Did noone think to say "omg, that's a 'shop LOL" - clearly they're not familiar with b3ta and the doctoring of photos.

Well all it takes is for a plane buff to identify both those aircraft, then we could compare scales (tailfins). If the sizes match, then its just a piccie on the end of the lens. If not, its a shop

This says what the airliners were.

I don't think it's a photoshop, more a case of depth perception

looks more like a camera angle thing to me

Well I read far too much of that forum... Still it is a better view of the picture. Ignoring all the technical details it seems to me that the DHL text on the plane is much clearer than the JAL on the other one, so it seems obvious to me that the DHL must be closer if it's a real photo, which I'm pretty sure it is.

There is something called focus!

Well yes, that's what I'm talking about. If they were really close together both logos would be in a similar focus, but when things are far apart you can't focus on both.

If they were both in focus it would either mean it was a fake or they were really close together.

Correct, but my point was, you can't make an assertation of which is closer based only on focus as it could be focused for either.

Not at that range, they'd both be in focus being so far from the camera. Especially on a sunny day like that.

But the other one can't be closer because it's behind the lower one?

Sort of like this

The daily mail said it wasn't photoshoped so I believe them!
