    I love these old cameras, I know what you mean but this isn't the case.
    There's a halo around the figures. Not an aperture neither a vignette effect. It's definitely a retouching. If it's a hoax, I can't be sure.

      It could also just be a darkroom thing - if the print was made by burning and dodging around the figures, the background around them would be blown out.

        See, on the last photo I posted, Lenin and Molotov. Around Molotov's figure there's a halo too. Very common on old photos. Adopted from oil painting technics.
        However, you may think that it's another fake photo and you may be right. We weren't there. Photos aren't real documents, always, they never were. Long time before Ps.

          I did some reading up on "Lunch atop a Skyscraper," and it was interesting. The photographer wasn't identified until fairly recently. Although staged, the photo wasn't faked. The halo you see are actually clouds in the background, they are so high up. Also, unkown to viewers, there is a roof surface a few stories below, so if they fell they wouldn't have had too far to go.

          I remember seeing film of steel workers on skyscrapers. It seemed to defy logic (and prudence) to be so high up and walking on such narrow steel beams, before the age of safety harnesses, but they did it.

          My avatar is an anachronism.

            Michel, looking at the photos of Lenin with and without Molotov, what jumps out immediately is that the second image has less resolution, so it's hard to compare the two. It appears there is a lot of light reflecting off the river, and possibly off the white wall in the background. I wonder if what you are seeing as a halo is not a lot of reflected light behind the figure.

              Daniel, not a halo, an editing again. I wonder if Molotov is a fake.
              The scale of these figures is a bit... out of scale. I wonder.
              Is there anything true on these photos?

                The Douglas TB2D Skypirate was a torpedo bomber intended for service with the US Navy’s aircraft carriers. Two prototypes were completed, but the dedicated torpedo bomber was becoming an outdated concept and with the end of World War II, the type was no longer needed, resulting in the project’s cancellation.

                    what's to distinguish this from other WWII planes? Just curious what you find retro cool about it. (looks sorta like the corsair)

                    now that motorcycle - awesome!!
