On this Obama/grandparents photo...There has been numerous threads. Interesting and enlightening in reading some of the photoshop 'experts' input. Amazing the MSM absconded their responsibility and did not properly vet this 'candidate'.

Actually, that’s a mile north of the location in the photo. It’s near the hotels Pierre, Sheraton and Plaza.

Or it could be that the photo was overexposed and the background got bleached out - happens with automatic exposures.

Uh, no. There were NO automatic exposures possible when the Zero was in college: Such cameras/controllers were not invented yet.

Actually, everything was “real film” (no digitals) until the mid-90’s.

The Obama photo was taken from a lower angle. That is why you can’t see people and cars behind the wall. Sheesh!

[Boogieman]

Right, because arms can’t bend. If only we had a joint in the middle of them... that would be pretty cool.

“The interesting thing is the photo wash or blur or focus with Granny and Gramps matches, but little Barry is much too sharply focused and the exposure to nice.”

Examine the photo again. There are many places on both grandparents which are just as focused and exposed as Barry. The only places that are washed out are where the sunlight is hitting them, which is what you would expect. Barry’s sitting in a shadier spot, but Gramps gets the worst of it, because he is sitting on the left, which is the direction the sunlight is coming from.

[Boogieman]

“Exact same” must mean something entirely different wherever you are from, man.

[Boogieman]

No, it just shows a completely unnatural contour of gramp’s pants, being pushed up by a leg that is now missing.

Automatic exposures were invented in the 30s and have been common since the 60s.

[kabumpo]

But there were simple amateur cameras where you couldn’t do much with exposure.

As someone else pointed out before:

Between the two men, near their shoulders, there is a small, blue, triangular background that absolutely doesn’t belong there.

Now, if you look straight down a bit, near the underarm, there is another dark blue streak on the black leather jacket which also doesn’t seem to belong there.

Obama's mama finds the time to visit him at Hahvard:

The B-School (alma mater of GWB and Mittens) is across that foot bridge over the Charles River.

Just from looking at the picture:

1. It must be very cold and I’m surprised quite a few people were still in the water;

2. The sun was setting but the bridge was casting no shadow at all;

3. People in the background looked way too small from where the two were standing, which didn’t seem too far from the water’s edge.

As if anybody would be swimming in the Charles even if it were the height of July. LOL!

The camera in the old picture is much lower than in the new photos.

Those aren’t people. Those are birds. Or trash.
