Eh... Sometimes, due to insufficient lighting or intended effect, to get a clear image of an object moving at hight speed, your camera has to follow it, leaving the stationary background blurred.

P.S. Ha... I just saw no_name's response.

Yes, its times like this when I am quite certain we are brothers.....Brat!

I thought about the possibility, but I wasn't sure there would be such a drastic difference between foreground and background. Either way, I guess the pic is real, because Deino has it on file.

This kind of background blurring happens all the time, especially with one of those fancy SRL cameras. No object needs to be moving at all and you don't need to move the camera to get this kind of effect. It's all about camera tricks. With an SRL camera, you can focus on one object and intentionally blurring on everything else in view.

What you are talking about is called depth of field. A camera shooting at a large aperture captures a low depth of field, which means that only a narrow depth is in focus while the rest becomes blurred. However this becomes highly apparent only when the difference in distance is large between the subject and its background under normal circumstances unless a macro lens is used.

In the picture being discussed, the background blur is caused by a slow shutter speed while the camera pans along with the moving object, (J-10) the moving object remains clear while the background becomes blurred due to a long exposure time. This can happen regardless of the type of camera being used and is a product of a panned shot on a moving object with a slow shutter speed.

2003 should come out later this month.

That means 4 J-20 prototypes !

 

[hardware]

will 2003 and 2004 incorporate radar and sensor?likely.minor external redesign..? not sure.

"Should" ?? ... should in the meaning "I hope or I expect" or in the meaning "some reports by big shrimps say so" !?

... any why four ??? Do You include the static test bird as well ?

It's moderately likely that there are more than just the known number of flying prototypes. Some may simply bear the same number just for disinformation.

To admit even if this surely a possibility, I don't think so ! Maybe simply call it a "strange feeling" but given the limited openess with what we see J-10's observed at CAc, we rarely see J-10B - at least not as many new birds as I would love to see - I really don't think that there are more than the current known two prototypes 2001 + 2002 + a static airframe. I think the dreams of "several" more flying from a remote airbase or even additional ones all carrying 2001 and/or 2003 numbers are simply fan-boys dreams since then we would see a rather higher mission rate of flying J-20s and not the ones we know, which could be easily explained with the two birds we know.

It's fanboys' speculative fantasy.

 

[Hyperwarp]

What are the major changes expected in 2003? Is their a redesign in the wings, intakes etc?
