    Now you guys gonna get a good laugh over this. rolleyes1.gif

    Got my TinEye account activated and of course one of the first things to try was to see if Sid's image actually pops up anywhere..mwink.gif
    Guess what? Found 3 copies/mods! deal.gif
    Sid, if you want links - let me know I'll email them to you.
    And for everybody else - get the TinEye, it's a pure magic! thumb.gif

    I thought I saw him in a movie. Oh, wait, I'm confused. It wasn't Sid. It was his piccie that was in the movie.

    I got to page 21 and had to jump to the end. The bleeding was uncotrollable and I think I busted my gut. Careful where you step, it's messy here.


    Oh, Sid, you've got to have one heck of a sense of humor. At least by now you should. :D

    The image appears at the 1hr: 07min 40-44 second mark in the film. Got a screenshot for you, uploading now.

    I also looked at the credits, they credit the still photos to many, many people. If that is your shot it's also possible someone else gave them permission and passed it off as thier own.

    Edit: Here is the image:
    1978874#137987712-L-LBhttp://differentseed.smugmug.com/gallery/1978874/1/137987712#137987712

    If you compare the alledged original with the capture you can clearly see it's taken from a different perspective:
    2553067-M.jpg

    Other differences are:
    • Other windows in the buildings are lit.
    • Look at the rightmost roadsign. It's occluded in the screen capture, it's clearly visible in the photo.
    • The glare from the road lamps is different.
    • The photographer of the photo in the film stood a lot more to the left and farther away.

    You don't have to be an expert to see that those are different photos.

    I was recently watching a movie called "An Inconvenient Truth", and I saw an awesome image of a city skyline and highway.
    I wonder how much money the photog was paid for that image?? Anyone?
