This article will make you rage and lol a few times. Its about a moran who goes to Syria with his Rabbel 1100D.

I'm pretty sure he even posted here at one time, asking for camera advice before going to Libya.

Look at the exif. He shots in 'Landcape' mode

and this gem
>Assad’s jets began following our taxi, which prompted one of the reporters I was with to take a photo with his flash.
>The pilot responded by swooping back around and firing two missiles at us on the highway.
>The taxi driver was screaming at the guy who took the photo, and I thought he was going to burst into tears.

In the comments section, there is a response from guy in the taxi who supposedly took the photo. The camera that fired on-board flash at the Jet? A fucking D3.

Either I'm grossly underestimating jets these days or those idiots are grossly overestimating them but a flash from a car is not going to make a pilot bomb you any more than not using flash, nevermind the fact the cameras in question have no flash. To a person in a jet, a car is this little box that moves. If he gets close enough to discern whether you are flashing at him, he's too fucking close to the ground and has other things to worry about than your car.

Just stupid exaggeration by an idiot.

Driven by ego.
Motivated by fame.
Skilled at nothing.

Yeah, that was the only good part pretty much.

The whole article is such a waste, it offers no insight to the situation what so ever.
He was there, in the shit, and he did fuck all with it.
