I do agree Josy. it just seems bizarre that this photo was rushed out seemingly to counter the huge amount of speculation last week and they do it in such a way as to add to the speculation 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare twotravellersLondon Posted March 11 #56152 Share Posted March 11 So grey here today that a troop of Elephants could hide against the horizon. Currently 7˚C, The "Sun has got his hat on"... as well as his raincoat, scarf, gloves and is so camouflaged that it would be easier to spot those Elephants. So... a warm and cosy day indoors today planning hols and outings! Best Wishes, 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that apparently lots of people do to put a good image on to 'social media'. Whatever, sadly it now does need explanation which may well not be forthcoming. Oh what a tangled web we weave ....... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare twotravellersLondon Posted March 11 #56155 Share Posted March 11 38 minutes ago, gadabout60 said: You can trust any picture any more unfortunately So very true! This was a well-known P&O Ship which we took a pic. of in 2019... Manipulation is a matter of fact for virtually every photo published in the press... and it has been for decades. Trained as a magazine art editor in the early 1980s... I had a team of folk at big desks with photo negs, surgical scalpels and photo shellack. The did things like tidying up Princes Diana's hair when the photo had been taken on a windy day or removing a distracting background from around Boy George... later used the photo on the front cover of a popular magazine. Leap forward almost half a century, and just look at the free-to-view internet press... there's hardly a pic that hasn't been enhanced, cropped, redefined, sharpened, had the colours altered and the dynamics changed. Pictures used for advertising... even more so. There's nothing malicious in this... it's just to make things look their best. and remove and awkward things... perhaps the position of hands or awkward shadows. And this is our original pic... all changed or "manipulated" in the time that it takes to read these couple of paragraphs... 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplesea Posted March 11 #56156 Share Posted March 11 Morning everyone, hope you are all well. A nice mainly sunny day here, with temps into double figures. Will need to make the most of it as rain is forecast again for tomorrow. Had visits from three of my daughter's yesterday bringing presents of chocolates, flowers and wine. Check in details became available yesterday for our Arvia cruise at Easter. We have a 3.30pm check in, so quite a bit of hanging around in the afternoon! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecttr Posted March 11 #56158 Share Posted March 11 My Anti virus software has been occasionally reporting a data breach since xmas and suggesting I pay for an upgrade. Now I think I know why. I bought a North Face waterproof jacket last year and I received an email from them this morning. Their parent group had a data breach in December and potentially personal information such as name, address, phone number etc was stolen. However no passwords or bank/ credit card details were compromised and the only thing stored was I paid by credit card with no further details, the system has now been restored. I supose paying for that upgrade is a good idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this can be sorted easily, but it is always difficult for the royals to refute or indeed admit anything without making things worse. Which only proves that our late Queen was correct with her well known adage. Royal they may be, but they are entitled to their privacy.

Ardennais Posted March 11 #56166 Share Posted March 11 I’m not remotely interested in the royals, but we pay for them, like it or not, so there must be some accountability. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why ever not, if I could remember how to photo shop from the 3 month course I did, then I would happily improve some of my photos before releasing them on my family and being subject to unflattering comments about my photography skills. And following the furore this has caused I would not blame them if they chose never to provide any family photos in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincslady Posted March 11 #56172 Share Posted March 11 It is, for many of us, not so much especially liking the Royal family, but more that the alternative could be someone like Trump, And one or two of our recent Prime Ministers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
