Isn't it plainly true that The Blue Marble is a composite? Source: NASA
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.
Didn't say it wasn't real, just that it was a composite, at least the modern one that I cite.
