Looks more like a composition than a capture. I like the background image of the bridge. Nice shot.

An Antigravity Airbus?

Bravo! You are having some fun here, but when you create a photo composite, you have to be careful to ensure that you having left any clues that it isn't the "real thing". People have been looking at the real world for so long that they instinctively can tell is something is not quite right.

There are lots of clues here, so let me point out a few obvious ones.

1. Scale - this is an Airbus 380; a huge aircraft. At your position, it is unlikely to look as small as it does here and a more realistic fake take this into account. The pier and pilings are tiny compared to the plane.

2. Direction - we would question how a plane got that low after coming in over land, with buildings of a large city.

3. Focal lengths used in the two images. The plane appears to be taken with a long lens, yet the bridge and scene look to be a wide angle shot.

3. Lighting - the plane has a cool colour cast, yet the surroundings tend to the warm side.

4. Shadows, direction of light and reflections - if you look at the pier and pilings, we see them reflected in the water. Where is the plane?

5. Missing bits of sky. If you look at the area between the wing and plane body and the tail as well as the main landing gear and the sky; those are areas that you missed when cloning the plane it.


I do some photocomposite work and it usually is a fictitious work where the viewer immediately recognizes it as a fantasy or a combination of a studio shot and a different background where I match the light hitting the subject to the background image.

Ouch...i thought " technology make anything possible" even though wondered how the flight could make its way under the bridge...but i never guessed it is composite

6. The scene is a long exposure, hence the comment in Post #4!

Any pilot attempting that manoeuvre would find themselves very quickly out of a job, and in a US prison for a long time.

As a bit of fun however, well done.

Thanks for the comments just a bit of fun during lockdown

[MrB]

It is good fun Les, and an idea worth pursuing!

Here "clicked" means understood the implication"; it is a local usage here; i would like to know whether the same meaning was conveyed to you when i said that?

Yes, Nandakumar. In a context such as this fun thread, "clicked" should have that same meaning for readers here in the UK.

As I know someone on the Emirates management team, it would make his recent job easier; laying off staff if this were a true image. Plus taking the tail off, would avoid having to park up yet another one of their large fleet. Insurers may not play ball though!

A good bit of fun in these dire times and some handy tips for future compositing for all.
