Reality vs altered reality
Thursday, 19 February 2026
Here’s the history of this image. I stepped out for the post-sunset glow, and the image I preferred was wide-angle. In the app, I reduced the keystoning inherent in wide-angle images with my phone’s lens. [I get tired of looking at keystoned images.] Somehow, it looks…altered, funny, not quite real. With or without keystoning, aren’t both images “real?”
