ive been trying so hard to try and get my pictures level but finding it difficult to think about that whilst also thinking about geting a good shot with good angles etc, practice makes perfect i guess!

cheers for looking.

Do what I do.....leave a bit of space around them when you take them,
and then sort them out in photoshop !!!!
It really is the easiest way.

Got any more of the Arizona Commanders jet - that is NICE!

For leveling, use the level horizons tool in Photoshop. These are a LOT better than your Coningsby(?) ones on the previous board, so well done for that, a lot of effort obviously gone into getting the shot straight in the camera. Still a tiny bit of uneven horizons (which might not be your fault, I get a bit on ALL my ground photos :lol: ). Just add a tweak of Level Horizon in Photoshop and you are sorted! :thumb:

Yep
If you have Photoshop...there is a technique you can use to level your horizons pretty good (without doing it manually by degrees of turn).

Open up your image in Photoshop.
Select the Ruler Option on the Tools
Draw a line with the ruler along your horizon or the background you wish to want horizontal.
Then, go up into the Menu at the top of the programme (where FILE, EDIT, IMAGE, etc is) and select IMAGE then > Image Rotation.
Then select Arbituary and the programme will select the right horizontal flip (degrees) you need.
Click okay and your image will be transfered to the right level.
