John Wagg Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Not sure if this is the correct place to post but thought it is worth it. -- This was posted on Facebook and the F18 was and was taken during the Riverfire rehearsal. Riverfire is an event held as part of the Brisbane Festival. The group of people dressed in dayglow flak jackets are actually on the top of Brisbane's Story Bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Amazing what a big telephoto lens, a high shutter speed and being in the right place at the right time and using burst shooting can produce. I bet the F18 was never quite as close as the Photo purports it to be. Would have love to have taken it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Most of the spectators & photographers are not looking at the plane which suggests it's some kind of fake photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do seem to be looking the other way and seemingly unimpressed by a humongous F18 blasting past. One of them is taking a selfie too! Be a spectacular selfie if he got an F18 in it! Hang on, this came from Facebook 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john davidson 1 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The video would seem to provide plenty evidence that the still is not being faked, impressive anyway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wagg Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Stop the video at 10s and 23s to give a god view of the bridge and why the people would seem not to be looking directly at the plane. Yes a telephoto would shorten the distances but no reason to suspect it's a fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
