Maybe because they're the ones who shot the helicopter down?

ZenGum 09-08-2012 07:36 PM

Incredible picture. Modern cameras are sooo fast.

I think the reactions are more of the holycrapdangerwhatshouldIdo?! than hahaisn'tthatfunny!

That was quite awhile ago, I think I read at the time the people had cleared off the open ground in the park so the helicopter could land... some dignitary or something.
It's very early in the crash so they haven't had time to react, they're still in wtf mode. It's not like the thing fell out of the sky, it was landing and clipped something causing it to tip over.

The guy with the camera was probably taking a picture(s) of the landing so everything was set, but yes they are very fast now. Here's an example.

Elspode 09-09-2012 12:57 AM

That'll probably buff out.

Sundae 09-10-2012 10:48 AM

Re helicopter crash, given what Bruce has said I applaud the man with child. With the small amount of reaction time he had, he immediately turned away and shielded the boy. Good on you Dad.

Re the chap levitating over the yellow lines, ouch. That's gonna smart. Might want to think about buying a pair of leathers if you ever ride again.

This is brilliance.

Take a photo of your clean, empty sink.

Print the photo.

Place photo on top of dirty dishes.

And there was much rejoicing.

But since the secret to flying is to throw yourself at the ground, and miss, learning how to fall well will make it harder to do it wrong!

Is all that stuff flying out of the guardrail just loose gravel from the side of the road, or was the helmeted dude riding a coal car down the highway?

I left this pic bigger so you could actually see some of these signs. So many WTF signs, I hardly know where to start.

Some of the standouts:

'God Hates Jedi'
'God Hates PORGs'
Bender w/'Kill All Humans'
An apparent Dwellar w/'Fuck God'
'Is This Thing On?'

I saw this sign a lot along the Yarra River boardwalk in Melbourne. So I wondered what it meant.

No more then 10 people with no feet may hover over bicycles

Actually I think it means to watch your speed as it is a shared path but you would never know as the bicycle riders never went slower then 30 kmh.

Happy Monkey 09-20-2012 02:49 PM

You may not hover more than 10 feet over a bicycle.
You may not travel more than 10 feet on a bicycle while standing backwards on it with one foot on the seat and the other on the handlebars, while wearing white shoes.
10 points if both you and the bicycle both land in the circle when dropped from a helicopter.
Next 10 feet: Only bicyclists and moonwalkers.

Blue mouse & bokeh.

Attachment 40819

Gravdigr 09-26-2012 01:13 PM

Upon second inspection, that may be a rat.

Gravdigr 09-26-2012 01:14 PM

I think it's a rat.

xoxoxoBruce 09-26-2012 01:27 PM

Bokeh? Had to Google that. Thanks. :thumb:

Sundae 09-26-2012 01:29 PM

Me too. I thought bokeh must be a type of bench.

I previously would have called it "something in the foreground that so takes my interest that I don't notice that the rest of the photo is blurry"

I'ma call it bokeh too, now.

footfootfoot 09-26-2012 01:30 PM

Rat, White and Blue

Cyber Wolf 09-26-2012 05:29 PM

That is definitely a rat. Mouse ears are rounder and larger compared to the head than a rat's ears.

ok, but how are you going to pronounce it? like bouquet? or Boca?

Sundae 09-28-2012 03:40 PM

BO-ka
(which might be how you pronounce Boca, but that's another word I don't know)

jimhelm 09-28-2012 05:03 PM

Boca Raton Fl

It's a Japanese word, so I'd guess Bo-keh, like meh?

Elspode 09-28-2012 08:42 PM

It's Bow-Kah. Spanish for "mouth". Yes, the city is named "Rat Mouth" in Spanish.

xoxoxoBruce 09-29-2012 08:30 AM

According to Wiki, usually BOH-kay, or sometimes BOH-kə, but I still don't know how to pronounce a rotated e.

interesting read

Quote:

I first learned about "bo-ke" or boke in 1995, from Carl Weese, who learned about it from our mutual friend the oracular and extreme Oren Grad, who holds eight Master's degrees, three Ph.D.s, and an M.D., and who evidently taught himself Japanese so he could read Japanese photo magazines. (Perhaps I exaggerate these facts, but only slightly.) I then commissioned and published three articles about it in the March/April 1997 issue of Photo Techniques back when I was editor — one each by John Kennerdell, who is an American ex-pat living in Bangkok, Oren himself, and Harold Merklinger, a high-ranking research scientist in the Canadian defense establishment. It's one of the few issues of that magazine that sold out. My own contribution was...er, a letter. I decided that people too readily mispronounced "boke," so I added an "h" to the word in our articles, and voilá, "bokeh" was born. A Google search for the word "bokeh" just now resulted in approximately 13,300 hits. Seems the idea's gotten around.

Actually, to be precise, what I had noticed was not just that people mispronounced the word as it was commonly spelled, but that they had a tendency to ridicule it, making lame jokes about it as if it rhymed with "smoke" or "toke" or "joke." Actually, even spelled boke, it is properly pronounced with bo as in bone and ke as in Kenneth, with equal stress on either syllable. It is a Japanese word meaning, roughly, "fuzzy," and it is used to describe old people with cobwebs in their heads among several other things — including the out-of-focus areas of photographs, which, I'm told, might more specifically be referred to as "boke-aji."

Commits the fallacy of composition though.

A physicist is a carefully arranged bunch of atoms trying to understand atoms.

Which is still pretty mind blowing.

Shouldn't that read "Entering Vehicle Out of Control Zone"?

What a moment, and what a picture to catch it.

One of the most important skills in life is being able to recognise those very rare moments when it suddenly becomes absolutely necessary to pull the big red emergency handle NOW!
