size comparisons
I wish I had given this some forethought…
When I went to the airport on May 1, the intent was to obtain photos of the Antonov An-225, the world’s largest cargo jet, departing. Unfortunately, it never occurred to me to set-up a camera on a tripod to obtain images of different aircraft types with an identical focal length. Had I been ahead of the game, I could then simply provide side by side images showing the relative size differences of each type in comparison to the An-225.
Instead, I took each image freehand and from slightly different positions. However, by using trees in the background, I was able to scale the different images (each with a different focal length) to produce a similar result. Behold: a DC-9 vs. a 747 vs. the An-225.
