This one is also not done by digital modification. Either way, probably easy to guess the trick anyway – [via].

    only the entire candle and its shadow were strategically painted on the wall, and the lighting was set up to look like its from the candle.
    but if it realy was a candle, wouldnt the wall behind it be brighter in the spot where the flame is?
    yea.
    its obvious when youve seen stuff like this alot.

    it is so easy you take a picture of the candle on the floor then u take a picture of the magazine & the telephone then open paint rotate the picture of the candle nd add the other picture

    #51 nailed it. Whole thing is a painting.

    The candle ain’t glued. If it was, the flame would be sideways.

    Hey Volken There Is Light/Shadow From The Candle!

    The flame should be going up, and if you look at the the shadow, there is no shadow for the flame. I think the candle is glued but the flame is p’shopped

    think think think….. could this have been photoshopped? imagine, they take the picture of the carpet and other things, and then they take the candle add it and you get this (i think) or i dont know something happened and gravity took a vacation? :) haha love ur site sorry this is a little too long =] be happy!

    easy.there is a thing called glue….

    Let’s assume no cheating occurred and nail down some certainties. The orientation of the candle flame indicates the candle is definitely sitting on the “floor”. The candle’s sharp shadow verifies that a single remote light source is illuminating the scene from slightly above the candle (shadow is shorter than the candle) and very close to the scene (shadow is wider than the candle). The light source is bright enough to mask the candle flame and any shadow it may create. So the only mystery is what’s holding the phone and magazine to the wall? Simple! In today’s digital age, corded phones and magazines suck! Du-uH!!

    Gravity is technically a phenonemally potential force which can be defied with certain forces such as the complicated system of DGP. The X corner of the gravitional pull converts an extreme matter of sinistra gravity, whereas the Y corner of the otherwise known as gravitional pull converts an extreme matter of destra gravity. Equalling these out, if a hand-made store magnet is constructed or purchased, these can defy gravity if chosen precisely and carefully.

    I’m not kidding. Ask the smartest scientist you know.

    Ashley, ( #11) if the candle was glued to the wall, the flame would go up. It always would, even if you held it upside down…. except something bad would probably happen… but if the phone and magazine were on the wall, by use of glue( you can not stop the ultimate power!!!!) and the candle was on the floor it would look that way… or this is a real good Photo Shop artist…. :D

  13. The candles stuck to the wall, right?

    my physics teacher did a photo like this resently. i helped him a little. the candle is indeed sitting on the floor. no glue was used for the phone. if the phone was on the wall the cord would hang to the right in the photo.
    I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to figure it out with the info i have given you. ITS SO SIMPLE!!

  15. Angel says:

    the shadow is all wrong cuz there’s no flame!

  16. robert says:

    the candle is on the floor and the fone and mag is gluded to the wall

  17. Andy says:

    The camera is obviously turned because if it wasn’t, the candle fire would be flaming up, not sideways.
