Seeing is believing - or is it?

Blog visitor Jo sent this to us along with some comments: I am going to complain though, about the picture they put on the cover of StarMag on 28 March. That was clearly doctored (and badly done at that). As I have mentioned elsewhere, I don't have much regard for The Star's art dept.

The pic was of a bunch of scantily-clad females hanging out of a car, carrying BN flags while zooming around the streets of Terengganu. (Out goes PAS and back come the spaghetti straps?)

What gave the picture away was that the car was zooming fast enough for the flags to berkibar in the wind, despite the car having only pulled away from the kerb for two feet!

A Proton Wira loaded with five adults going from zero to sixty in one second! Shame on
Schumacher! And, the shadows of the girls fell on a billboard 50 feet away. Wow, what a powerful spotlight the photographer has!

Anyways, what good is complaining gonna do? We all know Star is a government newsletter, er, I mean, newspaper.

On further perusal of the cover picture, I noticed some words printed in microscopic print below the pic: "Photo composition & touch-up THANA"

HA! The truth IS out there!

Apparently, this picture is a composite of two superimposed photos. The photo of the girls was taken on election night while the other pic of the hill and "Allah
pelihara Terengganu" was put in the background to show that it was Terengganu.

Shows you things are not always what they seem.
