I'm glad you were the first to post that, otherwise someone being serious would've got Dutch's toaster...
HA! ...well I wasn't going to mention that (coughspartanbatcough) but hey, I'll take what I can get. That at least confirms its a POSSIBLE camera angle... unless you want to say right now it's in...
Also, for those nitpicky folk, there's DEFINITELY more than one variety of shoe in the game. You can see at least two options, with a possible third in the field (too hard to tell).
Regarding the Media Centre windows, the angle is reflecting the sky from what it looks like in the screens, so I imagine at a higher (non-ground) angle, it'll be darker. I think it's just the reflection on the windows bouncing back the bright-blue sky. Resolution seems a little high in the images too, so it could also be that as well.
