[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1274575, member: 30902"] I found out the hard way that it's really hard to tell at 100yds. On a calm day use a stringline plumb bob at a couple of hundred yards or a perfectly plumb utility pole. Even the edge of a building's corner at 200yds or more will give you a much better picture. Another I came up with is to use a long carpenter's level to draw a plumb line on an 8' piece of plywood that's set square and plumb to the ground. Darn nice shooting either way and the angle of the photo may well be what I'm seeing. The plumbline method is something I learned here and it really works well. [/QUOTE]
