Faking Pictures Section

I just felt it was important to start this thread up. There are a lot of UFO pics floating around and was wondering how good can someone make a clear looking fake or a blurry looking fake UFO picture. I've seen many convincing fakes and later found out that they were fakes.

So heres my challenge to you photo shop experts/hoaxers. Lets see how good you can come up with a fake and post it here on ATS. It can be a fake you created for this thread or a fake you created in the past. It can be a clear UFO picture fake or a blurry UFO and we'll determine how convincing it looks. I'm sure some hoaxers have probably posted fakes here on ATS and have convinced many. I'd like to see those again.

And if you want to go all out, you can make a video fake or post your old video fakes. I'd like to see one of those.

Or if you want, you can send your fakes in to coast to coast and see which one of our ATS pics is selected to be posted

I only ask for one thing NO BASHING OTHER PEOPLES WORK. Criticisms are cool

First, I am not in the habit of posting fake pics, but for this experiment here we go.

Fake? OR UFO...if fake...what is it?

Brilliant!
Post a known fake. Try to figure out technique.
I like the idea..
I'll be sending some up over the next few days..

Netstorm,
Spotlight on Fog?

the pic above is fake...it doesn't even look real.

Well it's a picture of something or you would not be seeing it.

Netstorm...good work

I think it would be a lot more convincing if you can put a few stars in the background or make it look like it was night time, and maybe reduce the glare of the spaceship to a certain extent.

SLightly overexposed eye of alligator, taken at night?

I wouldn't call it good work(though I appreciate the thumbs up)...took me 15 seconds to take the pic...it just has the "shape" so I posted it without playing around with the pic, except for resizing it.

BTW Callate La Boca....I love the way you spelled it

How about this one?
no enhancements whatsoever

Can they be well known (Fake) pics from other sources ( not our own work ) as well as our own stuff?

Commet with camera moved left to right? (And staying focused on trees)
Clouds blur the same, but trees are ok.

Sure...why not?

Notme,

And I knew exactly WHEN to open the shutter..

Is the first one a lamp? It looks like a lamp

Is going to get very interesting.
Will prob turn out to be a lesson in photography and photoshop

Right outside my front door.

How about this one?

It's a meteor. Don't Google it, because all that shows up is junk like computer generated conceptions of meteors, and jets, the usual.
