    huh, it’s a beach shade, not a tent. it’s supposed to look like that.

    • Erwan

      yes indeed. It’s a photoshop disaster fail.

      • Paolo

        A torch is floating

          It’s amazing how nothing fits nothing in this photo – light sources, shadows, proportions, nothing. That must a new art trend…”disastrism”.

    • Mark Hodson

      Yeah it’s a beach shade that causes the horizon to sink too. Very clever

      • http://www.facebook.com/gormster Morgan Harris

        this.

      • Waldobaby

        “it’s a beach shade that causes the horizon to sink too”

        Copy the pic. Draw a line with some sort of straight line tool. Use MacPaint. It’s straight.

      If it is a beach shade, what part of the tent would they actually shade under? It looks like it offer minimal protection from the sun. And secondly, why do they need a sun shade at night?

    • cycles

      The Multimat in the photograph is supposed to keep sand from getting everywhere. A sun shade would go on top of the mat (because a sun shade doesn’t have a floor). A tent would go beside the mat, as in the photo, because a tent has a floor.

      Last sentence, first paragraph: “The result – a clean area to plonk your chair on or spread in front of your tent to help keep sand at bay.”

      It’s supposed to be a tent.

        @cycles said: “Last sentence, first paragraph: “The result – a clean area to plonk your chair on or spread in front of your tent to help keep sand at bay.”

        See? I told them that blogger’s comments were iron clad guarantees of what’s going down! They’d be trusted more if they were posted in German, though…

  • Andres

    Maybe the tent/shade has a thick pane of glass at the rear end and it refracts light?

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_37SPQ6YRIFMP4TLVYAMKUMYP6U Gabriel

    Can’t see any disaster either.

    • http://www.facebook.com/gormster Morgan Harris

      horizon, dude.

      • Janichsan

        Nope. The sea is on the same height on both sides. What you see is an illusion caused by the island, which makes the horizon on the left appear higher than it actually is.

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_37SPQ6YRIFMP4TLVYAMKUMYP6U Gabriel

        If the horizon is tilted, then it’s a photographer’s disaster, not a PsD.
        TBH, most non-photographers do not notice tilted horizons.

        • Kargathia

          Non-photographers realise that an image with a tilted horizon where it shouldn’t be looks messy.
          Photographers know why it looks messy.

    • http://www.facebook.com/gabi.garcez Gabriela Garcez

      Perhaps the floating torch? The fact that the sun is setting behind them and their shadows are pointing the same direction? Or that the wind is blowing, yet the flames remain straight?
      Nope, no disaster! Totally normal!

  • m.h

    The wind only blows in the girl’s skirt and some of the torches…

  • Dross21

    There are four torches on the beach plus one enormous torch on a distant island.

    • Jo Momma

      It took a minute but…

      The torch just to the right of the couple, between them and the tent/shade must be a couple of miles away and several hundred feet tall. An amazing feat of engineering

  • Starfighter

    I think you’re trying too hard. :)

  • JamesA

    If you follow the link, it keeps referring to camping, so it’s clearly supposed to be a tent. Plus the bit through the door somehow makes the second light pole and the far island vanish. And asides from that, there’s the flames that seem to get grey halos against the sky.

  • Ghosty

    It looks like a backdrop or chromakey. Notice the “line” between the set and the backdrop?

  • Miss Silver

    OK, now THIS is a disaster.

  • Ryan Robinson Studio

    There is nothing wrong with the tent, no PS disaster. The horizon line’s distortion inside the tent is an optical illusion and there are no floating torches.

    PS Disasters has become a waste of time in recent months. Deleting off blog roll in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . .

    • http://rland.myopenid.com/ Rai

      thank god

    • Zardoz

      Bye, don’t remember to write.

      • Jugstopper

        Maybe I am wrong, but I am pretty sure Ryan was using something called “sarcasm”.

        • Zardoz

          Then he needs more practice.

        • Doctor Hispanico

          He should stick to design. Words are not his friend.

            How many of us tried the link, just in case…?

  • Jack E.

    Yeah, hold a piece of paper up along the ocean. It tracks. Just a weird staged photo.

    • vivtek

      Except there’s no sunset inside the tent.

  • FrankN.Stein

    TARDIS tent – much bigger on the inside than on the outside.

  • Ricardo_Ribeiro

    Hello Guys?
    That beach shade or whatever is a portal to another universe! that’s why is not ligned up! Duuuuh xD

  • Jay

    The torches weren’t free, but one of them was half-off… :D

  • Skip

    The shadows, people, the shadows!! Is it really high noon??

  • Fastskinnydogs

    But what’s up with the clouds? It looks like there’s a hidden message, but I just can’t make it out. “HELP”, maybe?

    • Tome

    There is nothing wrong with the horizon, its perfectly straight.
    There is however something wrong with the torch though.
    look:

  • markduane

    Friends- I actually took this photo and nothing was done in Photoshop. Just kidding.

  • soft

    IT’S STARGATE

  • Tom

    No one seems to have realised how bad the lighting is…
    Considering the light is in front of the people, but the sun is setting BEHIND them :D

  • Guest

    This is not a Photoshop disaster, was made in Windows Paint.

  • Whiny_Little_Snot

    This is stupid! You people are not entertaining me in the way I truly deserve. I’m unsubscribbling and you are all going to be sorry. I’ll be back later to see just how much you miss me.

    • mokkori

      This is the first good PSD since the changing of the guard.

      Also, by going to all of the effort of making a gag login, you have taken the title of whiniest whiner in whineland. You’re actually out-whining the whiners by whining about them. Congratulations.

  • Jahquel

    Are those tiki torches or blow torches because the flame is totally wrong, not to mention the fact that the couple are looking at something that is on (shore) instead of the sunset. strange indeed.

    • Tome

      They are looking at a polar bear.

  • Www Cvtemplate Net

    I love to walk on sand! thanks for sharing .gizmag.com!

    And who chopped off part of the distant island…surely it should be visible through the half-tent?

  • Tim

    What we have here, is a bad photograph, with a badly positioned torch, and a weird broken-line illusion in the back of a sunscreen-beacg tent-like thing. The only disaster is that they didn’t photoshop that part of the image.

    And the stamp clouds, of course :)

    • tim

      So, the photographer is really bad at his job, and the photoshopper is lazy as hell :)

  • Drinking an Izze

    heh, its a little pop up beach shelter, domed bit thats only sides and a top
    we use them when we go to the beach all the time

    the floating torch is weird lol, but the island in the distance could have ended and the tent just happened to be in front of the end of the island…

    the lighting is wonky too =/
