Well now for some reason the original link isn't working, but from what I can recall, is it not possible that the photo Kevin posted is the original (e.g. real) photo, then the plane was photoshopped into another shot, thus making the original topic shot a fake?

It's real enough. That shot Kevin posted is taken from a different angle & possibly by a different person. You lot are so used to faking stuff yourselves you can no longer recognise the real thing when you see it. LOL Tongue Grin

This is real, its an air show as pointed before, the plane is not landing, I’ve seen this before (not exactly this one) with my own eyes.

1.  It's not a fake!
2.  As mentioned above, it is doing a low pass as a display, and is NOT landing.
3.  The link does not work because www.airliners.net is down for maintenance.
4.  All photos on that website are 100% genuinely REAL.  They have an extensive, and rigorous screening process leaving only the highest quality shots to get accepted and displayed.

www.airliners.net is a highly reputable source for airliner pictures, and aviation-related discussion.

...And besides it's made by swedish people, and we are 100% genuine (Cheesy), the owner is really a nice chap and would never accept 'fraud' pictures, you have no clue how many pics that are rejected.

I suggest that this is debatable. Some fakes are so good they would pass all but the most careful scrutiny.

However, before accusing anyone of faking photos, ask yourself why any photographer worth the name would risk their reputation by submitting a fake. Roll Eyes

Anet has had its share of fakes but usually someone notices quickly and it will be removed quickly. I feel their standards are a little to high though, unless you can afford some pretty expensive equiptment and are an expert at post processing your image will be rejected 90% of the time

Also that's why the site is the best out there IMO...many pics are rejected but I'm not really fond of browsing thru blurry amateur photos with poor lighting and so on.

Better steer clear of my topics in this forum then. Tongue Grin

PS. They might not be perfect but at least I can guarantee that none of my photos are fakes. Wink

LOL its not so much the blurred photos i have a problem with, yes they should be rejected. Its when they are rejected for being slightly off center or a tree in the background is off center.  I personally am liking myaviation.net, it brings some really interesting photos to the public you wouldnt usually see due to their poor quality. Theres only so many times i can bare to look at a 777 on final approach to heathrow from the exact same angle. Or heaven forbid a DC10 from the back at schipol, they have a bad double reject, then why are there 70 photos of united 777's approaching heathrow same color same angle.

I agree.  Myaviation.net seems to be a little more "down to earth".

A.net is known for their high quality shots.  To sacrifice that just to make everyone able to submit pics would basically turn their servers into a file storage facility in under 20 seconds. 

If you want to post pics of lesser quality, there are countless places to do so.  But A.net has set a standard.  Practice and achieve that standard and you'll soon be seen by everyone who frequents the site.

As always, don't lower the bar, jump higher.
