Taking the "it's possible" approach is the mainstay of the tinfoil hat crowd. You need to point out something that can't be explained by anything else but post-processing.

Right. Personally, I'm sure it's legit. I'm curious what that odd bit is at the end of the top barrel.. perhaps it's the shot cup, nevertheless there is nothing to suggest it's a shop.

Yep. Focus stacking will only really work for still nature.FBM wrote:Yeah, exposure bracketing is possible, but multiple shots within one shotgun blast? You need a motionless subject for that, I think. Anyway, I'm not saying that it's impossible to shop something like that. With today's technology, hell no, it's not impossible. I'm just saying that there's nothing in that image that requires shopping. Everything I see can be explained by perfectly ordinary photographic principles.rEvolutionist wrote:Not that you are wrong, but there's a technique called "focus stacking" that can allow you render a greater depth of field. If I'm not mistaken, most advanced cameras now will allow you to bracket focussing.FBM wrote:Dood. No camera technology is going to change the physics of light. Multi-focus means within the existing depth of field, not beyond it. On the same focal plane. The only one that's possible to manipulate due to the laws of physics. I have a pretty cutting-edge camera and it has no function whatsoever that can simultaneously focus fore- and background images with a fast shutter speed. It just don't work that way.Scrumple wrote:Modern cameras are multi-focus and produce a nuanced depth of field. Just saying that doesn't appear to be the case here and is reminiscent of a known journalistic technique for artificially rendering a depth of field effect in sporting events.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

The passenger pigeon was, for example, hunted to extinction, but people ate them. Same with the dodo bird. So, the people buying meat from the butcher were as much to blame as the hunter. That's why buying hamburgers but descrying a hunter for carving up venison is, to me, rather ironic (in the popular sense of the word ironic).
