Schuyler and Roadgravel, thanks. So my next question: would a film photo be more credible than a digital? My guess is yes.
If you keep it on the film, yes, away from the prying manipulations of photoshop, with its ease of changing things.
However, people have been altering filmed images for years and years, so it's not like film is immune from either alteration, or from taking pictures of fake, manipulated things. In an imaginary scenario, if you had a film camera, such as a Canon A-1, for example, with 35mm film still in the camera, with half the film still unexposed, and got some drone shots, then gave the camera up to neutral 3rd party experts who carefully removed and developed the film, then I certainly would 'trust' the pictures themselves under those circumstances more than digital.
That still leaves open the possibility of taking pictures of a model built with a super erector set and egg whips. Most of the Billy Meier photographs were taken with film, for example. Clever, to be sure, but still made from garbage can lids.


Links are broken. Yes, all of them.
