Are you curious?

This is definitely the proof of how easy it is to produce fake news 

or fake news photos. 

Even a mere "grandma" like me can do it!

Our lighthouse (official: "Head Harbour Lightstation", but also know as "Eastquoddy" Lighthouse in the US ) 

is normally located at the north east end of our island. 

Seen from the boat on a lovely summer day.

Herring Cove is one wide, sweeping half-moon shaped bay. 

This is taken at the northern end of the bay. 

Then there suddenly was the mirage of lighthouse in the waters....

Fake!

Another Fiction

My newest creation! 

Hunter's Moon and Mulholland Lightstation 

melt together to new, fictional picture. 

So much fun to be creative again!

Photo Sandwich

Today, I finally tried how to "sandwich", or layer two separate photos 

in order to create a new one. 

Everyone who has a photoshop program 

knows how to do that, I guess.

I merely have have access to "Gimp".

It seemed a little complicated in the beginning,

but after a while I "got the hang" of it.

Not perfect but

it was fun and I am happy with the result.

First I selected this photo as the background.

The "Hunter's Moon"

Then I added a different one to layer onto the first.

This one.

 I had to figure out how to make this second one transparent. 

That was the challenge!

In the end I got this.

The moon is still showing through the bird, 

but certainly better than 

the moon in-front of the bird. 

That really would have been odd!

I say: this is my personal touch!

Canada geese in front of the Hunters Moon.

Like it!

Auntie's translation

Heute habe ich ein bisschen auf dem Rechner herumgespielt und aus zwei Photos ein Neues gebastelt. 

Es hat eine Weile gedauert bis ich herausgefunden hatte wie man das Zweite teilweise durchsichtig macht, 

aber ich habe es geschafft.

Fliegende Kanadagänse for dem Vollmond.
