Question

In which of the following aerial photographs the horizon appears?

Options

• Vertical

• Near-vertical

• Low-oblique

• High-oblique

Answer 1

High-oblique

Explanation:

High-oblique photographs are taken when the camera axis is intentionally inclined at a steep angle (typically about 60° from the vertical). This angle allows for a wide area of the earth’s surface to be captured and crucially, includes the horizon in the frame.
