Level Or Unlevel, That Is The Question

Sat Sep 13, 2008 4:30 pm

How much rotation (CW or CCW) would you apply to this shot? Thought I had it right the first time but I just can't seem to eyeball it...

(shot is compressed quality, only seeking leveling input)

Thanks,
Chris

Hi.
To me, a little bit CW will be fine and a tighter crop if you're planning to upload.
But the ground stuff might "kill it". Still a nice angle and a nice sky.

Tigher crop is a given. I was only seeking input on rotation, hence why the full size image is included.

rotation

I opened it on PS elements and did a 1,85 points rotation to the right and the gear seems leveled. Perhaps editing the photo and asking on the pre-screen topic might help.

Rotated 1.85 CW. Thanks for the help.

Thoughts?

Looks leveled to me. The horizon line in the back looks fine. A few years ago I had a similar photo with a 330 from LTU and the more I looked at the photo the less I could see if it was leveled or not after rotating CW and CCW. After several editions I finally uploaded one and got accepted, but it really seems that the photo was playing tricks with my brain  confused  .
Good luck with yours. It's a very nice angle.

Chris,

I'm inclined to think it needs even more CW rotation. I am basing that on the flat-bed vehicle, which appears to be parallel to the line of sight and nearly along the LOS. If so, I would expect it to appear level, but it is not.

Marty -

Thanks, I'll revisit the shot in the morning when I have the time.
