@Simon for you to take such a picture (was it taken in Afghanistan or Iraq?) you need a special kind of lens to capture the objects
clearly.
If you take a look at the background, the objects are in motion. With your normal phone camera, you can't take such kind of a picture with precision because this means you must shoot ahead of the object in order to get the full view of them (objects) Have you ever wondered how photographers take pictures of footballers? There are various way to make the best out of the shooting. One of which is to have a camera that allows you to make many shots continuously without the need to wind the shutter.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!
