Found this image on flickr, it was originally taken by user called mrettig. This one really bugs me! How was it done? Is it some anti gravity spot just like “Mystery Spot” was? Or is it some cheap, low-life trick you can do by taking photo with camera that isn’t horizontally ligned with floor? I for one, seriously don’t know.

I Think they are on a hill thats my explanation
the dude is standing on a hill. im vaguelly amused.
i think he is about to fall over and they got a picture of it before he fainted.
ThatBozGuy was right about the freeway bridge. Yes, take into account all the trees in the background. If you were to draw an imaginary line through the guy and the fence post, they are perpendicular–or darn near. Overtime fences tend to lean due to gravity. As for the guys legs? Well, he is supporting his weight on his left leg and the right is bend. The position of the pov does not allow you to plainly see this. Look at the plane of his left side: straight, right? Look at the right. A slight bow to the plane. The black bag on his right hip and his arms across the front does not allow you to see the angle of his pant’s waistband showing this.
Some may agree, some may not. That is my pov of the picture and my logic. Anyway, good illusion thanks to the photographer.
hes lining on a wier next to his head
PHOTO SHOPPED! NO lol
maybe he isnt a real persoN!
HAve u been to the wax museum lately?
Lol
As a previous poster said, the trees are all on a diagonal in this picture. Trees generally grow vertically. True, some grow on a diagonal, but all of them at once? not likely. The fence is parallel to the trees, so that must be vertical as well. And, as another poster pointed out, the guy is supporting his weight as if he is on a hill.
Definitely camera on an angle trick.
He is really leaning, but he is not going to fall over. Everyone has something called the center of gravity (or the center of mass) which is the middle of the person’s body (around the belly button area). When a person leans over or bends over this middle part should fall in between the feet or the base of the person to be stable. The only way he is leaning without falling is if he physically pushes his center of gravity backwards to where it is outside of his body and it falls in between his feet. Michael Jackson has demonstrated this by rotating on his feet and leaning over really far. Just look up some of his dance moves to understand, but this is really all plain physics.
yeahh his on a hill you can tell from the trees
I think the floor may be slanting, the trees in the background is slanting too. i’ve seen this before i’ve even tryed it myself! it is not hard but it feels really weird!
