And I tink there's none other than the Zeolord and Photoshop Master who can teach me!!!

[reefer guy]

bro!!!!!!! u missed my award-winning TOTM posting

[AlfaRomeo]

You forgot how Scarab was generous enuff to offer his 3 suns to us ir order to get amazing coloration for the corals too while we wait for the thread started to come out and explain how he got such wonderful colors in 3 days and how he tahan standing atthe same spot for 4 days without moving an inch.

[AlfaRomeo]

Ok, last nite while we were waiting for thread starter to tell us the secrets in 4 day coloration, I was chatting at the same time to my ex-colleague who now works with the NewYork Mayor's office in the Electronic security/digital fraud team.

I forwarded the 2 pics and he swears thatthe 2 pics are exactly the same pic. He went on and on about digital artifacts in encoding etc etc which is like a digital fingerprint , i didnt get 3/4 of what he was trying to tell me.

This is the clincher, when I told him that in fact the photos were taken at least 4 days apart, he was very impressed to a point of being disbelieving and called me a lier.

He says that if the 2 photos are different but manipulated to give the same layout/look/image, then what we have here beats anything they have in NSA. He also wanted the thread owner to join them as a digital forensic expert since no one else in the world can take 2 photos with the same exact digital artifacts.

I didnt know Singapore so advanced that a home-user with a digital camera is better equiped than the NSA. POWER!

[ckevin]

I need help to save my bleached corals. I know it looks like a chinese painting but i am really not laughing.

Anyone..pl...ease

[AlfaRomeo]

ckevin, pic taken under sunlight only and no photoshop also? You must have been using the same sun the thread starter is using.

[weileong]

Very good theory hor Alfa

To support your theory, pls asked you so called friend to point out the artifact. Hmm.... didn't know you graduated from the London Institude of Advanced Research, (L.I.A.R)

[AlfaRomeo]

Its not my theory. I dunt understand what he is saying. Something to do with the way the camera encodes the pic. Compression is not perfect and no 2 pics have the same inaccuracies and inefficiency in encoding and compression. Not visible in the photos so how to point out?

I think you are thinking about artifacts in the pic itself rite? dats not the case here. its in the algorithm of the camera. Like i said, i didnt understand 3/4 of what he was trying to tell me.

Will get more details from him once he gets online later tonite. Stay tuned!

This is definately going to be thread of the year.

[AlfaRomeo]

Anyway, hope the thread starter will be more generous today and share with the world on how he manged to color up the corals in 4 days while standing at the same exact position. Looking forward to it. Groundbreaking!

[scarab]

Anyone..pl...ease

Bro sorry to see your corals like that man.....

Your yellow or purple or black or brown tang (can't tell the original colour liao) must be so shocked at your corals condition that it turned BLUE<......

Sorry can't help you until the 4 day colouration secret formula is revealed....best you stay tuned to this potential thread of the year to learn...else you will lose out big time...

In the meantime, I'll try to conjure a spell to see whether the 3 suns can appear at your place to help you with the colouration.....albeit temporary only....

Bro you not bad ah, 3.55 am still can do summary, some more so choon.

Kudos....

Next time you better don't be late ok???

[AlfaRomeo]

Sorry can't help you until the 4 day colouration secret formula is revealed....best you stay tuned to this potential thread of the year to learn...else you will lose out big time...

Its the patent pending '4 day color-up while standing perfectly still' method.

Clarification needed: Is the 3 suns necessary?

[blueheaven]

Wah it was only page 4 when I left yesterday night

Now boom up to so many pages!!!

3 reasons to indicate that the picture was photoshoped

1) Parts of the orange colony whited out (change in contrast)

2) Shadow created by something above the tank is visible in exact same pattern

3) Picture looks clearer (levelling and contrast)

See this part?

[blueheaven]

and compare this shadow with the 14 September pic

[AlfaRomeo]

The shadow will still be there cos he took both pics at the same exact time in the day and position without moving a single inch mah... didnt u get it for the past few pages? Weileong already explained to Scarab mah

[Reefaholic]

Good morning.. Wow still very a active thread leh. Definitely a hot topic.

You guys no good lah. Stop exposing his secret leh. If not he never come out to explain, where got fun.

[chanbi]

Interesting!! It is going to be my first reply in Kopi-Tiam (i think so)... I just want to say that even the Sep 10th photo is pretty cool. And WL's shoot is even better. Although this thread becomes a laughing matter, i think the intent of this thread is good and hopefully some can take a shoot over the weekend morning (i dun think most of us ever bother to take such a shoot) and can show us.. Cheers!

[weileong]

This is definately going to be thread of the year.

Very good theory hor

Since you mentioned this then please show proof for the benefit of other reefers. Both photos are JPG compressed and any artifacts would be lost after decompression, recompression process.

Hmm...I better go check with the bangala what's going on ah, those ah neh just cannot be trusted at all. Bangala are much better.

[Reefaholic]

Thread starter maybe MSNing buddy on what to do/say ala Master of puppets - Metallica...

Hope we can continue to learn from the expert... dunt shy shy leh thread starter?

Aiyo,

Thread starter dun know go where liao. And so selffish leh, if want the mod to close the thread for him, must close the thread himself mah.

Thread Starter -----> Thread Ender.

[weileong]

The shadow will still be there cos he took both pics at the same exact time in the day and position without moving a single inch mah... didnt u get it for the past few pages? Weileong already explained to Scarab mah

Alamak you fail your primary school science is it? sign....... better go check with your fat buddy with many years of reefing experience lah.

Diffused light source will cast the same shadow in the two different photos taken at different time. This is true even if the camera is placed on different location.

As for the reflection, those are clearly wires/cables on the hood of the tank, not surprising that they are visible.

oh BH, photoshop expert huh

[35Cents]

Wow...morning liao still got so many theories.....so many theories in regards to the superb colouration in a short time. I dun reckon its photoshop lah........ my theory is in using the miracle water as follows:

1) Dose 2 drops/100L

2) Pat sps a bit

3) Sit back and wait for results......

Simple huh?

[blueheaven]

The shadow will still be there cos he took both pics at the same exact time in the day and position without moving a single inch mah... didnt u get it for the past few pages? Weileong already explained to Scarab mah

Even if those are wires but still cannot be in exact same position right?

And there's also a strange humaniod sillhouette at the bottom of both pics

Don't tell me he stood there for 4 days without moving (meditating?)

Even if Alan really photoshoped the pic, I doubt he will openly expose himself.

Those who know can already, those who don't know, never mind.

No point pressing him to expose himself and make this like the JE thread. It hurts our internal bonding as a club
