Re: What is the motive behind Naudets' fake video?
The building on the right is similar in both pics (including number of windows and shadows) but the one on the left is different...
this happen when the photos are taken with a totally different focal length, meaning the lens used are different and the photographers were located in two different point of view, that's why some elements seem to be similar between the two pics and some are different.
The focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the principal foci (or focal points) of the lens. For a converging lens (for example a convex lens), the focal length is positive, and is the distance at which a beam of light will be focused to a single spot. For a diverging lens (for example a concave lens), the focal length is negative, and is the distance to the point from which a beam appears to be diverging after passing through the lens.
Lenses are usually categorized as having a wide-angle, normal or telephoto focal length.
The first pic was taken with a telephoto lens and the second one with a wide-angle lens, therefor some elements are similar in both shots and some are not (the photographers were located in two very different places)
Also the shots were taken at different time , in despite of the shadow on the first right building appearing to be the same.
