No. Buckingham Palace released it to news agencies to distribute around the world.Wasn't the image lifted from Twitter anyway?
Kensington Palace, but otherwise thisNo. Buckingham Palace released it to news agencies to distribute around the world.
The Guardian, with access to the EXIF data, say the picture was taken with a Canon 50mm f/1.2 lens, which probably rules out the smartphone hypothesisThat's what I thought! The picture's said to be taken by William, so a smartphone camera is a possibility here?
Well, yes, compared to other problems our world currently has it's nothing, but we are allowed to pay attention to minor things, you knowWho cares?
Aye. But they don't then send them to press agencies with an embargo for release on Mothers Day.Who cares , Not me , Millions of people edit images.
I think I know what the photographer has done:
Taken multiple images, a burst, or more than one burst, and merged a number of them into one. I don't know if the merging's been done manually or otherwise.
Personally I think it's a good technique, you capture everyone smiling/laughing/eye-contact, 4 x split second actions in one. OK, it may have taken just 2 or 3 shots to get all 4 looking the way you want. Then there's the hands, added interest, doing something interesting/different, nothing rude. The result is normally better, less rigid than the old "say cheese" technique.
Conspirisy theorists will find something where there is nothing because they want to find something.Yeah, nothing in my theory for the conspirators to latch on to.
