RE: When Is It OK To Take Pictures In The Plane?

There's no need to analyse this so closely. Just relax, start taking photos whenever there's something worth taking a photo of, and if you get told not to use your camera - fine, turn it off without an argument. But nine times out of ten the FAs couldn't care less. The only times I'd bother being di...

RE: Your Fav Shot Of The Year

2007 has been about quality, not quantity. I've barely had time to go to the airport and shoot at all, but what I have managed to squeeze in has been good.

RE: Acceptable For A Panning Shot?

With some judicious noise reduction you should have no problem fixing up the grain in the background. The aircraft itself has a slight blurry look to it, though, so I would probably downsize to 1024. Also, some CCW rotation is needed.

Should be a go-er after that!

RE: For Level? Really?

It could use even a bit more CCW rotation; about 0.4 degrees I'd guess, just eyeballing it. Your main reference should be the two pillars on either side of that yellow biplane.

I actually uploaded an identical shot (angle, at least) some time ago. It was rejected for motive.

Give it a try though. The quality looks a bit questionable, so I'd step down to 1024. Also, you should re-crop so that the aircraft is further left in the frame.
