    Will these two be considered similarly ?
    Apart the angle , one is taxiing, the other is taking off.

    D-AIHC. Airbus A340-642. JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    thanks for your time and help

    Yes, likely to be considered similar.

        Guidelines, not necessarily rules. This one is open to interpretation, but as you can tell, in my opinion it's likely to be considered similar.

        • Hi dlowwa

          I'd the following rejected by horizon unlevel https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=7557462. Will 0,5º CCW correct it ?
          When having so many reference , vertical and horizontal and where at the sides probably distortion would foul ourselves... what's the rule of thumb to align it ?
          Are the roff tops ( thus horizontal ) the best reference for alignment ?

          how about this one ? is it ok ? I can see conflicting alignments between the vertical metal sheets in the wall of the structure and the houses in background for instance.
          Since the metal structure seats in the middle of the images ( thus less potential distortion effect ) shouldn't it be the reference for alignment ?

          thanks for your time and help

            No, since it's visible, I'd simply look at the actual horizon. You'll see it's nowhere near level.

            All verticals are leaning right = needs CCW rotation.

            • Thx dlowwa

              How about these two ?

              #1) Trying to align using the fence poles... it would be impossible, because not all of the, are in sync... ( looks like a rolling effect )
              So I choose to align by the tiny roof top, plus the "horizon" of the runway.

              #2) again the poles "aren't in sync" , so I aligned them using the roff top, plus some trees ( the palm tree )

                Horizon should be ok on first one; second has conflicting verticals, but I'd rely more on the structure in the background than the fence, in which case is also looks ok to me.

                    1. dark, oversharpened
                    2. borderline dark

                      well.. I'm getting "dark" photos, even on photos that supposed to be dark ... I'm still in the bottom of the learning curve here.
                      thx

                        Silhouette shots still need to be exposed properly. Aircraft doesn't have to be bright, but the whole frame can't be really dark either.

                          Ah.. didn't knew that. I admit I've darkened it a bit just to have a "better/more defined silhouette". Wrong move then.
                          I realized also that the background/sky isn't the best , to flat for my taste... not enough sparse clouds ... but better dawns will come
                          So, here's another try, with the normal out of the camera light.
                          Are these closer ?

                            Better I suppose, but likely still too dark, especially the first. Better to move on from that one at least and try with better images.

                              Hi dlowwa, I'm assuming you are back, and enjoyed some great vacations.
                              How about these, from a foggy morning ? are they acceptable ?
                              Thx for your time and help

                                1, 2, 4 very likely contrast rejections; 3 likely dark rejection.
