This guy was carrying something here and it was smudged out. Wonder what it was. Two guesses.
To: PajamaTruthMafia
This guy's DNA could be on a blue dress and he would still lie about it. What a pathetic excuse he had.

REgarding #207
There is nothing wrong with the two photos.
The one on the left was taken from a greater distance, using a telephoto lens. You can see the same palm tree and base of the antenna tower way back in the distance.
In the one on the right, the same palm and antenna tower appear much closer

It's not fake at all. One photo was taken with a telephoto lens...the other with normal lens at a slightly different angle.
Nothing wrong here...move along. ;^)

I was replying to post 196. That was a post of a Vietnam era photo with a fake caption identifying it as a current Beirut photo.

Wow. Thanks for pointing that out. I had no idea lenses had such capabilities.

Yes telephoto lenses scrunch all the background toward the point of focus.
If you look at the radio tower just to the right of the rear wheels...with the palm tree and bushes...which appear in the distant background in the photo on the right, you see what I mean.
That same antenna, bushes and palm tree appear much closer to the vehicle in the photo on the left.
A 300 mm lense would do that.

See #229...for explanation of reply #207.
No doctoring done at all. Telephoto lens used in photo on right.

Got it. Makes sense. Would it also affect the sky (no clouds) and the ground?
Here's another view of the scene

No doctoring done at all.Good point. I've looked carefully at all the photos and none appear faked.
It's easy to get carried away when there is blood in the water.

You've nailed it; they didn't can him for doctoring an image, the canned him for being lousy at it. A 5 year old could edit photos better than this guy did. I couldn't believe what a poor job he did. It's laugable.
