I'd say real, but digitally enhanced of course.

Enhanced how?

I'm curious as to why you think, well, either of these things. I was proven wrong, which has nothing to do with being an idiot. I said why I thought they were fake in a calm demeanor and odin replied the same way, yet you're still being a douche?

And adding one word to a statement I typed makes you fairly unoriginal, and definitely not clever.

Will you two get a room or at least take this to PM? :roll:

I'm done.

Well, in that second pic, the landscape looks WAY too close for how far away they are...

So how was your last space walk?

No you weren't. You sent me a PM then blocked PM's from me. Does that make you feel like you "won" or something? Seriously, grow up...

That would freak me the hell out to be able to see the ground that clearly while floating. I would feel like I was gonna start plummeting at any second.

They are plummeting! Fortunately, they are also moving forward fast enough to keep from actually getting closer to the earth (at least to a micro-g) .

No, the light from the Earth would drown out the stars in a photograph. The picture is exposed for the brightly lit Earth background so this is perfectly normal.

Yeah, that's what they say.

No, but acting like an authority on a subject you know little to nothing about does.

Gotcha. Other than the resize and maybe some cleanup as you said, it didn't look too much different to me.

Absolutely fake. Although they appear to have been carefully created in mspaint.

They ARE "plummeting" towards the earth. Just at more or less exactly the same speed that they're moving laterally away from it. Hence "free fall." Still would scare the sh!t out of me though. I'm not too fond of being 6 miles above the earth in an airplane, much less spacewalking in LEO ~210 miles above it.

Beautiful pictures. Of course they're real. Atmospheric distortion issues aside, it costs like $20,000 per pound to send something up in the Space Shuttle. So you're not gonna take up some crappy point-and-shoot.

Oh yeah, you're the dude who thinks NASA faked the moon landings.

Yup mostly levels/contrast.

Sharpening was done, added some saturation a bit.

But nothing too huge.
