Challenge: Fake News (Extended Editing)
Collection: Portfolio
Camera: Apple iPhone 7
Date: May 22, 2018
Date Uploaded: May 22, 2018

 Last day of the challenge... I awoke being dizzy which I'd never had before. Ever.

So... I gave up on all of my other plans, but remained dedicated to making an image for this... although, I really HATE fake news. (Just tell me the FACTS and let me make my own decisions, please.)

Yet, we rally...

I shot the images I needed with my camera, "chimped" them on the camera, then put the card into my reader.

It said there was nothing. So, I put the card back into my camera, saw the images, and found an old card reader.
It too said... I had nothing.

So, I put the card back into the camera and now it showed that I had nothing.

Weird.

So, I reshot with my old camera.

Same thing happened.

I attached the cameras, each of them, straight to my computer instead of going through the reader.

No images.

Dang it. I'm dizzy.

So... I reshot... with my cellphone, and plugged it into my computer.

It saw those.

So, I started editing! Nothing to do today since I'm dizzy and it's been raining outside ALL day...

Three hours later, I was almost finished... and then...

The power flicked off. Just for less than a second almost.

But still... Restart; all was gone.

*sigh*

I'm dizzy... I have nothing after over three hours. Give up.

NOPE! Not a chance! :D

So... I re-edited... five hours later, I uploaded.

There was more to the story on the right about sweet Robert... Here's all of it. The rest didn't fit.

"What was formerly thought
to be an actual bear animal
is found to be a humanoid
photographer artist and some-
times scullery worker masquer-
ading as a chef.

The world is shocked at the
lengths Bear_Music has gone
to to perpetrate this crime
against humanity. Some
members of the group that
he is a gang lord for online
say that he pretended to be an
actual bear for personal gain
in scores.

None of the members inter-
viewed knew how music is
involved. However, Lydia
claimed that she’d once seen
a bear in a rowboat. Another
member, pgirish, said in an
interview “He’s just a really,
really good guy and does a
bunch for the community.”

I just couldn't keep it a secret any longer!! But then again, if this is fake news does that mean that Bear_music actually IS a bear? Not voting.

Absolutely fantastic! The fact that DPC actually did shut down last night is a premonition that eerily came true. So this in fact may not be fake news! None the less it is creative, funny and technically perfect for the challenge. If you do not get the blue ribbon I would consider it real fake news! 10
