This isn't altogether the best example because the skin tones aren't close enough to being the same, but but I wanted to share what amazing things anyone with a modicum of patience can do with photo manipulation nowadays.The top photo was taken on a morning walk along Beach Road in Pattaya - somewhere along about 09:00 - and the one below is an adjusted version of the same image, except the sun is setting behind the three guys, making it look as though the picture was taken eight hours later.
When I was younger we always heard "the camera doesn't lie", but as you can see - today it can.
No. The camera doesn't lie. The people behind the camera DO. Andrew.
ReplyDeleteHi, Andrew - thanks for the comment, but I'm unclear on what you were trying to say.
ReplyDeleteA comment on tourists in general? Something I've posted that you've taken issue with? I'm curious. Perhaps you would elaborate?
What I meant is that the camera will capture whatever is in front of its lens the way it is. So it does not lie.
ReplyDeleteIt is us human then use technology to modify the captured image, to lie to the reviewing eyes.
Andrew.
HA! Yes, VERY true - good point, Andrew!
