good photo, it's a pity that the plane nose
is just too much on the right

I guess Aigle_Dore_83 meant that the picture
is slightly biased towards the right. Weight
and Balance if you will. However, I don't
think adding a little grey sky to the right
(to get the CG more to the center) would
increase the quality in this picture. Also,
going the other way and cropping the left
wing will seriously affect the picture.

jkaiser's - I assumed that's what he meant
too but honestly with this perspective on the
aircraft if I am cropping the photo to
include the whole aircraft there is no way to
avoid a weighted right side balance. It's the
nature of the beast... but that's why in
other shots I close cropped them to the
fuselage and engines so it is more centrally
balanced and offers a different perspective
on the aircraft. The angle of the plane in
the photo is just awkard. There's only so
much you can do and a lot depends on things
out of your control like sunlight, clouds,
reflections from the ground etc. At least one
of the shots in the series should be of the
entire plane and personally I prefer the view
before it passes me than after.. front angle
if you will and in every case with this type
of perspective the right wing will push the
photo's center of gravity over to the other
side. If I was standing further back I'd
probably have a better perspective to work
with but that was not possible. This is
probably what he was referring to actually.
Perhaps if there were more distinct clouds on
the left side of the photo it would work much
better. I'll speak to the cloud Gods and see
what they can do for me next time LOL :-)

From a professional avaition photographers
standpoint, the angle of the shot is very
much acceptable. There are a TON of aviation
photos taken at this angle and they are
perfectly accpetable in most arenas. Just my
two cents worth though.

Michael Davis - AirTeamImages - Thanks. I
agree with you with regards to aviation
photos being more abstract. Planes are in
effect "flying squares" or
"flying rectangles"
(tail-wingtip-nose-wingtip-tail) coming at
you at high speed on an angle depending on
your location. They're going to be in
awkward positions at some point. I think
looking back at them after they fly by is
even more skewed with the tail more
prominent... so it becomes a challenge to
deal with these sorts of issues from a
photographic angle. Aigle_Dore_83 is right in
his comment. It is the next few photos I took
where the plane was better positioned in the
sky that showed a better center of gravity.
Still though I like the photo, it is an A330
after all :-)
