If your 'proof' leaves room for guesses and alternative explanations it's not very solid. You may have pointed out some of the most likely explanations but that doesn't exclude everything else.
You cant state something as being a fact if you cant even prove it. My guesses are other possibilities and the fact that there can be such means that your evidence is bunk.

I did check the link btw, though it wasn't one that I posted. Do you know what 'diffused' and 'polarized' mean? I engourage you to study product photography abit more.

I see you dont understand what image editing means, the fact that some viewers do alter the exif data does not make the image edited. The file wont be original but the image data is the same.

What source you have for the 0 fov?
Where's those fake halo lights, source?

That comment was of the c2c images way before I even knew that there is full resolution ones availabe. I'm sorry you got pissed off for nothing.

I still dont see anything wrong with these images, infact your shadows looked more unnatural than anything in the original pictures.

Another leap to a hasty conclusion, there is plenty of reasons why we dont have raw's from the camera. They were compressed to medium size in-camera and we dont know why, maybe he had a small memory card, maybe he didn't stop to adjust the camera to it's raw settings.

Just the camera model suggests that this person isn't a photo enthusiast. This all of course if the images came from a camera in the first place

You haven't proven the drone is CGI. I have not seen any indication of fake dof. Even if such were there's no link between the image sources, that's a pure assumption.

Edit add: In general, if the camera is not in RAW mode, there will not be raw data. I bet most cameras work in a similar manner.

But then the debate continues as the EXIF data could be changed and a software person could actually change and rewrite the JPG to make it look unchanged.

If you are so sure of all your 'proof' 11 11, why don't you create a thread where you present your case?

11 11's complete theory of Caret and the Drones. If I agree, I will flag you and give you a star....
But whining that know one is listening to you and your theories amongst 95 odd pages of this particular thread, when some of us have come to our own conclusions based on 'proof' that was presented hundreds of posts ago in one of the many C2C drone threads is ridiculous. I honestly have lost interest in this topic because of posters like yourself.

11 11, I was also stating that the actual JPG image could be rewritten to remove traces of editing. Photoshop edits image so a programmer could also make a program to fix the traces. Even raw CCD data could be faked.
The image could have passed through a program with no image changes but some headers get modified.
Basically then, all digital photographs then would be suspect. So in the big picture a photo is only as good as the word and reputation of the person taking the picture.
Doc M makes sense. Maybe it is a mix of real documents that have been modified. If that is the case I still feel it is purely a hoax by someone.

Anyway, I understand the principles of EXIF, what it does. I also understand and accept that the EXIF data on these photos hasn't been 'edited' to appear authentic. But my question is simple:
What can this tell us?

I go through the trouble of creating these illustrations, and all I get in return is rant that people call "alternate explanations". I have yet to see any calculations, experiments, or evidence that proves me wrong..

... I think the hoaxer is in this very thread... no doubt. He knew you were going to e-mail him.
