John, now please explain to me why there are people (BODIES!) showing up in this picture, and what you had marked as buildings is actually just a line of people walking toward us.

How can this be?   I'm amazed.  I was not expecting this.  This takes  "Where's Waldo?" to a whole new level.  

John, are you playing a joke on me?    Em

John, you're not talking to me.  Come on.

Here's what I had to do to make this go this far.

1. Save the tif file as a png file.
2. Bring up the png file, half-size, and cut out the part we're interested in.
3. Slowly reduce the contrast, so that relative contrast was regained.
4. Added color.
5. Captured highlights and shadows.
6. Began working from top to bottom, to identify object and forms.
7. Coloration creates a sense of distance; and it was at the point, checking the lighting from top to bottom, I realized that what you had marked as structures was just a line of people, walking. That was a shock. So I began following the line of people down the page; and the further I went, the closer and larger the people showed up.

The three in lab coats on the far-right bottom were a total surprise.

So, what do you think?  What's going on here?

Emily

With all due respect Emily, you're crazy. I would suggest you seek medical help from a qualified health professional.

Thanks John.   There's absolutely NO respect being spoken here.

I'm so glad you appreciate my work enough to say Thank you.

I have recolored literally dozens of Mars and Moon photos and I'm becoming known for my opposition to NASA's obfuscations.  My photos are beautiful, and that reflects on creativity, not pathology.  No, I'm not crazy; I'm certifiably sane.

This is your forum. I guess you can be rude if you want to be.

Emily

Hehehe...  Laughing  Cool

Well Chaiyah, no offense intended as I know you already said before that you don't care, but the first question you should always ask yourself when analyzing any photo, is "What's the scale?". If you consider what the scale of the photo is, it will give you a much better perspective of what you are looking at.

There is no way to tell scale when the perspective is very "deep."

There's an up-close scale, an intermediate scale and a far-off scale.

How would you suggest these get measured?


Em
