fuzzy Logik]

Liberace Gay

 

[Youn]

Is he having trouble logging in?

 

[stevedave]

you guys are all stupid that is obviously a halo from god around his computer.

 

[ZenDragon]

While its definately a cool effect... I fail to see the signifigance of using the laptop in the picture. Would have been cooler if he had it floating around his head or something more sinister. I dunno.

" The photo above shows a golden ring of 60,000 volt sparks around my laptop."

woulda been cooler if you put your hand in it.. well at least it woulda been more of a show

a lot of photographers find it a challenge to do non-Photoshopped images. Many of us question as to why he bothered to do it. Mainly because he could and is not too far off from someone putting a computer in a vat of oil just to see if it will still work.

Sometimes logic doesn't have to dictate why someone does something.

 

[MooCow]

He should move is face forward and see what happens.

I thought it was just a twirly LED he attached to the top of his screen... in reality was much more convoluted, dangerous and pointless... not something that after I read the explanation, I'd say... "that's cool", but I thought "boy that was senseless, I'd rather see if the computer would 'blend' ".

I guess it did get him on the front page of an uber-geeky website... so he *did* get his moment in geekdom.

 

[ajadoniz]

it is the sprint commercial!

 

[rabident]

He didn't hear about the Sony battery recall.

 

[Crotan]

While its definately a cool effect... I fail to see the signifigance of using the laptop in the picture. Would have been cooler if he had it floating around his head or something more sinister. I dunno.

He did stuff like that too, the guy has boatloads of suff on his website

and for your sinister needs

 

[MooCow]

Too bad his face doesn't look cool

 

[Raxiel]

you guys are all stupid that is obviously a halo from god around his computer.

But it wasn't a Mac?

 

[Silentbob343]

long exposure+light source=cool pics

 

[LoneWolf]

I'm guessing that someone's P4 3.06 (non-mobile)-based laptop just folded one too many cycles.

Just read the answer. Guess I can't be right every time.

 

[matrix563]

neat

 

[FlatLine84]

This is what too much time, and a hobby like high voltage power supplies will get you....

 

[devolutionist]

I thought this was going to be something way cooler, like maybe dancing 3dstudio max babies, or maybe a cat meowing "i love you". Instead we get this time lapse photo that sux donkey teats. Most disappointed... it'll be a long time before I'm baited with "Cool Picture of the Day" again.
