At Bonsai by the Harbour last Sunday during Grant's demo on bending techniques there was a very interested viewer. Have a look over Grant's shoulder, I'm sure the ghost was very interested in the techniques being employed.

Holy Crap Watto did you only see that when you got home?
Hope it is not the ghost of the tree we were bending!

Hiya everyone,

WOW, looked at the photo, recognised two men in the pic, but the alien/ghost in the background.....?

Yes I see it/him/her......

The strangest thing is......when I saved the pic and opened it in a simple paint application.....and expanded it to its maximimum...
....the pixels all make sense......

I do a lot of verts and such....and in my opinion,there is no way that could have been added in at a later opportunity....
so......??

Um....WTF ?

Damn,........ now I really miss being there !!!

Sorry to burst your bubble,

But its a bloke with white hair, wearing a blue and white checked shirt, blue jeans and tan shoes. He is outside in the bright light standing behind a window. Its just the camera overexposing the white balance.

:( :(
In fact it's probably this guy.

Yes...I can see that now...


after looking at the pic on a bigger PC, tilting the screen back, wearing my Polariods....

The light from the grassy knoll may have caused my vision to play tricks .......

I have to admit, my monitor at work is a decent size and I had just spent an hour playing matchup using photos and trying to find the location on google maps, so I had my eye in. :geek:

That is no Ghost; thats an alien straight out of X-Files.

Maybe Mulder is in the audience.

Actually, the ghost would be more likened to Shane Warne at the moment. ;)

He's had more plastic surgery than a barbie doll.
