It would seem there has been a press launch for the new DLR stock.

The guy on the right, has he been photoshopped in, has he got an
oddly-proportioned head or am I hallucinating?

Ian Brown - don't know. I thought Ken looked like a cardboard cut out.
The angle of the photo is very odd indeed - I suspect the photographer
was pinned against the platform end barriers!

They hold banner with text "50% more capacity", but the picture shows
100% increase :-|

Quite large: I noticed how slow they were loading... The first one is
"4952.73 kB (5071591 bytes)". Let this be a warning to people who
think it is cool to have an 8 or 10 megapixel camera: You get no
significant added detail, you just get a huge huge huge file that no
one wants. Stick to 4/5 megapixel.

You're right - someone didn't think it through. Or perhaps it is
deliberately misleading.

They are nice pictures, especially the one with Canary Wharf in the
background. They suffer from what I call Tales-of-the Unexpected
light, a grim sunshine that makes everything grey, like in the TV
series. If there had been some strong sunshine that would have been a
great photo, even with the portakabins.

I have measured it and it seems to be 50% larger than a normal head.

That's because Ian Brown is nearest to the camera! It's a wide-angle shot
taken close to the train and the people, so you get that sort of distortion.

Re your comment in another post about 10 megapixel images: They do have
their uses. For example, in this case you can see from the shape of the dot
over the 'i' in 'capacity' that it's in New Johnston Book at a large size,
contrary to the TfL design rules. (The dot is about 20 x 20 pixels, at
which size it's possible to see that it has concave sides to the diamond, a
feature of New Johnston Book that is not supposed to be readily visible. The
rules say that NJ Book should not be used at larger sizes than 12-point.
New Johnston Light should be used instead.)
