John Simkin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I would be interested in the opinion of the photographic experts on the forum to take a look at this series of photographs. http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=14552 Is it possible the last of these photographs is a fake?

Guest Tom Scully Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) John, I'm guessing you are posting about this final picture in the series of mishaps at Roundstone Pier in Ireland: http://graphics1.snopes.com/photos/acciden...ics/crane10.jpg The incident is not as unusual as one might think, just the degree: Edited July 10, 2009 by Tom Scully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Simkin Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would say it is fake. But why? Two clues: people and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Baker Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) I'm no expert, but I don't think you need to be one. Compare photos 5 and 9 and see that spectators don't move, and neither does the water. All shadows and the position of the truck in the water are identical in those two photographs. So I'd argue only the last picture is a fake. ... (later) ... sorry, when I posted this I couldn't see Duncan's attachment, which says it all.

Guest Tom Scully Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) I would say it is fake. But why? Two clues: people and water. The water level, due to the tides, is most similar (lower tide) in photos no. 2 and no. 9, as are the number and positioning of vehicles in the vicinity, and the approximate number of people in the scene are most similar. It seems likely that photo no. 9 is an altered version of photo no, 2. There was no response to the fact that I identified the incident and it's location and posted a link to one of the photos before the photos John posted became visible in the forum.

Guest Tom Scully Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) Duncan, On only one visit to John's post linked in post #1, was I able to view the posted sequence of photographs. To clarify my last post, are we in agreement that the photoshopped photo is #3, here: http://www.vertikal.net/en/stories.php?id=1190 ?
