You won't bother because you can't. In both images the vertical camera
angle is the same and any sublte difference in focal length doesn't
matter.


If you honestly think it is the same photo, you have more perception
problems that can be solved in this newsgroup.

I'm pretty confident of my level of visual literacy. I'm trained as a visual
professional and I can easily see things in photos that elude most others.
It's not me that has visual perception problems rather it's you that has
reading comprehension issues.

I did not say that the two images are the same photo. What I did say is that
the two images were photographed from the same vertical angle. In another
message in this thread I presented several simple visual clues that even you
can use to confirm this. The two photographers were very likely shooting
from the press gallery platform at the back of the hall, perhaps 10 or 15
feet apart. I'd estimate the effective focal length to be about 400-450mm.

Remember the cartoons and puzzles from grammar school that had you find
the differences in the pictures? Perhaps you'd find them a challenge.

I'm tempted to respond to your childish comment by telling you to go f*ck
yourself but that would mean lowering myself to your level, and I wouldn't
want to hurt your feelings, even if you are an *sshole.
