White House Manipulates Obama Photo with Halo
White House website blog ^ | 1 September 2009 | White House Phot

Check out the photograph of the Obamessiah accompanying this White House blog entry:
TUE, SEPTEMBER 1, 12:31 PM EST
Photostream: Work and Rest in August
Posted by Kori Schulman

You may need to search for this caption:

(President Barack Obama addresses a town hall meeting on health insurance reform inside a hangar at Gallatin Field in Belgrade, Mont., on Aug. 14, 2009. Official White House photo by Pete Souza)

Here is the photo of interest. Look at the halo:

Either the airplane hanger has a light directly behind Obama's head, or a halo has been photoshoped surrounding the messiah.

I’m sure the photographer was just trying to get the background light blocked so as to not ruin the shot..../sarc

No big deal. You see this in newspapers all the time, the editor decides there is not enough contrast between subject and background, so he takes PS and blasts in “contrast” to make the subject stand out. If that was done in this case it was a sloppy job (or a deliberate attempt for a halo, like during the campaign).

If it is a light behind his head, it’s wall-mounted. Usually, a light that close will not make a “halo” when you put something in front of it. Bright lights far away scatter light along the path, which shows up when you shadow the light itself.

It would be nice if there were more pictures from the same event.

It’s just his WHITE HALF trying to break through.

Even if they did mount a light there for the photo it would have interfered with all of the pictures taken from this location except when he stepped directly in the right spot to block it. A professional photographer either made this happen on purpose, or it’s a fake, he wouldn’t be there otherwise.

Some Freeper who knows how to post pics needs to go to the book by Hitler’s photographer who doctored a picture of Hitler with the cross above his head and post that pic. It’s in the photographer’s book “Hitler Was My Friend.”

Years ago, in Paris, a casual aquaintance said to me: "Les Americains sont stupides."

Of course I was outraged. Instinctively I defended my countrymen.

"If it were not for the Americans," I said, "the French would be Germans."

However, after reflecting on the people who elected Jimmy Carter to the Presidency, Bill Clinton twice, and Barack Obama--who allow Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to lead Congress--who allowed Teddy Kennedy to return to the Senate year after year--et al.--I might not disagree if she said it to me now.

Is that an incandescent halo or the government mandated compact florescent halo?
IMHO, BO’s juvenile Lefties do this to get conservatives in a dither. We ought to simply laugh at these sophomoric antics. Obviously, these taxpayer-paid BO cultists have nothing better to do...which is a very, very good thing for the nation.

Would just blasting the contrast create those marks under his eye..the ones on his forehead..and the marks on the front of his forehead that look like they had a shaky hand when creating the halo and got white on it.

I find it amusing that the White House Blog uses photo hosting which is blocked by the company net-nanny.

The photographer positioned ZeroBama between himself and a light from the other side of the hanger.
I agree it's creepy, likely no accident, but I'd have looked for a different out take.
It's not been manipulated.

My opinion comes from being a photographer and an 18 year editor.
