That was zoom lens illusion in that hospital like the sign language people at every daily conference beside professor Holahan where they look right beside Holahan but they are not

With Louise above,we can see the bench they are sitting on
No Question on the breach
No expensive journalist camera used,just a phone camera by the looks of it

Did they break the rules at the 'photoshoot'?

Can't believe you are sticking by your forensics on the hospital incident. 'Expensive journalist camera's'???

Have you looked at the daily Holahan conferences?
How close do the sign language people look
Yup right beside Holahan and others
But they are not
That's a zoom lens for you
Yes they are expensive

Dear jesus! ^

As I said, Louise should turn this gaff and mistake into an opportunity to inform.

Same as at the Holahan conferences

A zoom lens in a confined space such as a lab.

If you say so.

I agree ,but tbh,we are all human
When Leo was visiting the UCD virus Lab,I remember on the news coverage of him arriving, someone out of force of habit reaching out to shake his hand
He jerked away from him
I'm sure Louise 99 times out of a 100 practices social distancing
Lapsiing so obviously where obviously an opponent could take that shot was slipshod
What's not clear is what they were talking about
The other woman beside her could have had a tragedy in her life who knows
Nothing is simple

When the camera shops reopen

Tbf that's a zoom lens photo too.
But it's nice to see the conversation from the other day on the FG thread being borne out.
The usual faithful, but Leo and Harris and what about...............
Laughable lads

To be completely fair, I never made an issue on Harris or Leos photo either (for or against) and you can go back and check if you want.

However, replace Leo and Harris with any other members of the Dail/Dallas Cowboys/Disney etc etc etc positioned for a photo opportunity which appears to be disregarding social distancing guidelines - and those defending it - and later posting something similar (whether it be Sinn Fein/FF or anyone else) is completely double standards.

Scorn one/Scorn all.

The explanation on zoom lens's isNot laughable,just fact
Watch the department of health press conference this evening
I've accepted your opinion on Louise and offered mine

I guess my general point is to try to never throw stones in glass houses and that codology about the hospital photo and now the lab photo is/was certainly that
I know the temptation is great
We are all human

You may scorn Professor Holahan using your standards so
Because the zoom lens makes him look like he and others could hold hands with their sign language people
Yet they are definitely 2 metres apart in a room smaller than many labs

Morte, part of my degree is in photography...will you stop making a complete fool of yourself and stop making excuses while you are at it.

That's my motto Mc.
But lads to be realistic and we must be, this total distance thing in entirity every second of the day and with every interaction is impossible for any human being.
Not really a political point unless it is being done deliberately and with a forethought of being a protest against the rules.
The rules are an endeavour to get us to be aware of the need for as little interaction closely as possible.
But I've been close to people without thinking briefly a few times, has anyone not that's going about and meeting people, in shops or passing the time of day even, if we meet friends?

zoom lens let the photographer be at a distance. it doesnt take people spread out and move them closer to each other. even a wide angle lens doesnt do that

Incorrect
Zoom lens' distort distances behind the focused objects big time
Go watch the Professor Holahan conference this evening
For a simple experiment,try out your binoculars focusing on a house with a hill a few miles behind it
Or go to a camera shop when they re open and try a zoom lens

Nothing of noteriety in either pic for me.
If you were to take anything from either pic it would be the value of face masks probably.
But hard to drink coffee with one of them on.

Agree 100%
However, that was not the spirit of the discussion a few weeks back and not the spirit a few posts back poking fun at my csi like observations and what a zoom lens definitely does
I do appreciate that these threads are a punch and Judy affair
It's why to be honest, I'm losing interest in them,posts today notwithstanding

Yeah this exactly.

I remember a few weeks back some fella made an absolute plank of himself because he publicly had a go at two Gardai in Tullamore for "not social distancing" (from memory they were walking up the street together) when the error of his argument was pointed out to him he fairly wound the neck back in including issuing a rather public apology to the guards in question.

whatever floats your boat. if you believe you can get a photo like the one posted when people are 6 feet apart, go you.

What?

The camera lens produces the foreshortening effect, you cannot do it in the developing process.

It really is something when the Sinn Fein critics have been reduced to complaining about how far a sign language interpreter is from Dr. Holohan.

All that post does is show ignorance of the social distancing rules.

If we were to apply your rules strictly not one of us could go shopping as your version of the two metre rule is broken all the time.

"There is very little risk if you are just passing someone. But try to keep a distance of 2 metres as much as possible."

Moving close together for the five seconds it takes for a photograph is not a problem.

Sitting for twenty minutes close together having a coffee and a chat is a problem.

Can you understand the difference?

We also developed our own photos

You need to keep up tbh
The photo's are not a problem

In episodes on bbc one,of eastenders, the announcer used say filmed before social distancing rules came in
Perhaps we need a note under photographs these days too regarding lens's

Right I'm done with this lens topic,just saw the tweet and wanted to post for people in glass houses

Where did the '20 mins' come out of?
She could have just sat on the seat momentarily while passing.

Can you link to any back up of '20 mins'?
