Not neccessarily, the effective range of a camera flash is less than 50 feet, and it takes a high end flash to do that. However, if you use a reflective panel and the sun you can project light to any angle that is needed for perfect exposure. To do all this would require a lot of time and coordination between the photographer and the subjects.
I still remember when I first watched a photographer working an accident scene. The photogapher told the guy to stand and look at the damage and look sad. The idiot complied and that picture was on the front page the next day. I suspect this is the same type of thing going on here.
Right, it's just staged. Why would they go to the trouble of finding some people and having them look like they are near someone firing and then find a guy firing and painstakingly pasting him in? Just get a real guy firing by a crowd. There are plenty of gunmen around.
Also, there are probably ten photographers lined up taking this shot. He's probably firing at a tree.
Is that the bottom of the magazine below the strap? If so, then it is proof postive that it is faked since the part of the magazine above the strap is missing and the bottom part just floats there.
Could be a single shot, or bolt action...Maybe a pump...
I still say its staged.
^^^^^
So do I!
The fauxtographer could be using another wall for protection.

Nice word. I am going to use it. What real photographer stands in front of a shooter? I'm net even a member of the NRA, and I know that.
I stole it from someone else on this thread. I'm kinda like Victor Kiam in regards to words, "I liked it so much, I took it as my own!"
DEFINITION
The term "Pallywood" refers to the staging of scenes by Palestinian journalists in order to present the Palestinians as hapless victims of Israeli aggression. They are able to succeed in this endeavor in large part due to the credulity and eagerness of the Western press to present these images, which reinforce the image of the Palestinian David struggling valiantly against the overpowering Israeli Goliath. Pallywood has led to astonishing lapses in Western journalistic standards in which badly staged scenes regularly appear on the news as "real events." This page attempts to outline how such lapses could have come about, producing the current situation

There is a lot of noise, but if the shooter has much experience with the gun, he'll be used to it and won't flinch much, and will recover quickly. It just looks to me like the picture was snapped after the action has cycled and he's back on target.
The others will flinch more because they aren't in control. They don't know when the noise is coming. The one on the right may also have hot brass flying in his direction.
Someone also suggested that the shooter is lit from directly above but the rest are lit from the upper right.
Looking at the shooter's left arm, I think he's also lit from the upper right as well.
I also don't know why they would fake a photo of a Palestinian militant firing on the IAF from among unarmed civilians.
However, even when I zoomed in, I couldn't tell for sure if it was a gray magazine or just the light blue shirt of the guy in the background.
However, if would be hard to paste in the guy and not paste in part of the magazine in the process, so I think that it's likely just a gray magazine with a black extender on the bottom.
It looks like it could also be a gray magazine with ribs on it.
The black bottom of the magazine looks larger than it should be. It looks like a mag extender has been put on the bottom of the magazine to increase capacity.
His left hand is on a vertical fore grip.
The picture is too grainy to tell for sure about the mag. But looks to me that the two "wrinkles' on the left are part of a gray magazine. The wrinkles don't really match up with the wrinkles in the shirt that you can see below the gun, but that could just be because of the way the guy in the blue shirt is holding his arm.
Thanks! It's a good thing IDF didn't hurt any of the poor, innocent children gathered around that gunman. Who knows what kind of tizzy the United Nations would've been thrown into, would that have happened...
Dude, get a life.
