I will remain heading back to ur website before long. Thank you ,Maybelle

Hello jazzroc,
Mr. Jeff Well’s photograph appears to be “doctored” a bit too much. Why would a modicum of contrast and saturation need to take place? Why not show the actual event as originally photographed, instead of making adjustments?

Hiya, John, it is not “doctored” at all. It has had its contrast increased (and maybe its “sharpness”) to draw attention to both the granularity and spectrum in the aerodynamic contrail. It is a remarkably clear picture.

This is a blatantly “Photo Shopped” picture. If the ice trail is backlit AND lit from the sunlight from above, then why is the bottom of the aircraft fuselage so lit up? And, why are there pinpoints of light on the forward right portion of the red jet engine cowlings? If the sunlight was emanating from above, then certainly there would be no substantial light source from below the aircraft to generate such a photographic effect.?

The underside of the plane is brilliantly backlit by the EARTH (or more accurately the sunlit cloud beneath). Pinpoints of light would be reflections of light from the camera plane. Only if the Earth were MATT BLACK would the underside of that plane be in silhouette. (A fine example of “blatant photoshopping” is a “chemtrailer’s” trail “gap” which you can find on this site. THAT is “photoshopping”!

Thus, the doctored photograph negates any claims that it is in fact real… And lets not get into how a jet, traveling at several hundred mph, can be photographed by a guy, traveling at several hundred mph, in another jet — 1200 meters below — can attain such a pristine looking photograph… Think, “turbulence”, “camera shake”, “light diffusion”, “statistical probability”….

It appears you are unable to understand or interpret physical realities.
In the stratosphere there is NO TURBULENCE. The stratosphere gets warmer within increasing altitude and has a serene stability. It’s the reason why passenger planes fly there…
The camera plane is also a jet. It is smooth – there is NO VIBRATION. The subject is BRIGHTLY LIT from both above and below, meaning that shutter speed would be fast, which also reduces any likelihood of camera shake.
“Light diffusion” – the atmosphere is clear…
“Statistical probability” – you’ve lost me there… probability of what? Taking the picture?
You should get out more often, perhaps buy a camera, go for a flight in the stratosphere (instead of through your fantasies), read a library book on the nature of the stratosphere…
And in the meanwhile, desist from ignoring physical realities and smearing and slandering others, thus forcing me to edit your comments.
