Best Art in the Universe? Hubble Space Telescope's Amazing Pics From 2010
By Ben Muessig - AOL News(Dec. 15) -- You might think that taking highly detailed photographs of the darkest corners of the universe would be a purely scientific job. Turns out, there's an art to it. For the past 20 years, the Hubble Space Telescope has been orbiting the planet and wowing earthlings with breathtaking images of outer space, from jaw-dropping pictures of clusters of newborn stars to fantastic photos of colliding galaxies. But it's not just Hubble's cutting-edge optics that are responsible for these stunning photographs. Behind each image is the hard work of a team of researchers in Baltimore, who ...
Newspaper Photoshops Egyptian President in Front of Barack Obama
By Paul Wachter - AOL News(Sept. 16) -- As Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak ages, there's been increasing conversation and speculation about who might succeed him. But don't push Mubarak out of the picture, yet. Literally! Gawker caught Egypt's state-owned paper, Al-Ahram, in a Photoshopping doozy. As world leathers gather for Middle East peace talks, a Getty photo emerged of the notables walking together. In the original photo, Mubarak is trailing President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But in the photo that appears in Al-Ahram, Mubarak has been placed in front of the procession. While ...
A UFO Picture Worth More Than 1,000 Words
By Lee Speigel - AOL News(Aug. 25) -- I read with great interest on Friday David Corn's column in which he wonders, with all the recent technological advances and availability of new photographic and video equipment, why "no one captured clear and unambiguous evidence of UFOs from outer space." That may not be entirely true, and maybe this galactic burst of billions of devices that enable people around the world to more readily capture things on pixels and videotape doesn't necessarily mean they'll have more opportunities to photograph a mothership from another world. Corn refers to the recent UFO sightings in China ...
BP Photoshop Saga: More Doctored Images Surface
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(July 22) -- They've done it again! No more than 48 hours after BP confessed to using Photoshop in doctoring a photo of its oil spill crisis command center in Houston to make it appear "more panoramic," two new photographs of the oil spill response effort have been exposed as partial fakes as well. "We've instructed our postproduction team to refrain from doing cutting and pasting in the future," a company spokesman told London's Daily Telegraph today. The second obvious Photoshop job was identified Tuesday by the blog Gizmodo, which received a tip that a BP image of a helicopter ...
Why Would BP Photoshop Its Crisis Command Center?
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(July 20) -- BP's public image problems took a turn for the weirder on Monday, with AMERICAblog's John Aravosis exposing a poorly doctored photo of the company's crisis command center in Houston that had been posted to the official crisis response website. The company has now come clean (sort of) to The Washington Post -- claiming this morning that it was the photographer who snapped the image who was responsible for inserting three extra video screens into a bank of monitors. It still remains unclear, though, precisely why the alterations were even made in the first place. Check out the ...
French Fashion Spreads to Come with Warning Labels?
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyJust how dangerous to your health is that trip to the magazine kiosk? French politician Valerie Boyer has proposed stamping digitally altered photos with a warning label, telling Reuters that Photoshopped fashion photos create unrealistic beauty standards and could promote eating disorders. But slapping a health warning on the side of Vogue -- the same as on a cigarette package -- is unlikely to have much of an effect. For starters, the link between fashion photos and poor self-image -- while not insignificant -- isn't quite as clear as the link between smoking and lung cancer. But even more ...
