Hi
Ref Goodwood airshow Lancasters.
At the moment I cannot show this photo but please read this explanation of a digital camera mystery.
A friend just showed me a photo of the two Lancasters and Spitfire/Hurricanes flying in formation at Goodwood airshow but there is one thing amiss…
There are THREE Lancasters.
Obviously the Digital camera has somehow added the extra aircraft but how?
In all, four photos of the formation were taken, but the attitude of the ‘ ghost ‘ a/c is unique. Not a duplicate of another photo.
There are THREE Lancasters
It is a unique ‘ ghost ‘ image as it were.
Also the photo has no other discrepancies.
The crowd is normal. The clouds are normal. Everything is normal apart from the inclusion of an extra Lancaster which has a completely unique flying attitude too.
How has this happened?
At the moment I do not have permission to show the image here.
Regards

It seems to me all 3 Lancaster’s have disappeared, don’t keep us in suspense any longer.

Any chance we can have a look at this photo?

It would certainly be interesting.

So can we see the photo then?

Perhaps the camera (of a type unspecified/unknown) had a “”panoramic shot” mode engaged, and so has “stitched” two shots together to form one single composite image. If one of the Lancs just happened to be near the boundaries of two of the images that the camera merged, then I guess it may have been duplicated in the final image..?
As with Regal’s suggestion above, it’s just my slightly educated guess, and could be very wrong…

At a quick guess, could it be that the camera has a High Dynamic Range function which takes 3 exposures very quickly and assembles them into one pic, and perhaps the ghost image is one of the Lancs which has moved across frame relatively faster than the other components of the picture and thus recorded twice ?
It has to be said that I don’t know if the above explanation is technically feasible, it’s probably complete cobblers, hopefully one of the forums ace photogs will know the answer.
Or perhaps it’s a wind-up?

Someone give him permission to post photo. I’m intrigued.

Now there’s a teaser if ever there was one!
