You deserve an award for this new word: Fauxtography
To: Suzy Quzy; finnman69
MYGAWD, Brilliant. Standing ovation and all that! I love a good turn of a phrase, and you've reached new heights with *fauxtography*. Not since *presidue* have I been so impressed! Great job, finnman!

I stole it as soon as I saw it!

Most convincing! Do they have some Photoshopped Photos from Israel that they ran where they can show similar editing of "dust"?

Just how does dust get on a digital photograph?

I've been doing digital photography for about ten years now...DUST on a picture has NEVER been a problem.
Now I have a digital SLR, Nikon D70s, and the manual DOES speak about dust getting on the mirror etc., however, my experience thus far is that the 'dust' has to be pretty big and numerous to cause an exposure issue. The CCD that scans the incoming image can get dust on it too, but that, according to Nikon, takes a good long while.
This sob Hajj was LYING and faking his pics...pure and simple.

This was actually discussed on NPR. Who'd a thunk it!
Of course, that audience would believe the lie.

No, he was
LYING.
Let's just pretend it was FOX NEWS manipulating images...or the White House...or (gasp) Tom DeLay's campaign.
THERE WOULD BE CONSTANT COVERAGE FROM TODAY UNTIL MID-NOVEMBER...ON THE ALPHABET NETWORKS and the NY SLIMES!
But Reuters will get a pass.

Gobbledygook talk. Reuters permits photoshop except when they don't. The photo guy got terminated because he got caught. Reuters will either rehire him when the fuss dies down or find him a job with some other news organization.

My vote is 20 years for the photog and 10 million fine for Reuters. Next offense doubles.......

Hershorn, whose title is news pictures editor for North America, said he did not believe the freelance photographer, Adnan Hajj—now dismissed by the agency—made his changes for political effect.
With that statement, Gary should be fired too......

I believe he was trying to take a picture and make it better rather than trying to take a picture and make a statement.
What does make it better mean ?
To: GRRRRR; Covenantor
The photographer had an agenda. His agenda was to help the terrorist side. Allthough Reuters may not use him, he will have plenty of work available in the Arab and European world swaying puplic opinion.
Israel should declare him an enemy combatant and take him out.

Digital cameras still have lenses.
Some digital SLRs still have mirrors.
