Great selection of bizzjets! Love the Eurocopter!

But please... level you shots a bit... it looks like you were a tiny bit drunk... Wink

And what is that white stuff? Snow or a heap of cotton-balls?

Kris, I have a real problem with that, I tend to try to level the aircraft, something I have to concentrate more on! I'm am not real good with Photoshop, but I am going to have to learn if I can't level the camera. Mark

Psst... I often to have this sort of tilted shots, although it's not so bad as with my Lumix.

Just rotate the picture in photoshop. I'm translating from my dutch version:

tab image - in the menu choose rotate - next menu choose - own or custom - just enter the amount of degrees that seems suitable.

Afterwards I check if it's level, by making a rectangular selectionbox and comparing one of the horizontal lines with a line that should be level in the shot ( ex. runway). If it's still no good, repeat the sequence... Wink

Once your shot is level, crop is to get nice level borders again.

Looks way more professional afterwards... Grin

Thanks Kris, I always thought the rotate button was to turn the picture 90 Degrees. It was very easy in Microsoft Office Picture manager, and I also did it in Adobe Photoshop, but in Adobe, you use the straighten tool and draw a line across the picture and it levels it to that line.

Thanks for the help and I have alot of pictures that need fixed.

Excellent!

I use photoshop elements, so I wouldn't know about that line-thing. Sounds easy though.

Thanks for asking Sean, I was about frozen taking pictures of the Biz jets , when he came back I was sitting warm and comfortable in the Flight school. These solo's have taken forever, the way the weather is in Pittsburgh, and he can only fly on weekends (because of school), and they want the conditions almost perfect. its been almost 6 months to get his 3 cross county solo's. Now yesterday he did a regular lesson ( to practice maneuvors), I think he does one more practice lesson, then the FAA for his PPL. He should have it shortly. Then he starts Instrument. Mark
