What the heck is the fuss all about. We all at Luchtzak know that if it is a picture posted and displayed at A.net then those people are so precarious of their reputation that they would not sport a fake.
Aum Sweet Aum.

Ok, at first I tought it was real, but now I see he has another one, I'm starting to doubt about it. And how can the one at night be brighter then the one at daytime?

Of course, it's possible. When you are a professional photogh, you know how to have the brightness you want, depending, which camera, time of exposition, which lense etc....

Foker i think you forgot that at night things seems to be lighter because there is no lightness around but day time there is the sun that gives light which makes the day one look less bright :wink: Foker lets consider stars in the cities you dont see many stars because the lights we have make it hard to see small light dots in the sky but in the country side where there are no houses at night you see thousands of stars :idea: because its dark.


But the shot was real :laugh:

It is caused by a rainbow effect, right? So there is much less light at night, so it should less bright.

ive seen it happen before through my telescope, when the aircraft passes near the sun the contrail (being made of vapour) causes you to see a rainbow. its just like if you spray a mist with a hose pipe on a summers day.

but i dont see how that could happen at night, when there is no sun?

That's what I mean: it would be caused be street lights and stuff, but it has to be less bright that way.

It's not because the sky is black that it's night. The first picture is taken with a polaroid filter (or polarization, don't know :D ) and the Air China one isn't, nothing more nothing less.
Tot hier en verder

Indeed.

As said earlier. This picture is not fake at all.

The shot was not taken from he ground bu fom another plane during flight.

Next time you are in a plane flying high, look at the sky above you and you'll see that the sky looks very dark up there. When you take pictures you will notice this efect even more.

Real. However, it must have been very humid, as there are those vapour streaks from the wingtips, and it looks more like condensation off the wings than the normal contrails.
