Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
If you’ve only got one job to do then you’d better do it, no matter what obstacles get in your way. Like 20 odd runners for example. This cameraman at the World Athletics Championships was so engrossed in the event he was filming that he didn’t notice that he’d wandered onto the main running track.
Spectators watched open-mouthed as the oblivious cameraman stood on the track, back to the oncoming runners. As the gap closed, witnesses could only watch helpless wondering what was going to happen.
Funny Photoshop fails are something that always makes me giggle. This time, Khloé Kardashian has one that’s downright bizarre. In a photo she recently posted on Instagram, her fans noticed that her legs seem freakishly long (again). But what drew even more attention is a chubby extra toe that somehow ended up on her right foot.
Faking news and doctoring images is easier than ever nowadays, but sadly, it’s not reserved for “light” stuff that people share on Instagram. Fox News was recently accused of reporting fake news, and they got busted thanks to badly photoshopped images. And I mean really badly!
Poor Photoshop and CGI work may be called “a fail,” but hey, at least it never fails to make us laugh. Disney recently came under fire over a lame CGI work they did in Splash. The 1984 movie can be streamed on Disney+, but it comes with a terrible cover-up of Daryl Hannah’s butt.
Pinterest is the place where many brides-to-be search for inspiration. So, when Alyssa Snodsmith saw a cute couple photo, she wanted to recreate it with her fiancé during their engagement shoot. However, it didn’t really go as planned. Their efforts were totally messed up, but photographer Chandler Lefever was quick enough to capture the hilarious fail. The resulting photos quickly went viral, and they gave all of us at DIYP a good giggle.
The interim president of Kazakhstan Qasym-Zhomart Toqaev has been in the center of a recent Photoshop fail. In his official images, the leader’s face has been so obviously beauty-retouched, that they look like he applied beauty filters for Instagram. And as an assumption goes, it’s all done to make him look as a younger and as a “fresh face.”
You might remember the Yashica digiFilm Y35 fiasco which left the camera backers angry and disappointed. This camera raised nearly $1.3 million on Kickstarter, but it apparently never delivered what the users expected. Not even close.
But, despite the bad reviews, Chris and Jordan of DPReview decided to give it a go. They gave this little toy camera a spin, trying it out in different settings and with different “digital film rolls.” Is it really that bad? Well, not entirely, as it turned out.
Swedish-born Instagram star Johanna Emma Olsson recently posted photos from her glamorous trip to Paris, posing in front of some iconic locations. But it didn’t take long for her followers to figure out that something is fishy. At a closer look, it’s easy to see that the photos are fake. So, the Instagrammer got bashed by her fans and of course, the whole case got viral.
We’ve seen plenty of Photoshop fails in promotional posters or magazines (and this is my absolute favorite). The latest fail has been spotted in promotional pictures for The Apprentice, where fans noticed that some contestants look like they have three hands. Of course, people were quick to joke about it on social media. But BBC claims that it’s not a Photoshop fail, but that a “lightning illusion” is to blame.
In a Polish discount supermarket Biedronka someone recently noticed this stock photography fail. The store sells a line of hand mixers that come in a box with a huge Shutterstock logo over the image. Apparently, someone didn’t care too much to buy and use a stock photo properly.
