This Iron-age grafitti is notoriously difficult to photograph from the ground.
Please see my Uffington White Horse gallery for a few of my attempts.

So together with my son Richard as pilot, I took to the air whilst the grass

time of day, time of year, approach angle, lens etc etc we might take the perfect
picture one day. At least it's something to aim for.

Meanwhile, this is the first attempt. Here's an alternative showing, in the background,
the Berkshire downs towards Lambourn:
