Obviously faked.  Everyone knows things weren't in color back then.  And only a cell phone camera could achieve that depth of focus.

The real giveaway is that you added too much noise with the Add Noise filter.

And again with the horizon.    Were you guys out there too close to the edge again?

Well Trevor, all I can say is that I wish I could earn $6k per gig as a "non Professional Photographer," and be in a position to turn business away because I'm just too busy... like some of my clients!

I really think someone who produces such amateurish compositions as what's on your Flickr page would be a little smarter about putting down the work of others. Especially when you make such comments like

I don't have any out of focus poor quality shots in my flickr stream

I'm not sure what you call it, but there IS a thing called comparative texturing when you start combining different photos into one design. Some of your compositions have very noisy graphics next to overly smooth graphics - that's certainly not appealing. I really don't want to go down that road of putting down another person's work, but apparently you feel you're a little better than you are - which then gives me permission to give my opinion. When you start putting down other people, you really do open up the flood gates for others to knock you down a few notches. I certainly don't brag about what I can do, what I have done, and all I'm capable of. My belief is those who feel they must posture and prove their experience are only trying to prove something to themselves. You should let your work speak for yourself.

I really wish a moderator would close this thread because it's just going to get nastier as people like T. Dennis throw out their hypocritical words. Buddy, you need to check yourself at the door.

Obviously, Noel, you are unaware that satellite radar has revealed, what we mariners already knew back then, that certain parts of the Pacific are twenty feet higher than the average sea level, due to gravity anomalies.

One ot the very early Photoshop tutorials was how to deal with polar bears in snow, no doubt because there were so many demands.

In re cel phones: Kodak is bankrupt. Need I say more?

My GOD people, how many tangents can a thead have? How the hell do I remove myself from this thread. You people aren't adding anything to this thread, so STOP already! Does everyone in these forums have to always outdo everyone else? Does everyone need proven wrong all the time? Now I remember why I took a year long break from this place. It's maddening how some threads can grow into such crap!

I guess you must be talking about crap like this, huh?

Exactly! Since Noel was the OP of that thread, my comment was an inside joke between him and I.

 

I suggest you know ones context next time before you come so late into the game trying to call someone out (especially me).

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Seriously? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Listen sonny, in case no one told you, this is where the grown-ups hang out; it would behove you to remember that and act accordingly.

And next time you decide to make a little "inside joke" - I'm making air-quote signs now - you might want to add a winky or a smiley, just so that people like me who "come so late into the game," and whose powers of telepathy are not as pronounced as they once were, will understand the "context" of the remark, and not think it's a childish, spiteful dig at someone you'd already attacked on another thread. Just sayin'!

Photoshop itself is an inside joke.
