satode

The term “satode” refers to the requirement that every TTG photograph depicts a “specific appearance that occurred during exposure.”

Examples of photos that cannot qualify as TTG because they fail the “satode” test (each of these depicts a combination of visual elements that never occurred simultaneously during exposure):

• A smartphone photo of a group of people that combines each subject’s “best smile,” as taken from different exposures

• A photo into which the photographer has inserted themself from a separate exposure

• A long-exposure night photo that depicts multiple successive bursts of fireworks that a viewer of the scene would not have seen occurring simultaneously

• A long-exposure photo depicting multiple strikes of lightning that a viewer of the scene would not have seen occurring simultaneously

The satode requirement is in both P4 and P5 of the Trust Test.
