He was not as close as you think - he had a reasonable zoom lens.

You know this how ?

Look at the pix - first one obviously on a reasonably high zoom
setting and a long way from the aircraft. Trained eye can pick this
even without resorting to EXIF.

Obviously ?

How well versed are you in photography.

Telephoto lenses are well-known for low depth of field ( physics here - not
lens quality ), yet the terminal buildings in the distance are in reasonably
good focus.

Sure doesn't look like a telephoto setting to me.


Maybe on its wide-angle setting.

Second one yes - but he is still nowhere close to the actual aircraft.
And there are at least two pair of large boots packing heat
immediately behind the black SUV to guarentee he ain't gonna get much
closer.

Maybe the OP can enlighten us ?
