As for me, I live at a location around 30°S yet I find, like many others
(feel free to google it), that sunny 11 works far better for me. (And
all my cameras seem to agree..)

Nice diatribe. Look at the shadows in that photo. Nothing that you said holds
one drop of truth about that photo and the settings used.

Just because your crappy P&S can't take a photo like that doesn't mean
a decent DSLR can't. The fact that you think it's faked and too good
to be true doesn't surprise me one bit. In fact, it proves you're
wrong about everything you've posted so far. Isn't that an amazing
feat for one silly picture and your response to it? Talk about the
bait being set and the troll trapped in it!

If you would be willing to put your money where your mouth is, I can
absolutely prove the authenticity of that photo and that the exif data
with respect to anything related to exposure was not changed from what
the camera put there. Of course, it would also prove that you're an
idiot, so I doubt you'll take the challenge.

But it's going to cost you. First, you're going to have to put up
enough money to make it worth my while. Let's say, $1000. And of
course I'll do the same. If the exposure exif data is correct, I get
your $1000. If I altered it, you get my $1000.

Second, you're going to have to buy two copies of Nikon Image
Authentication software, one for you and another for a neutral 3rd
party so you can judge for yourself and have verification of the
results by the 3rd party. Of course I can verify it, but why would
you trust me?

You see, I have the original .NEF file from the camera and Image
Authentication was turned on when I shot it. I don't suspect you know
what that means but if you google "Nikon Image Authentication" and see
what it's used for, you'll be in for a sad surprise. And I'm sure you
know how to google since that's where you get all of your photography
related info from, most of it from suspect sources too.

And for that $1000, I'll even recreate a similar shot for you without
any ND filter just so you can be sure that I'm not lying when I say
there was no filter other than a UV filter (which just happens to be a
Hoya Super Pro1 UV(0) 77mm) used on that shot. If you want
verification of that, you'll have to travel here and observe it
yourself.

So, are you gonna put your money where your pestilence ridden mouth
is? Or are you gonna decline my offer and yet again prove that you're
a foolish troll that knows nothing about real-world photography?
