Re: Scientific (in?)accuracy of another photo by Peter Lik

It might not be a "fake", but rather a "Photoshop composite". Or, even an "Augmented Reality". Such as, e.g. in Pokemon Go: http://blog.designs.codes/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Pokemon-Go-645x347.jpg Can you say that Pikachu is not there if you don't have the right tool to see it? ;-) Oh,

Re: Scientific (in?)accuracy of another photo by Peter Lik

That's a very good observation! Thanks, Matthew! I felt that something else was wrong about the light: the very right side was much brighter then the center: as in case of an object lit from the right. But I didn't look at the shadows. Igor Matthew Hunt Wed, 07 Feb 2018 10:37:52 -0800

Re: Scientific (in?)accuracy of another photo by Peter Lik

Definitely not a lunar eclipse. Besides the reason you give, lunar eclipses take place at the full moon, resulting in direct, flat light on the moon. But the craters in this picture have shadows to one side, consistent with the apparent phase. On Wed, Feb 7, 2018 at 1:28 PM, Igor PDML-StR

One photo from this set keeps attracting my attention: the one with the S.C. hat. The panorama is done nicely, - but I've noticed an interesting effect: you (I) spend time working on a panorama, enjoy the process, get the result, and then people are not that much excited to look at it...

Thanks Bob. I did manage to have some relax time in there and not reach for the camera for everything like some of the tourists there. There were a huge number of tourists in Sydney for the NYE party there, a good many of them posing for "instagram" moments... sigh, such is the nature of scenic
