White House using stitched photos?
"Annika1980" wrote in message ... This pic from the official White House photographer is obviously stitched. And poorly done at that. Is this change we can believe in? http://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse/3484868454 Where is the stitching done? Maybe it is so obvious that I don't see it. -- Med venlig hilsen/Kind regards, Hans Kruse www.hanskrusephotography.com, www.hanskruse.com |

They didn't do a very good job and every now and then a little bit of garbage oozes out and contaminates the ng. Dave Cohen |

First look at the Large size photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...68454/sizes/l/ Notice the line down the tree in the background where the tree changes colors. This line continues down into the grass. Now look at the photo at it's original size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...68454/sizes/o/ You can clearly see where the photos have been joined. My guess is that either Obama and Biden weren't there at the same moment or somebody else was there that was taken out. And who's shadow is that to the right? And what is Obama putting to? I get the impression that they weren't on the green at the same time, but the shadows indicate that they were there at nearly the same time. It may be that someone, or something, was masked out as the stitching seems to end at the edge of the greens grass. Could be more of an edit than a stitch. |

This line continues down into the grass. Now you are seeing thingss. There are two different trees. The nly straight line is a building in the background , and the line does not continue into the grass as much as you would have us accept. Now look at the photo at it's original size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...68454/sizes/o/ OK1 You can clearly see where the photos have been joined. Not even here. It just confirms what I noted before. If you suggest you see something and make enough people believe you then it becomes that mythical "Madonna image od burnt toast." My guess is that either Obama and Biden weren't there at the same moment or somebody else was there that was taken out. And who's shadow is that to the right? Aaah! to the right of the third ball. Over on the grassy knoll. My guess is the mysterious third putter or more likely another tree. A fine example of bad cropping And what is Obama putting to? A dumb photo-op. There was as much thought put into this as the NYC fly-by photo shoot. It was probably planned by the same PR idiot who should be looking for a job right now. Just a stupid posed scene. It is stupid on so many levels, probably not in anyway conspiratorial, but undeniably stupid. -- Regards, Savageduck |

White House using stitched photos?
"Bob Larter" wrote Look at it closely, it's obviously the shadow of a branch. Can't see a tree there on any aerial views of the White house I've found so far. More likely it is the shadow of a Secret Service guy *disguised* as a tree! Actually, I haven't yet found a view that includes a putting green - they all just show one neatly-mown lawn, although the WH has had a putting green since the Johnson days. Maybe they didn't maintain it as one until Obama took over? Unlikely they ever let Bush loose with a dangerous weapon like a golf club... Paul |

More likely it is the shadow of a Secret Service guy *disguised* as a tree! I have to agree. That is a South Lawn view, confirmed by the South facing of the WH and the awning extending out of the building. There is no tree anywhere near that area on the lawn. So the shadow is certainly a third party.

The line of the building visible between the trees, appears to be part of the East Wing. Paul -- Regards, Savageduck |

White House using stitched photos?
"Twibil" wrote Google Earth shows one clearly, and located right where the picture was taken too. However, it also shows a tree bordering/overhanging the golf green that is apparently no longer there. Ah, now I see it. (I didn't use GE at first, it takes forever to load on dialup!) The green is further away from the building than I thought, the picture we're talking about makes it look a lot closer. Paul |

There are about a half dozen people in that painting who weren't at the signing. Additionally, there are about a half dozen people who were at the signing who aren't in the painting. My point? Who cares! It's the spirit or intent of the picture that counts. |

First look at the Large size photo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...68454/sizes/l/ Notice the line down the tree in the background where the tree changes colors. Seems to be the contrast of the corner of a building in the BG. This line continues down into the grass. Coincidence in where a flaw in the grass occurs. Now look at the photo at it's original size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/whiteho...68454/sizes/o/ You can clearly see where the photos have been joined. Really? I see the contrast of the corner of a building in the far BG and a bit of hedge and grass than needs some TLC. My guess is that either Obama and Biden weren't there at the same moment or somebody else was there that was taken out. And who's shadow is that to the right? That! That! That? It's the following: "a shadow to the right." A tree or photographer or Republican who's not allowed to be in the photo. And what is Obama putting to? Multiple holes on a putting practice green is not unusual. I'm sure the White House has better things to risk a "photo manipulation scandal" on. -- -- r.p.e.35mm user resource: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpe35mmur.htm -- r.p.d.slr-systems: http://www.aliasimages.com/rpdslrsysur.htm -- [SI] gallery & rulz: http://www.pbase.com/shootin -- e-meil: Remove FreeLunch. -- usenet posts from gmail.com and googlemail.com are filtered out. |
