the 'hoax theory' also includes some hoax believer's sites, which use photos to 'prove' that the photos are faked. I discovered them a while back, and I have to say I am not sure if I am more amazed that someone actually believes it was all a hoax, or that they really took such pains to come up with convoluted 'explanations' for the so called discrepancies.
The sites examine a few discrepancies, such as the fact that certain backgrounds appear in photos supposedly taken miles from each other. Well, duh. If I were to take photos of Mt Hood from Salem and from Portland, approx 50 miles apart from each other, they would both contain virtually the same image of Mt Hood in the background.
Another 'discrepancy' is that shadows on the airless moon should be pitch black, which, when you consider the fact that the moon reflects light to us every month as it turns the full face to us, is outright ludicrous. Of course the moon's surface reflects light, and so even if a portion of an image is in shadow, it will have light reflected upon it from other surfaces nearby.
This could also easily explain the 'multiple light source' theory as well.
The flag would have HAD to have had a bar across the top so it would stand out.
Any of the 'discrepancies' can be explained with a little common sense. It only takes convoluted theories to 'explain' the conspiracy. |
