Last time I checked, guns have triggers.


and I could swear those buildings are from HL2/CS:S



One more edit:
The only thing that makes me think it *might* be photoshopped is that the shadow on the wall seems to make him too close and the comparison of the wall outlet (not to mention it being stretched small) and gun size.

The shadows and lighting are all the correct angle, considering that the light you see reflected in the window is the source (and not a moon, as I didn't pay attention to first)... however, the depth is wrong.

Hah, the Window, or picture or whatever it is on the wall is not even parallel to the ceiling or even close.
*buzzer* Fake.

There are such things as slanted roofs.

Nice find sherlock.

I'm not sure. The "scenery" outside looks like I'm looking at TVs or monitors hanging on the wall. The shadows cast by the guns don't match the angle of the shadow cast by the head, but maybe I'm wrong.

Yeah, like I said, angles are correct, depth is CRAP.

shows how people dont bother reading threads

yea, ain't that the truth. It's hilarious how after I've been exposed people are still talking about my shadow on the wall. Look at the original picture. The shadow really is that big, and I really am that far from the wall. It's called a flash :Q

By the way, the picture outside the window is not from HL2, its a pic I took in Den Haag (The Hague). The guns however, are for a HL2 mod. If you play mods, you might see em some day.

I hope that puts this to rest (for those who actually read).

I wasn't questioning your face's shadow. I was questioning the shadow cast by the guns.

HEY! How do we know you didn't just photochop the guns and window out of the REAL real pic? :D

Ah, well, you'd have a point there... it's tricky getting those shadows right. And that one guy was right about the alignment of the window, it seems to have gotten knocked outta whack when I distorted the image.
