Need Help, Is This A Real Photo Or Video ??

[Thrashard]

I Can't seem to create a new topic. I have strong suspicion that this is a Video and not by a normal camera. Supposedly Richard E Aaron took this photo of Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden in 1977 but there are 2 horizontal lines going across the screen.

I cant find any real contact info to get a hold of Richard and have a strange feeling this is video and not taken by a normal camera, especially a camera from 1977. Any help or suggestions ??

If you zoom on the Zeppelin photo the lines go straight across and even the bottom Bass Drum is stretched and warped

I added a 2nd photo that is from a Video with horizontal lines

Welcome to TPF.
Please do not post photos that you do not own the rights to. It is against forum rules.

Since you didn't read that rule, I can only guess you didn't read the rest of them so.......this is for you.

No it is a hard fast forum rule. So I would suggest removing the photos unless you took them. The post has been reported.

As for pic 2 it looks like a picture taken of a tv. The lines are caused by the refresh rate of the picture. Pretty basic stuff.

No conspiracy so stop drinking the Kool aid. It'll lead to no good.

No forum will allow you to abuse the rules.

P.S. They're real.

Are you involved in this coverup conspiracy ? I think this rule can be broken.

No this rule cannot be broken. You may post links to images, but you MAY NOT post images to which are not your own or to which you do not hold rights. It might also benefit you in the future to actually read the rules and terms of use, and be a little slower to act like quite such a Richard when someone points out that you've violated a rule.

seems like your brain has been thrashedhard. What makes you think any reputable site would give a one timer sign in the time of day. You need to move on, maybe back under your rock.

Did you try looking him up? I'm not sure which photo you're talking about, but these look like maybe a slow shutter with some movement that caught the lights onstage in a way I'm not sure how to describe - choppy? Never got that effect but it's not like I'm out shooting rock concerts. Would have to go out someplace with similar lighting and an older camera and see if it can be recreated.

Or ask the dude who shot it, who according to this info. from the agency that represents him is from NY but has had his own studio in California since the '80s.

Might tell something to see other photos by him from the concert (or other concerts of the era).

In the first one I don't see it looking at the musician, but in the beams of light. Which makes me wonder if it's partly the type of lights; as those beams were projected they would have been moving so maybe the shutter caught them in a jerky way that looks like part of the beam of light has moved. I wonder if those type lights moved slowly or if there was a barely visible jerk in the movement as the light swung left to right that the camera picked up.

1) As said please link offsite to photos that are not your own and don't embed them.

2) It's just general errors/aberrations in photographs. Happens all the time no matter if you're using digital or film; the nature of some might change but otherwise its normal.
I mean it could be aliens or lizard people or time travel or super secret military digital camera tech hidden and only used for Led Zepplin performances - but I'd rather think its just error/aberration.
