but the one labeled "This is what happens if you throw hot water into the air in Antarctica" was actually done in the Canadian arctic.

Not really a big deal but the guy throwing the tea is a friend of my brothers so I wanted to clarify it.

but I would bet that they used Lightroom or some other RAW photo processing software.

...with many filters along the way that would be difficult or impossible to duplicate in traditional film & chemistry photography, especially color photography.

A RAW image is computer data that can be manipulated in many ways, in fact it must be manipulated and filtered to get an acceptable image.

This is the only one I checked, but it proves the original story was poorly researched.

The vast majority of serious amateur and virtually all of professional photography is post processed outside of the camera via some image editing software. Some layman seem to think the only purpose for Photoshop is to significantly edit digital images outside the realm of what can be accomplished inside a film darkroom. The reality is the vast majority of the time, Photoshop is used in exactly the same way negative and positive film is manipulated in the darkroom. The only difference is one uses analog methods vs digital.
