The Presidents shoots skeet...

[Hitman]

Not sure if you are being serious, but this image was taken with a professional Canon 5D full frame digital camera using a telephoto zoom lens at a wide aperture (was shot with the 70-200mm 2.8L IS II at f/4). It's normal for everything but the subject to be out of focus (blurry).

It's also normal when dealing with smoke that some angles of the smoke will appear in the photograph and other bits of smoke will appear invisible.

Teddy I know you're a Pro Photographer but do you know that from looking at the picture?

That type on information is normally saved in a photo's meta data.

Why are you all critiquing the way this guy shoots a shotgun and what kind of gun he is shooting? Who gives a sh!t? Doesn't anyone have anything better to do than worry about what this loser does in his free time or how terrible his form is?

I have a plugin installed in my web browser that extracts the image "EXIF" data. I find it interesting to look at the technical details of photographs. Here is the date from the posted image:

Another interesting thing is by pulling the serial number of the camera from the image I can cross reference that number in google images and see every picture that particular camera body has taken and posted online:

So then could you fake that info and post some nasty dwarf on pig sex pics somewhere and have it show up when someone does the same search?

hmm.. let me try..

OK I loaded the image in the latest Photoshop but it wouldn't let me edit the serial number. I could edit many of the other details of the image though. I am sure there are other programs out there that could hack into the data and change it though.

So that camera is apparently issued to one the White House's primary photo-propagandists.

Cool.

Funny, b/c this image is being passed around on FB.

So there is significant potential for mischief. I can just imagine the fun if you could find that snapshot of his birth certificate and edit the serial number on it to match that white house camera. Alex Jones would be simply orgasmic.

 

[Bosco]

Cool.

Here's one I came across

Here's a copy of the picture before they photoshopped it.

Holy crap. That's funny.

Would the shot be past the smoke or still in the barrel at the time this photo was taken? I know nothing about photography but that must have been a very nice camera. That photo is indeed intended to make a statement. I am sure they have pictures of him rescuing babies from burning buildings, saving a beached whale, and reading the Constitution with a smile on his face and a big thumbs up. This guy is like a controlled dream, whatever, whenever,and whoever you need him to be.

BEFORE the shot has made it out I say.

There is VERY little smoke afterwards considering the shot itself has pushed it all out. You can see clearly that the smoke is being PUSHED out because the shot is following the gases we see.

I am going to say its after the shot. I have taken thousands of photos like this. What you are seeing is the gasses that push the projectile out if the barrel. It's pretty easy to get a picture like this once you figure out the timing of the shooter. The shots I have taken before the projectile exits the barrel don't have smoke in them.

Yes, machinedrummer, this was taken with $6000 worth of camera and lens.

I guess it's hard to tell b/c there is Gas on both ends of the shot.

I'd say you're right though, I think looking again at the amount of Smoke in this shot it is indeed after. The smoke/gas before is usually minimal.

 

[Hitman]

Like seen in this video.

The SHOT is out the barrel before any real Gas/smoke can be seen.

Circled in Red is the shot.
