I'm gonna go out on a limb here but...I believe those intakes are actually the same size and it is, in fact, camera lens distortion and the angle of the shot that is causing the illusion. Look closely at the Air Force "Star" emblem and how it's stretched in the "bomb bay doors open" shot.I'm just sayin'.
A couple more of my favorite models.............
I like your humming bird pictures, here's one of mine.Did you use a camera lens or use a digiscope?
I don't even know what a digiscope is
In those last two shots of the Raptor, I notice that the port air intake appears larger than the starboard intake. I believe they're adjustable - at least they were on jets I am familiar with from my Airforce days, to ensure the shock wave occurred early enough to keep the airflow through the compressor subsonic - but I can't imagine a situation where it was appropriate to have one distinctly different from the other.I find it difficult to believe it is just due to the varying perspective, but...
The jet was a good distance away I was shooting 400mm on a crop sensor (Canon 7D = 640mm) and the picture was chopped 70-80%, also got a cool look underneath with the bomber doors open.
OMG, that is awesome. Piranha eaten by Croc! Live by the sword...
