framing suggestion:
If you can tear yourself away from the desirable ambience of the Ship Inn at Levington,
there's a pleasant walk along the shore of the Stour to Harkstead. With a dramatic sky
looming, this lone tree lured me into a IR shot (the Mrs thinks I've faked the sky - I haven't).
This opened up an interesting argument about what constitutes a fake in photography. Do the
great photographers - who often don't do their own printing - get accused of fakery when
they 'dodge and burn' to get the image they want? Lartigues made wonderfully eccentric
pictures without resorting to fakery, and Doisneau’s famous street kiss was staged a number
of times before he was happy with the result. It has the intended look of spontaneity about it,
but it’s hardly a fake in our terms. The famous image of soldiers raising the US flag on Mt
Suribachi on Iwo Jima was re-enacted (ie. faked) for the camera, as was the meeting of the
Russian and US troops on the Elbe in 1945. We know that for the sake of the storytelling,
facts often get overlooked by the need for impact, but when an entire movie is predicated on
the lie that it was an American submarine that captured an enigma machine in WW2 (in
‘U571’), who knows when the fakery and the misinformation will stop. For the record, this
picture is 100% genuine!
