Very nice, great light you got there. I'd say that the 2nd needs a little more anti-clockwise rotation though.

Given the slope of the hill at Brize I'd say it wants clockwise if anything.

Last shot is a belter, taking the approach lights as being level then a ccw rotation of 0.13 degrees would be in order.

Very low and Fast!!!

Oddly enough, if I was going to straighten anything, it would be the first one - which to my eyes, has just the slightest hint of "rolling downhill" about it...but they are both stunning images...

Mike,

First one is a belter. Tremendous light indeed.

I guess your shots are the first of things to come watching this weeks forecast.

Thanks all for the comments, I'm glad it isn't just me who can't decide which way it should be rotated!.

Cheers,
Mike
