Even if ut is a composite, that does not mean it is not a real photo.

If I take 5 pictures of a landscape each with a bit of overlap with the last and then make one big panorama out of it it is a composite, still makes this a real photo. And if we want to go into the details of digital photography every digital photo is a composite of a red, a green and a blue picture. So the only real photos would be film based.

Film is just manipulating atoms!

You hear me? The photo was manipulated!

Didn't say it wasn't real, just that it was a composite, at least the modern one that I cite.
