Re: Opinion, Tips and Improvements

You used 1/4000 at ISO 1600. That didn't help, I'm afraid. Hi! Many thanks for you feedback. Do you have any tips to improve shots like this one? :) Vinicius With that much sunlight coming right at you, a much lower ISO (100) is to be preferred (to avoid high-ISO noise) You shot it at f8, 1/4000 IS...

Heys guys.

Do you think this kind of shot worth a try to edit and send to A.net? It`s from my personal collection...never tried to edit and upload before one of this kind.



Thanks

Re: Pre-screen request

The angle (plane taking off, away from me) and the F5.6 caused it, I'd say. I'll go up to f8 at least, next time! On a sunny day like that, I would indeed always go f8. As for the image, the top of the tail looks funny. It's got a blue edge just like the sky color and I suspect you made an error du...

Hello guys, I am looking forward to hearing your opinions on these two pics http://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/7/0/1/4688107.jpg?v=v4cb6524c3f9 ( CA B744 ) http://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/9/6/0/4688069.jpg?v=v47ce006bc16 ( MU A333 ) Thank you for your time !

Re: Pre-screen

I'm not familiar with that function, as I don't use Lightroom. However a quick search tells me that that is a function to reduce hazy skies, not heat haze? Not so much hazy skies, more like "haze in general", but no, not heat haze. It's mostly used to reduce the haze you get in very stron...

Re: Pre-screen

Your version is quite badly hazed, which is a major bummer. Honestly I think it has tough odds for getting accepted. I take your word for it (looking at it on a Chromebook, not very well known for their great displays :-) ) but just out of curiousity: would a 'dehaze' in Lightroom make it more acce...

Re: Pre-screen

Hey guys, I've got a very rare plane that I shot a month ago. You can't find this plane shot from this angle on the internet. I like the shot, according to the histogram there's no overexposure. I'm not behind a very good monitor so I can't 'judge' it much further (as if my opinion would matter any...

I would try it at 1200 pixels since it will mitigate the blurriness at the front of the aircraft. Re. downsizing, I find that resizing in steps (full size to 1600 pixels and then to 1200 pixels) does not cause jaggies.

Re: Pre-screen request

Wow, thanks guys, much appreciated!

Here's my final attempt, sized at 1400 pixels.

The 'softness' at the very end (nose) of the aircraft is my own fault. The angle (plane taking off, away from me) and the F5.6 caused it, I'd say. I'll go up to f8 at least, next time!

Thanks for the feedback and info guys.

We can look into some additional skins or color combos once we get up to speed.

Re: Pre-screen request

Hi BB072, seems that you are a AMS-spotter. If you need any help with editing or shooting tips let me know. Would love to help. Indeed the original needs to be sharp enough. Can`t judge if that`s the case here. It looks pretty oversharpened. If your first rejection was soft/blurry than it might hav...

Re: Pre-screen request

Thanks all for your responses! I made a new edit, exposure down -0.1 EV, re-cropped, sharpening down to "barely sharpened" and exported the file in 1920 pixels wide format (I believe that if you downsize a large original "too far", the 'jaggies' will show up sooner, maybe that's ...

Re: Pre-screen request

Thanks for your remarks. What I didn't mention (not on purpose, just forgot it) is that this image has been rejected earlier, with reasons "Blurry Soft". So I sharpened it a 'tad' more... Maybe too much this time.

Pre-screen request

Hi all, As a newbie on the site I'm still trying to figure out how to edit images in such a way that they will be accepted. I looked through the photos on this site and sometimes I "get it" why an image is accepted or rejected and sometimes I just "don't see it". Maybe I need new...

Re: airlines weighing passengers ?

That would be great! More kids and families able to fly! Tugg Oh. Yeah. Right. Kids. About that... :-) I agree, families and kids are welcome, but you DO get charged extra if your kid is under 2 years old and has a habit to cry 55 minutes in an hour. That extra money is then to be used for extra bo...

With a car, according to google maps, thats 5h 5min with one toll and one ferry-ride.

Re: airlines weighing passengers ?

A 6'6" person can never be a 100lbs like a 5'2" person can be. That's how it's discriminatory. On average a taller person is penalized in a weight-fare system. With that in mind, we (Dutchies) could sue every airline "all the time". Space in Economy is barely enough for us, we p...
