A PHOTOGRAPH DISSECTED AND ANALYSED


Shri P.G. Vijairengam had written to us that the moon depicted in the picture is made using image editing programs like Photoshop. He had also written "The relative sizes of moon and sun as seen from earth are almost the same. This is why during a total solar eclipse the moon almost exactly obscures the sun. That (the relative sizes) doesn't change whether one is observing them from the equator or the poles."

Out of curiosity we just cut the moon out from the picture, dissected and analysed. Picture 2 is the portion cut out. In picture 3 we enlarged the same and analysed.  We found the edges of the moon (Please look at the portion shown with arrow and have a close view)  really didn't match the pixel count of the sky. While the sky remained rather 'serene' from pixel angle, the moon portion appeared blurred suggesting cut and paste action in portions shown with the arrow. We further enlarged a portion of the moon again, as seen in Picture 4, and found all the impurities of the patch action done in the sunset picture in question.   

It is clear that the picture is an image prepared with photoshop intervention. In picture 5 we have just shown moon in different sizes.  Once size is confirmed, a sunset image could be prepared with some success but then only God is perfect, perfection in life is never achieved, it is the urge for perfection that takes us forward !
