Let's Not Say Doctored Photo

My Camera | March 25, 2007 | Nick Danger

I have to say that the crowd size looks the same whether blurred or clear.

[ReformedBeckite]

....and the crowd blurred for effect...

I'm not so sure about that, I've try to take long distance pictures with my cheap camera and I can tell you it is really hard to get the right exact focus with a big telephoto lens. Also you would be amazed at the heat waves that a camera may catch off the pavement even on a cold day.
I don't know the picture may be doctored on purpose, but it is really hard to tell on some picture taken off of some web site that has probably been compressed considerably from the original to fit the web space etc.
I assume the picture was taken with a digital SLR or something like that and if they put the original picture on a web space you would have to scroll up and down and left and right all day just to see the picture. When compressed down to size for the web space a lot of the pixels are probably eliminated thus making it look like it was doctored.

Apparently someone thought I was suggesting something unpleasant for our domestic enemies.

[eeevil conservative]

just wonderin'.......if they want a picture to show more numbers..why not from the middle of the road, instead of in grass area?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

T'was not me who reported your post but the question still remains....

and an added Q

are you trying to make our enemies happy?

[Rome2000]

92% of the governments on the planet Earth would have had the ANSWER crowd in jail or shot by firing squad already.

Times are changing, the USA will soon not be able to afford the luxury of a known enemy within operating unfettered.

I wasn't suggesting it was, nor did I even consider it.

and an added Q:
are you trying to make our enemies happy?

How so?

I believe that our enemies should all be given the opportunity to die for what they believe in, every terrorist believing that 72 virgins and a big buffet are waiting for them should not have to wait a moment more than absolutely necessary and I would hope they would be eternally grateful and happy.

Yes, that grassy spot is in an inconvenient spot, isn't it?

Good catch!

Something is bothering me about the posture of some the protestors, starting with the woman in the white headband. They have their heads turned to (our) left, as if they are looking at something in that direction. The other protestors are looking ahead. It just seems out of place. They look more like they are standing and looking at (or waiting for) something, not walking.

Hmmm.

Now I know it's real - the traitors are going the wrong way on that road.

[RaceBannon]

You provedit to me, I dont remember those church spires, but you showed me! :)

Why not counter ANSWER with our own doctored photo's? This is the aerial view on the Gathering of Eagles as we came up out of wading pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

LOL! (#32) Yeah, that's it... that's the ticket... ;-)

[nutmeg]

Wow, you do great work, Nick! Fair enough... thanks for putting an end to this debate.

[BufordP]

Nicely done!
