Prolly...

Daylight + white + exposure would do it.

The reason I don't think there was a flash used is because of the lack of detail or light in and around the guy's helmet, or under its straps. But yeah, a flash isnt even required to produce the whiteness of the cig.

Not only that... but the guy's mouth is in natural cig-gripping form. Not impossible to fake by any means, but far more would do it wrong than do it right. And when ya see the quality of P'shop work done when there isn't any money involved (me included), it usually doesn't cut the mustard. I can't imagine why anyone would go to the lengths to make it perfect.

Maybe the whole exposure was dark and was brightened with Photoshop, resulting in the white of the cig being so bright.

Who knows.

Some of you guys need to get a life. This thread was meant to honor Marines past and present. Take your arguments somewhere else. Maniac just go away, the political jabs are all old and tired and don't belong in this thread.

~~to the Marines, may they continue to serve in the proud tradition they have done since the beginning.~~

You are right Mav..

~~to the Marines and all who serve.~~

Yep a big to the marines. I saw this picture earlier today before it was posted here and that look in his eyes tells me a lot about the hardships he is enduring to serve our nation.

Sorry about my participation in the derailment but I got upset at the suggestion that this man's image was manipulated for some bizzare conspiracy theory or whatever sw and maniac are suggesting...

well theres many reasons to say it darn looks photoshopped.

first, ,the guy is a mess. the cigarrete is perfectly clean. When was the last time you lit a cigarrete with dirty hands and not rubbed some off on the cig?

the upper lip portion that makes contact with the filter looks as if it was re-touched.

the burning tip of the cigarrete is too crisp to ... clear. looks like if the cigarrete was taken from a high resolution camera (probably an advertisement) and plugged into the guy's face..his picture looks like its lower res than the cigarrete.

but then again it could be the flash thing but...

WHO CARES??

the thread wasnt about that.

Happy B-Day US Marines!

Exactly, but then again, just look at the source who brought it to light.
