Sharks and Yaks

[Angus]

I know one of these has been circulating for a while.

But this email came with a second that makes me not as sure whether its photoshopped or not???

Looking at Kayaks this afternoon and the salesman said yellow can attract sharks as a joke or so I thought lol

My first response was photo-shopped ( I am university trained in the visual arts). It’s a little bit clever, the mind instantly tries to disprove the odd thing out. But in this case the artist has been cunning. The shark is the real photo, the kayaker has been imposed. Takes the mind a little longer to realise. Its quite obvious when you look for waves from the kayak.

oh i see...it only took me 2 hours...lol:whistle:

yum yum yellow as the saying goes.. lol

when i saw that i really did think it was real but now that james said that it had just been put on because he can tell from the waves it gives off.. i can see that it isnt real aswell..

Hahaha. Nice one Caty. I love the little tricks the mind can play.

The paddles are in different positions on each shot - very clever!

Also it's only a matter of time before it actually happens - sharks are creatures of habit formed by repeatative action - yaking and fishing every weekend is repeatative action.

We used to call boogie boards shark biscuits and as you are sitting higher on a yak and will be able to watch the shark as he stalks you, yaks must be shark teasers or yak fin soup (when you crap yourself!)
