The photograph in the sunday magazine was in colour also, and the creature's skin was this curiously silver-colour.

My revised opinion is th...I have changed my mind! <br /><br />My revised opinion is that it is only slightly faked, and it "is" Loch Ness. There is a "wild camping" spot at 57.1713N, 4.6438W and the photo is looking south from there. The object is about 2 degrees below the horizon and the camera height is about 5 feet a.w.l. so the object is no more than about 43 metres away and no more than 0.64m or 25" high. This assumes no horizontal cropping; the more cropping there is,and the lower the camera was, the smaller and nearer the object becomes. <br /><br />The article reads "A long brown neck pokes out of the still waters of Loch Ness", however the neck isn't particularly brown and the waters are not still. The neck is mostly pale and looks like it started out as a female Great Crested Grebe, Podiceps cristatus. In fact the neck is much paler than anything else in the photo which leads me to think the >print< may have been altered. The RAF expert is reported to have examined the >negatives<. It is possible that the >prints< were altered and then copied at a minilab to produce the dodgy version as published, while the RAF were shown the original negatives of the bird. In any event, it is just a silly season story as the headline points out.Dick Raynorhttp://www.lochnessinvestigation.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-59863505178100207522013-02-08T09:16:48.038-08:002013-02-08T09:16:48.038-08:00IMO that's a human hand poking out of the wate...IMO that's a human hand poking out of the water. The bending on the neck corresponds perfectly with the placement of the wrist, and the 'eye' is placed just in the curvature between the thumb & index finger.Red Pill Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14738203580562140501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-56203269780033509922013-02-06T14:14:42.571-08:002013-02-06T14:14:42.571-08:00Hmmm.

We holiday in Fort Augustus every year and it is definitely not the north shoreline that is in the photo. I will have to see if there is anything like that on the southern shoreline within the first few miles of the village. It's a bit surprising that none of the other photos were included.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-6147742965574808512013-02-06T09:33:13.534-08:002013-02-06T09:33:13.534-08:00Hi G.B. and Dick,

What do they mean by a "genuine photograph" or not "tampered with or touched up"? <br /><br />Does this expert opinion exclude the possibility that the photographer took some loch pictures, overlaid an acetate Nessie and rephotographed the photo? How easy is that with a 110 film? <br /><br />The other important factor is the other three images, what could they tell us?<br /><br />Another often overlooked item is the photographs taken before and after the sequence. If those show Loch Ness scenes before and after that would strengthen the case that the the pictures were taken at the loch at the stated time.<br /><br />All speculation until we see the other pictures.<br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-28517195578648699842013-02-05T02:53:20.622-08:002013-02-05T02:53:20.622-08:00Hmm does look 'wrong' to me straight away ...Hmm does look 'wrong' to me straight away & is that an eye on the zoom in ? the object seems to stand out from the rest of the picture as though added on & re-photographed ?? would be great to find the person involved for an updated interview .<br />great work (yet again)fantastic blog <br />bodge from suffolknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-31629639818962421682013-02-04T09:28:48.778-08:002013-02-04T09:28:48.778-08:00Even in this low quality image, I would have to sa...Even in this low quality image, I would have to say fake. The object presumed to be Nessie appears to be in a different focus than its surroundings. That is a minor point as it could be a result of the poor quality of the image, BUT, there are bright highlights on the object as if strongly lit, while the rest of the photo shows no such illumination, and the visible sky is obviously clouded over.Henry Patersonhttp://www.ghosttheroy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-64071313538189222092013-02-04T03:16:13.348-08:002013-02-04T03:16:13.348-08:00Thanks for the lead, perhaps the NOTW has another ...Thanks for the lead, perhaps the NOTW has another still so I will check for that.<br /><br />Glasgow Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597014995112568086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-67671706376123693752013-02-04T03:11:12.967-08:002013-02-04T03:11:12.967-08:00Whoa!, GB, this was the very photograph that I men...Whoa!, GB, this was the very photograph that I mentioned to you about last year on one of your articles. Great find, but I remember seeing this picture NOT in the Daily Mail but in the News of the World 'Sunday' magazine, attached to an article about Steve Feltham's beginning 'Nessie Hunter' career. The guy who took these photographs says he took up to four pictures - but I presume this photo was the only one published by the tabloids. I swear the one I saw in the 'Sunday' magazine showed something very similar to this but you could actually see little stubby horns on the top of the creatures head. One thing that struck me about this picture is the silvery sheen of the creature's skin. Can't make up my mind as to whether the picture is actually real though.jimmy_sher72https://www.blogger.com/profile/16123798050799717911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-9432068830876718902013-02-03T15:18:28.239-08:002013-02-03T15:18:28.239-08:00That's an interesting pic!
