Photography “don’ts”

I was staring in disbelief at the image.  The thumbnail had looked odd, but the full image was just surreal.

Well, unreal actually.  Check out what has made top spot in the last 24 hours over at Airliners.net.

Dear, oh dear, oh dear!  Apparently the screeners see no reason to remove this shot, claiming it meets the (very) high standards of Airliners.net.

Apart from the first-glance-obvious issues, check out the reflection in the nose!  Left hand down a bit?

Fast and loose

Alistair Wilkinson states BA038′s engines “shut down”.  I’m not sure I’ll ever believe the “facts” in a news story ever again.  Note that the full story as shown on the above-linked page was not aired on TV3, rather only the newsreader section at the beginning.  The statement is directly contradicted both by the full item and by the written item on TV3′s site – which appears to contain identical wording to that on Stuff.
