Can we say doctored photo?

Posted on 03/24/2007 4:46:25 PM PDT by Lady J USA 1981

Does this photo appear to be doctored to you?

Maybe the UPI photographer took the photos from a big truck in the grass. Otherwise, he was buzzing them from a chopper hovering at 10 feet. Their hats would be blowing off.

Wow, excellent work in #121, Nick! This is one example of why I like your FR posts so much... ;-)

Just noticed (again on the bottom photo) the people in the foreground facing toward the protesters are plainly standing on a sidewalk, but the road the protesters are marching on has paint lines and arrows that go right up to the sidewalk people. One of the arrows points right through the crowd! AND notice the people on the sidewalk appear slightly smaller than the front line of protesters; at that angle, they should be larger.

That is not a sidewalk, but rather a concrete traffic island at the traffic circle. We were there, and can vouch for the accuracy of the AP photo. You can see it and the no u-turn sign in this photo.

Thanks for the reply. So, by saying "We were there, and can vouch for the accuracy of the AP photo" do you mean just the sidewalk/traffic circle part, or that the entire photo is an accurate representation of the crowd size/composition. Not sharp-shooting, but your answer could put to rest a lot of the conjecture on this thread.

Interesting. When the titles of FR posts aren't obvious, I like to play a little game as I scroll through them and guess what they refer to. My first guess was that this referred to an antiwar march. I saw a similar enemy progapanda piece on boston.com. There, they claim "hundreds" turned out for the rally on boston common. Of course, on a decently warm early spring day, "hundreds" are at Boston Common anyway.

They have about five pictures up. One of the "crowd" which cannot be more than 75 people. And if you look at the angle of the photo, it almost appears that it was staged and cropped. And if you you look at the other pictures, there's virtually no one in the area besides the subjects. No surprise to anyone here, of course.

The picture here is clearly on the bridge because you can see the side of it. It looks strange to me.

Probably carefully framed to show the most dense part of the crowd as though that represented the whole gathering - like the pictures by Philly channel 10 of an anti-war protest held in a downtown church last week - several shots of a few people sitting in individual pews, but no shot of the interior of the church all at once, probably because there were likely only about ten people in the whole place........

It's photoshopped. There is a distorted depth as the photo should visually recede into the distance--both color, focus and perspective. The photo appears very flat, depth-wise. It's a fake.

This wasn't just photo-shopped, it was a BAD job of photo-shopping. It looks to me like the super-imposed the same picture over itself, and took out the communist flags.

Check the "two rows" of street lights on the right, and how the lights just stop on the left and don't continue across the bridge. That doesn't happen in real life. Also, the crowd is wider than the bridge! Do they expect us to believe they really walk on water?
