Hey photographers! Please check out this recent thread about photography in General Discussion.

Someone recently posted some really marvelous photos of the moon rising over the Lincoln Memorial. Of course, someone else who may not understand much about photography promptly labelled the photos as "fake" and "photoshopped."

You know that I could not let that go by. I posted a response explaining the concept of "forced perspective" as well as a description of some of the programs that we use to find these wonderful celestial alignments. I included some examples of my own work as well.

Here is a link to my main response.

Please check out the thread, and put in your own two cents worth if you feel so inclined.

Thanks,
