Why not Luther and his friends playing Knights of the Round Table?
(He is the one talking to the cupbearer to the right still in disguise as the knight Junker Jörg)

Someone not getting a (lame) joke?

You probably also do not believe that these are photos of the real event.

Last _{yes, those are photographies not paintings} Post
of waxworks though

I literally would have to see an actual photograph of the actual event to believe it happened for real.

Last _{lots of fiction very little fact} Post

There is a very similar photograph of a real fairy. Can't locate it at present: too tired.

There were calls to ban photographs as evidence only a few years after they got invented because of the easy means of manipulation.

Last _{and already in 1911 the movie genre of Western was declared dead because all possible plots and chliches were exhausted and repeated ad nauseam} Post

Digital manipulation can do wonders nowadays.

Last _{still it is possible to tell what is real and what has been retouched} Post

I once merged two pictures together and placed me in the middle as the photographer (I am certain instructed so) hadleft me out. You can tell as at the merge point a man has one shoulder a lot bigger than the other. Otherwise it is perfect.

Last _{Ah...Photoshop} Post

There are numerous photoshop fail of the year competitions, espcially now that the year is coming to its end.

Last _{In camera tricks tend to be both cheaper and better than manipulation afterwards} Post

Last _{but what about the successes?} Post

Many a historian has been fooled by the photographies of the Bolsheviks storming the Winter Palace (my school history book had the most famous one too).
They were not from the actual event but from Eisenstein's reenactment for the propaganda film October.

Last _{mission accomplished} Post

Last _{how do you separate history from myth?} Post

Last _{there is a very strong overlap} Post
