well not realy !! cammo and tone cannot be a guide as they were painted with the same cammo schemes and would be lit with the samelight from the same angle also a lot of old cameras gave severeley short depths of field
aero cameras have much larger apertures than our standard cameras for starters fine for photographing the ground at a set distance as the huge apertures gave fast exposure speeds
but as for photographing anything else i’d presume a very shallow depth of field would result
there was no dout it was a real aircraft , models are good ( but nowhere near that standard )
definateley good photoshopping though

Damn! Her “Mae West” has been inspected….. 🙁

agreed there is a likeleyhood of photoshopping but there’s also the chance of it being genuine
i take nothing as first seems with images there is the good chance it can be either !!

good spot
Well done Daz and Mark12:D
BM597 visiting Plymouth Sept 2006.
This is the original photo I took on the day (boring and miles away), when trying to make it ‘better’ I got a bit carried away. This is about 20 minutes on photoshop, thought at the time cam was a bit ‘samey’ for all three, however, it was never meant to be published and it didn’t take long for you guys to become suspicious. Good work.
I’ll dig out more later!

Amazing similarity of the camouflage tone and style on all ‘three’ Spitfires. 🙂
Mark
You’re right Mark12. Going even further, it’s pretty clear to me that it’s actually a model kit. Look at the photo full size, and you will see clear indications in the way the aircraft has been “weathered”. Also, the smoke staining from the guns looks way too defined and too long as well. There are other obvious giveaways too. Nicely done regardless though.
Cheers,
Richard

Wrong!

don’t let depth of feild guide you i have sean old photo’s with increadibly shallow depth of feild
i have seen shots of early vehicles where the background a couple of feet behind is blurred

. I’m dubious of the depth of field putting the other two spits so far out of focus. They are all in the same camo scheme too, with the same shadows
Richard
Let’s wait and see

Blimey Daz, anything with a pulse!:rolleyes:
Female, human, alive.
Yep, worthy of a punt.
She’s lovely.
Does she Spit?

Fazackerly!

I’m sure there’s some photoshopping there. The cut off around the edges is odd. I’m dubious of the depth of field putting the other two spits so far out of focus.Richard
What other two Spits?
Surely they are all the same aircraft. 🙂

By: Wyvernfan - 15th April 2011 at 15:00
😮 More Spitfires.?… nooooooooooooooooooooo
By: |RLWP - 15th April 2011 at 13:14
unless of course it is modern photoshopping !!

I’m still not convinced by the front Spit. The lighting says yes, the detail says no…
