Doctored Photo?

  Posted by wny

On News/Activism 08/09/2006 7:35:43 AM PDT · 6 replies · 189+ views

On Frontpage mag, War Blog, a photo under "PALESTINIAN HUMAN SHIELD WATCH" (sorry, I can't link nor post it here) it's attributed to the AP, the guy firing looks pasted in. Notice the people in the backgroud are recoiling from the gunfire but the guy firing isn't, he looks like he's posing.

The gunman is lit from directly above. The spectators are lit from upper right.

He's been pasted in.

Don't know. Would be good to not cry wolf.

There are a lot of staged images out there.

Hot Air had one from NY Times of a "bombing victim" who appears to be running around helping a lot of people in other pictures from the same event.

Where's the magazine?
I see it firing but I don't see the magazine.

It looks like the shooter in the foreground has different lighting than the people in the background.

If it isn't doctored then the guy with the rifle is a real scumbag

(Ofcourse he maybe a scumbag anyway)

Sun appears to be above them and behind them (2 coordinates, not 2 suns). Also the wall is affording some shielding of the light source.

The lighting appears that it could be genuine.

You would think they'd all be looking where the shooter's firing, and not acting like they've never heard gunfire before.

If you check out the Photos you'll see that the "dead" guy in photo 2 looks awfully familiar to "not dead" guys in photos 4 and 6.

E's not dead

Those people would be getting their faces slammed with HOT brass each time that guy fired!!! If this were a real photo, those guys would be ducking and/or running like hell to get away from the brass!!!

If the gunman is a Pali, why is he holding an M-16? The Pali's use AK-47s. The sling looks non-standard, too, completely different from what is saw the IDF honeys wearing.

The angle of the light that is on their heads does appear to be different...........

Background people: Light seems to coming from a 1 to 2 o'clock position.
Shooter: Light is more directly overhead at 12 o'clock.

JMHO.
