@boomzilla said in Eclipse '17, US edition: https://twitter.com/mikeseidel/status/899788692297990146 #FakeNewsPhoto. but then again, not entirely unexpected... https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/6v6y1k/hello_reddit_i_am_the_accidental_photographer_of/?st=j6qz99td&sh=b398f913 Unfortunately, as some have suspected, the image of the eclipse that was posted is indeed modified further than simple contrast and saturation changes. It is two exposures edited into a single image. It started out as a Facebook post of a piece of simple art I created and quickly grew to something that it was not due to the way I described and promoted the image. I have mislead a lot of people and I apologize for that. I was seeking recognition for my photography, but not in this way. I would like to state that I have not made any monetary gain from this image, have closed down the print shop and have declined all media interviews related to this piece. I have wasted the time of many people and I apologize for that. I realize that the only reason this piece of work was significant was the story behind it which is not true. I apologize to all who were involved in tracking down the pilots. They were flying overhead at that point in time, but not exactly as is shown in the image.
