Blurry or distorted photos are easy to manipulate, the low quality means you can sort of blend it/blur/burn it in such a way that it covers up inconsistencies. Or, a perfectly sharp photo could be blurred post manipulation to give the same illusion.
Furthermore, the glare could very well be fake too---lighting and color gradients can give the photo the illusion of being unified. What is kind of off putting to me is the glare in the photos. Doesn't appear to behave like legitimate glare to me.
The first photo looks like it was given an almost copper color gradient on the vivid light setting with a low to mid opacity, while having the glare superimposed over that with layer set to screen. Second photo lacks the gradient, however, the glare still looks incredibly out of place.
I'm not saying that they are fake but they do look rather sketchy.
I just took a Digital Photography and Intro to Photoshop class.
The glare looks legit, most cameras have trouble photographing television sets when set to auto-adjust (Especially flat screens due to the highly reflective scratch protection layer) in dark rooms and will often set the flash to a longer time than is actually required which results in extreme glare.
Even with my SLR and manual settings I still get glare from the sun even if I set it for optimal anti-glare settings. It is really hard to get a decent shot unless you are in mid level light with no sunlight and yet bright enough to see the picture.
Here are some of my attempts to get a decent picture at like 3:00 PM when the sun shines in my window... :/
Most noticable in this one...True the pixels make it easy to add the image in and blur it to disguise the ruse, but if you magnify it I can't see any mistakes around it at all like if he forgot to smooth an edge.
