    Interesting, the new photos Zen is posting show when the marker is closer up, the background is a little farther away. The photos in question shows when the background is EXTREMELY closer, the car is just a little closer. The opposite effect, yet apparently no bridge damage in the original two, compared to the new one introduced.

    Yet more staged photos being covered here:

    Different lenses take in a different amount of light, also depends on the settings you are using on the camera.

    I'd say you might have a point with the grave stone photos you posted, because those are reasonable differences. The two photos in question are too unreasonable. To illustrate this point, place the two photos in question side by side, in an image, then post the two you posted side by side in the same image. The differences are extraordinary. On top of that, the two in question do not show a bombed out bridge, where the third one introduced clearly shows it and should be easily visisble in the other two photos.

    No wonder, the iranean terrorist leader has discovered communication -
    muslim style :)
    He even mentioned it clearly to use communication/media as a weapon a couple of days ago

    Lol, C'mon McFox, you have to admit it provides a bit of entertainment.

    The funny part is there are so many doctored and staged photos, it is strange that the one set of photographs people are arguing about are the ones that actually aren't doctored or staged.

    What would moving a car to another bridge even do for propaganda purposes :confused:

    I was a photography minor in college and I can also say that as you move from 35mm to both extremes (wide and close) you can create all kinds of effects that your eyes tell you can't be right.

    I don't think there's any doubting that there are doctored and staged photos from the conflict for whatever reasons, everything from a war photographer making an image more saleable to deliberately staged shots.
    Propaganda is hundreds of years old and is employed by both sides. It seems that Hisbollah is winning the propaganda war if nothing else.

    That one has to be accurate! He's not up walking around one minute, then stopping to pose for staged death photos like here.

    I guess when you run out of women and children to hide behind, someone's (literally) got to step up and play dead for the photo ops!

    'Operation ongoing'

    Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Paul Stephenson said the alleged plotters had intended "mass murder on an unimaginable scale".


    Passengers have to put any carry-on luggage in plastic bags

    "We are confident that we have disrupted a plan by terrorists to cause untold death and destruction and to commit, quite frankly, mass murder," he said.

    "We believe that the terrorists' aim was to smuggle explosives on to aeroplanes in hand luggage and to detonate these in flight. We also believe that the intended targets were flights from the United Kingdom to the United States of America.

    "I can confirm that a significant number of people are currently in custody and the operation is ongoing."

    Its about spending 70 posts trying to explain to the republicans something I spotted in 10 seconds.
    The fact that the so called staged photos were simply taken using a different lense.
    Aka Debunking a conspiracy theory about photos.
    Dont tell me you dont get it as well?
