An article in the news.  Would love to hear Bobby T's take on this.

We actually just went over this on the LGHS site. I and a fellow photo analyst feel this is a shot taken with a slow shutter speed of a person moving on the stairs. Look at the hand on the rail. Probably a woman as it appears to be wearing a dress. That is my opinion on it. I would like the original photo with the shooting info intact for a better analysis but that probably won't happen.

Doubt you will get that info.  So you can manipulate a digital photo?  I thought that digital cameras showed it like it was, not like the old cameras where you could play with the film.  Learned something new.

I read up on this a little, it looks like a slow shutter shot to me as well. I had a family member who had a slow shutter, and cursed the thing for pictures like this.

The only digital cameras that actually capture everything that is seen are those which can shoot in the raw format. All others shoot in jpeg, which compresses the data and throws some of the data out. And all digital photos can be easily manipulated in several programs with photoshop being the most well known.

I work a lot with photoshop.  Part of my job, but I thought that the picture then retains the information that it has been "worked" in a program once you re-save it.  Sooo much to learn.

The exif data will note the name of a program used to work on a digital photo. Unless you save for web. Then all of the exif is stripped out.
