Hmmm lots of thoughts of a photographic nature on an aviation forum but not much opinion of an aviating nature...sure you belong here Jumpseater ?

Who said anything about photoshopping ? I said the photo looks like it has been turned through 90 for dramatic effect.....not neccessarily by the photographer.......plenty of unscrupulous news papers/stations to do that sort of thing.

Look again at all the photos on page 6, especially posts 104,111,& 120.

In my world the horizon runs from left to right or vica versa.....since when has it gone vertically ?

In post 111 with the 2 pics side by side , with the aircraft rolling on its back the reflection is along the a/c longitudinal axis as expected, with the a/c in a dive pointed at the ground.....the reflection of the horizon is still along the longitudinal axis....what Lost in Saigon says about the reflections is hard to dispute !

PS at what point did the a/c roll left because thats what the ailerons are demanding in that photo ( unless it is aileron upfloat that we are seeing ) !
