So this is how high-rollin’ Canon photographers roll. This coffee table is much easier to do now with those Canon lens coffee mugs, but the 1D bodies would still cost a pretty penny.

A while back we shared a video in a post titled “The Cliche of Enhancing Images in Movies” that compiled clips from movies and TV shows in which “photo experts” did absurd and impossible “enhancements” to photos and videos in order to solve mysteries. The above clip from British sitcom Red Dwarf pokes fun at this cliche, and takes it to the extreme. Enjoy.

Here’s a funny twist on the popular “most interesting man in the world” beer commercials by Dos Equis — Luc Welch over in the photo.net forums has posted some facts about “the most interesting photographer in the world“:

He’s photographed lions… from the inside

He built his first camera when he was five… out of a toaster
His portfolio has been known to stop wars
He photographed a sunset once… it waited for him
His list of clients include Bigfoot, Santa Claus, and those little grey aliens

He is… the most interesting photographer in the world…

“I don’t always shoot film, but when I do… I prefer Dos Chromas. Keep shooting, my friends.“

If you’ve never seen these commercials before, you can go check them out on YouTube.

Garrett Murray over at Maniacal Rage has a funny project called CS4 Crash Reports. He comes up with the strangest things to send to Adobe when his Photoshop CS4 crashes and asks him to describe the problem that occurred.

Here’s another gem:

I’ve never had a problem with CS4 crashing on me, but Firefox and Cyberduck do plenty of that.

Last week the web was abuzz with excitement over a demo Adobe created for their upcoming “Content Aware Fill” feature. Well, it didn’t take long for parody videos to spring up, mocking how easily Photoshop will soon be able to completely create new “realities”. The above video is one such parody, ending with this gem:

There you go. A wonderful tool, and Adobe Photoshop again proving that everything you see is probably a lie.

Reminds me of the PhotoSketch technology that we covered last year.
