M&Ms Droplets

now that’s what photography should be about… not a black and white picture of someone’s shoes

The top picture is full of M&M’s. They’re blue, red, orange, green, yellow, and brown.

But in the bottom picture we clearly see there’s white, pink, and even purple candies in the bowl.

The bottom picture is of gumballs! This concludes that the bottom picture is not taken with that camera at all. I’d even go as far to say that it was edited in Photoshop with a filter!

Yes, the above image and the below image are not the same photograph being taken. This is rather obvious.

BUT, Mr. Wright, there is one thing you overlooked. Examine the droplets on the bottom image. None of them are from the same angle. This is a natural occurrence when looking through water droplets.

Is it not possible that the photographer took the second image first?

Would it not be more probable that, when asked HOW it was taken, he/she took the above image of their setup using M&Ms- something much more common in a household rather than many gumballs- something they may have just bought for the original photo? 

So, to claim it was not taken with the same camera is indeed a long shot, Mr. Wright.

Thank you for your time.

Really, Edgeworth, is that your argument?

Aren’t you overlooking the fact that there are no pink M&Ms? This proves undeniably that these are not, in fact M&Ms, but some other kind of candy.

And, one other thing, I find it highly improbable that not one piece of candy is facing so the M logo is facing upwards.

So, in conclusion, there is no way that these are possibly M&Ms.

Hey, mister, I think you’re confuuuuuuused. Edgeworth agreed that they weren’t M&M’s. He was just refuting that there is a possibility there wasn’t any Photoshop used and that the above image was only depicting the method used in the bottom image.

I think someone might be getting a little senile, hehehe!

Everyone seems to be walking around the accusations by examining whether they are or aren’t M&Ms. That is not what’s important. What we should be looking at is instead, the so-called droplets, compared to the background image.

The angles within the droplets do not realistically coincide with one another! And, well, I don’t spend much time staring at drops of water, but I can surely say I’ve never seen such clarity in any water droplet. Also, as in the former picture, there is an obvious fogging on the glass, surely caused by whichever process was used to spray the water. Where is the fog? 

On top of all that, the drops are amazingly tiny compared to the anonymous-candy. One could argue the sheet is further away than in the ‘example’ pic, but the blurring of the candies definitely objects to that. We could also try to assume that the spray method used in the ‘original’ photo caused much tinier water spots, but are we to believe that the photographer was so careless that they couldn’t recreate the correct droplet size in the ‘example’? Surely, they should have been able to cause at least a closer resemblance.

Sure seems like they went out of their way to showcase the methodology of how the photograph was taken, yet neglected to go far enough to ensure it could be a like-comparison?

Rather unlikely!
