Yeah I'm not sure I entirely buy it.  In order to capture the photo like that with the bomb right before impact and no blur, for as fast as that thing moves, you'd need a shutter speed probably at least 1/2000 I would guess.  I don't know personally since I've not photographed a JDAM or some other equivalent on its way to the target.  But it's gotta be moving fast.  In order to get that picture, with it moving so fast, AND no blur, shutter speed has got to be damn fast.    Most likely there would be some blur.

So you're telling me someone just happened to be there that day at the right place, right time PLUS had a good reasonably high megapixel camera AND had a high shutter speed all set and ready at the precise moment?  Not to mention some others posted a follow up of a rather small explosion, so I'm not convinced.

You do understand that the IAF actually has been *calling* the owners of targeted buildings so they can vacate before the bombs land, right?

Might that have something to do with how this sequence of photos were taken?

Neat photo.  It's passing overhead though, headed down the street, not falling straight down into the intersection, and it does look like the cloud got bigger.

From the Daily Mail article: Some Palestinians are so accustomed to aerial strikes they knew the tactics employed by the Israelis - three smaller missiles fired to warn anyone too close to the target zone, followed by one from a fighter jet to destroy the building

Yup.  When I was using a film based 35mm SLR (in the 80's), I used to buy Ektachrome by the roll.  In a year in Alaska I probably took a couple thousand or so pictures, had maybe ten or so really good ones.  Can't say any were great photos.

Fuck Cpl. Upham, and his bitch ass. As a Jew I know there are no boundaries that "Hahas" will cross in order to kill, or make Israel look like baby killing aggressors. Israel is under constant attack in more ways than one, and the media often makes us look like we enjoy it.

So why are you saying that this series of photos is a contrived effort by many people?  Often, the simplest solution is the correct answer: i.e., these are actual pictures of a strike.

They are rebels fighting against Assad.  I don't give a shit if they were doctors, lawyers, and rock stars.  Just in case you've never been to Syria or Lebanon, EVERYONE is heavily armed and you can buy whatever you want almost anywhere.
