I am not a shop! :p


This photo:

It looks ace :cool:, but I can't help dismissing it as a Photoshop. Am I right? Or is it a legit photo? Source is http://www.concordephotos.com/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=131.



I know that once you get high enough you can see the curvature of the earth (and that's possible in an airplane) as seen in the 100% legit photo below, but surely the first can't be real? :

On a related note, can anyone find a decent resolution version of it? My Google skills are weak tonight :(.


EDIT: Replies confirm what I thought then, first pic is a 'shop. Bit naughty of the photography website not to mention it and treat it like a photo? Though I guess it is common sense. :p. I've changed the second pic to a better (and more legit) one, as initially I stuck up the wrong one.

Perspective looks totally wrong for that to be real. Sure you could get a photo of that kinda aspect but the Earth would be huge in comparision and getting the moon also in the shot would need a very good angle.

Absolutely no chance that is real unless they converted one to become a space shuttle!

I soo wanted it to be real! :( Though my cynicism was correct :).

Bit naughty that the photography website has it down as a legit photo though!



Next up you'll be saying that Father Christmas isn't real! :eek:

I'm not sure about the original picture but it might be real, see these. The height at which Concorde cruised was above 85% of the Earth's atmosphere.
