FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

Most people can lay claim to having seen the occasional fish making a dramatic leap out of the water for food.
But rarely has the moment been captured in as extraordinary detail as these incredible pictures show.
These stunning images of a baby trout leaping from the water to catch flies were captured in just 10,000th of a second.
Incredible: This picture of a baby trout leaping from the water to catch flies was captured in just 10,000th of a second by photographer Kim Taylor
Using a purpose-built 3,500 volt flash and an infrared beam, wildlife photographer Kim Taylor managed to show what happens when you hear that ‘plop’ sound on rivers up and down the UK.
In a David Attenborough-esque piece of manipulation Mr Taylor has used an ingenious studio setup to replicate a moment almost impossible to witness in the wild.
He took an ordinary three-foot by three-foot fish tank and rigged up a sophisticated camera.
He meticulously trained the young fish – only three or four inches long – to leap from the tank using bait dangled above them.
Then when the fish got the hang of it, the talented photographer rigged up an infrared beam directed just under the unlucky bait.
On hand to capture the action was a Hasselblad Swedish film camera – the same as used by astronauts on the moon – ready to take his out-of-this-world images.

Mr Taylor, 79, who runs his own studio called Warren Photographic, then took his images of the leaping trout and combined them with backdrops of a local stream – creating a stunning effect.
He said he wanted to be able to illustrate an event happening every day on Britain’s rivers, ponds and streams but which no one could ever see in such detail.
He said: ‘The photograph of the young trout jumping for the dragonfly above the stream was actually taken in the studio and then combined with a photo of a local stream.
‘The photograph with the lens part submerged was again an outside backdrop combined with a studio image, but the effect is something you can’t replicate in the wild.

‘Finally the shot from above the young trout is actually all in the studio and gives you an idea of surroundings we had to operate.’
The BBCs Frozen Planet’s footage of baby polar bears with their mother actually shot in a German zoo caused outrage last month.
But Mr Taylor insisted their is a place for manipulation in order to illustrate a behaviour simply not recordable in the wild.
He said: ‘I think people in the know would have understood that you could not get those kind of shots in the wild.
‘With these pictures I am trying to show a moment millions of us will have experienced when we hear a ‘plop’ sound in a river or stream, these pictures just show what happens in that moment.
‘Because our eyes simply are not fast enough to be able to see it for ourselves, we usually just end up seeing the resulting ripples.’

I would agree with Taylor’s suggestion that there is a place for this kind of photography if the headline mentioned fake photos, and were not phrased to encourage the reader to believe these pictures are for real. People need to come to terms with the fact many of the pictures carried by newspapers, and especially on television, are nothing more than figments of imagination, with little or no bearing on real life. Such illusions are simple with a PC programme and deserve little or no recognition.

Fantastic shots and artistry. Who cares if manipulation is involved? The photographer is up front about it. Those whining about this point must lead very dismal lives indeed.

Hasselblad camera is not Swedish, but Swiss. Surely, anyone in journelism should know that? Clever and ingenious photographer.

WOW !!!……..Now that’s what I call an AMAZING shot! OK its photoshopped by his own admission….but the end result is well worth it !

It is a fake and thereby spoils the hard work of those people who try all their lives to take photographs of vents actually happening. No better than a photoshopped picture of a model or actress in a glossy mag. Its not the picture but the genuine realism that is important.

I have seen a massive pike leap out of the Leeds and Liverpool canal at Saltaire and snaffle a duckling.
