• Quick note - the problem with Youtube videos not embedding on the forum appears to have been fixed, thanks to ZiprHead. If you do still see problems let me know.

Huh???!!!! WTF??

I suppose that approaching the "photographer" with the idea of adding a watermark to the original files before uploading them would not be productive. There would be, I presume, some other equally flimsy excuse.

My first thought was simply someone not knowing how to use the panorama feature on their camera.

After this thread started I saw a couple of posts from friends on FB along the lines of "25 Epic Pan Fails!" and similar. I was leaning towards your thoughts here, until I saw Roger Ramjets side-by-side with what sure looks like the pre-shopped image.

Nonetheless, I'm intrigued by the panorama fail pics. Sadly, I know how to use the panorama feature, so all my pics come out as expected. Dammit, I *want* to create some of those cool "fail" images! I think I need a pan fail tutorial...

I've looked at the pixels around the fuselage ...I do this for a living....and I have no reason to discount the original poster the only alteration is sharpening - the pixels are even around the fuselage.

There is something odd with rear nozzle distorting the contrail.

What's the point of the odd details...???
He took 4 photos because the single contrail caught his eye.
He did not know what he took a photo of at the time - it was too far away.
He only noticed the strange configuration when he looked at it on the computer.
( I've done the same thing birding - found completely unexpected images - a bee drafting a swift which took a bunch of sleuthing to sort out )

Two photos were in focus but one was not at full zoom....this one was and is consistent with photos I've taken of planes with full zoom.

Say what you will, I have at this point no reason to doubt the original poster and he's puzzled as well.
He took a photo of something strange and he does not understand what it is nor do I.

If you have something useful to contribute by all means.

Being dismissive as a photoshopped image moves nothing forward.

Too many aerodynamic structures not acting as aerodynamic structures. If the image is not photoshopped, it is inconsistent with modern aircraft, UFO indeed.
 
Buncha real contrail photos...

Moving forward could be done somewhat by macdoc, by him/her providing a link to this claimed other forum.

A rather more descriptive title for this thread would be a nice improvement too.

It appears to perfectly describe the OP's entertaining position towards an apparently photoshopped image.

But that's probably not what you meant ;)


E.T.A. Perhaps the image wasn't Photoshopped but rather Gimped .... or similar.

I believe that this person mentioned in the OP, may have not looked at all possible options to this strange phenomenon...and may be mistaken in their claim.

Thankyou..and you are wonderful person..
