Ax Slinger Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Please look at this photo closely. Click on it to see a larger copy. Is this a real photo, or a photochop? If you think it is a photochop, please tell me why you think so. Link to post Share on other sites
doofus Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Looks like a photochop Mainly bcus the outline of the mountains seems to be a little on the sharp side. If its real then that just proves i need to wear my glasses Keith Link to post Share on other sites
Bear Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Chopped shadowing is off and the mountain range looks like it is in a mist while everthing else is clear Great pic though if you had not asked for the pic to be looked at I would not ahve given it a second look. Great pic that would make a good desktop backround Link to post Share on other sites
Inprofile Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Mainly bcus the outline of the mountains seems to be a little on the sharp side. http://www.vividlight.com/articles/2314.htm Fake: The sun has set behind the mountains. (west) There should be no highlights on the mountains or the foreground. (east) Link to post Share on other sites

Jazzy Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 I think it's real. Link to post Share on other sites
Rev-Roy Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Fake.......I could be wrong, but the flowers in foreground look similar to Blue Bells of Texas. Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Ax, What on earth leads you to believe that there is a difference between what is real and what people proclaim to be real? I Link to post Share on other sites
MrFred Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Fake .. .. I agree with the reasoning of Inprofile . The lighting can't be like that .... but, it still makes an appealing picture ... which is probably what matters in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites
HammerSlammer Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Looks like a shop job to me. The foreground seem to be too bright Link to post Share on other sites
volt Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 The greenery in the forground reminds me of those scenes on the wizard of oz as they are approaching the emerald city. v http://www.oz-central.com/graphic/p_emerald_02.jpg Link to post Share on other sites
Jander Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Looks almost real, but some of the trees look copy and pasted and the edges are too perfect. Link to post Share on other sites
lorriehe Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Doesn't look real to me. I spent some time in the Andes of Peru and with this time of day, the lighting is quite different. It's a stunning pic though. Link to post Share on other sites
Star_Rider Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Well, Ax? Link to post Share on other sites
Ax Slinger Posted April 13, 2003 Author Share Posted April 13, 2003 Well... Most of you know I have a thing for photochopping, so therefore you must know it's a photochop. So perhaps I should have worded the question as... Which parts are chopped and which are not? Some of you were right on the money. Others were not. So to explain it, the top part is one photo, the bottom is another one. The sunlight is coming from two different directions, the top being slightly to the right of the photo, and the bottom being farther to the right. But comparing the top photo to several others that I have where the sunlight is coming from the same angle as the lower photo, I felt the difference is hardly noticeable, since you do not see the sun and they both do come from the right. And the scale is different. The top is closer to the camera, the bottom farther away. The area at the right side, accounting for about 1\10th of the width of the photo has been repainted. There are a couple of other spots where I added something in that wasn't there. The rest is from the original photos. (Which may or may not have been photochopped by someone else... I don't know.)

Canadian Bit Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 That picture looks like there is four sections to the chop job...sky, mountains, tree line, and the field....good 3D effect to it too. Who ever did it, did a dang fine job. :beer: oops almost forgot my cookie Link to post Share on other sites
Ax Slinger Posted April 14, 2003 Author Share Posted April 14, 2003 Hey Ax, Care if I nab it for my desktop? Awesome pic btw! Go right ahead. Feel free to copy any pics that I post. After all, I nabbed them somewhere myself, most of the time. Remember, if you click the pic, an 800x600 copy will open in another window... But say the word and I'll send you one in 1024x768. Or if you have Webshots Desktop installed, just drop in in there and set it as your wallpaper, and it will automatically be sized to fit your desktop. Link to post Share on other sites
