A Break in the Clouds

August 28, 2008 - 30,511 views

If I would have been a church-goer, I would have said this is a sign from God. Since I don’t believe in supernatural, I’ll just settle for the term “bizarre weather occurrence”, captured on film in Madeira, a Portuguese archipelago in the north Atlantic Ocean. The photographer has yet to discover what was under that spotlight.

    Indeed it is shopped, check out the Exif Data;
    Software/Firmware Version = Adobe Photoshop CS2 Windows

    I call it natures spotlight.

    You know, the EXIF data changes even when brought into photoshop for cropping.

    That doesn’t automatically make it fake.

    Looking at it closely (way zoomed in) I don’t see any JPEG artifacts that necessarily give it away as a ’shop.

    While loading it into PS, even if just for cropping/re-sizing, doesn’t automatically mean it’s been shopped, but it does bring doubt to mind. There are a myriad of other, simpler, less criticized programs to do simple editing with ( the simplest of which being basic MSPaint) that could have been used to make it seem less shady.

    Also, I can totally tell from the pixels. And I’ve seen a few shops in my time.

    He’s A Photographer, is it possible that MAYBE he changed the Overall Colour? or just lightened it up a bit? These Sort Of Things Happen All The Time, Its Just The Sun Comming Through the clouds, With A Propper Filter On The Camera Its Amazing What U Can See.

    Just Appreciate the beauty behind gods creations.
