"Valley of the Shadow of Death"
This photo was taken by a journalist during the Crimean War. The goal was to depict all of the cannonballs in the street after a grizzly battle. Unfortunately, the photographer outed himself to photo manipulation when he posted all of his photos, and only one of them had these cannonballs...
Fake Cannonballs
Turns out, this photographer decided that his photos were "lively" enough, so he decided to photoshop a bunch of cannonballs into just one shot. Without thinking, he published the other photos as well. People noticed the outlier photo and accused him of faking it. He denied it.
