DO you think they went through the trouble to photoshop the SHADOWS on the ground too ??? .......:laughing:
The image is a bit small to be evaluating it in micro detail but the courier company clientelle were magazine publishers, photographers, models, avid editing suites etc etc.
If you were photoshoping it with the big version of photoshop you use the "shaddows" filter to add them automatically.
Manyally you would alredy have the road on a background layer and the mow cart on another so you make a mast of the mower then put it between the background & mower shift it left & back then colour it 20% black and 60% transparent ( 40% opacity actually ) and there is your shadow about 45 seconds for an experienced operator and about 3 or 4 minutes for me.
Kicking around the web is a photoshoped 4 door convertiable RR Silver Shadow I that I did for a friend by dropping the interior of his Corniche onto a standard 4 door saloon.
Corniches were $ 150,000 at the time and saloons were $ 45,000 . He wanted to know how 4 door would look before he committed the $30,000 to the chop shop to cut the roof off some old cars.
He put the image on his web page to test the popularity in order to justify the price.
He ended up going into Jags & Austin Princesses so he abandoned the project but I have seen my image all over the place including in 2 auto magazines & 5 bridal magazines.
Not bad for a car that never existed.
The people at work found dozens of things that were indicators of it being faked but it fooled a lot of magazine editors looking for some page fillers.
It does look cool but it looks wrong to me at the size it appears on the forum.
proportions look all wrong unless the whole thing is a custom build including all of the rear body work.
It could be a real custom rod made to look like a mower, there are more than enough funny car builders out there with the time, skill & energy to whip one up.
