Pre Screen Feedback Please

ChrisLait · Fri Sep 21, 2018 12:52 pm

Thanks Kas. I’ll pull back the sharpness in these areas and put into my screening queue.

Excellent light, looks good to me except there might be halo's around the bottom of the fuselage/landing gear, but unable to judge on my work screen.

Thanks .. I'll make sure I look at these too!

Another one at from the same day as the last one but towards the end of sunset. I have pulled the orange back a bit but need opinions as to should I pull it back some more.

Also I think it may be low in frame a little????

Thanks
Chris

I'm not entirely sure on color... I want to say it may be acceptable but I think you should wait for another comment.

Framing looks ok IMO.

dutchspotter1 · Sat Sep 22, 2018 12:40 pm

Framing and colors look OK to me, considering that it's near sunset.
It does look a little oversharped though.

ChrisLait · Sun Sep 23, 2018 6:33 am

Thanks Guys. I'll have a look at the sharpening and look to add into screening

After a couple of unexpected rejections I finally made it to 100!

A huge thanks to all the regulars on this forum that have helped me to improve right from picture 1!

This is the one that made 100 ...

Nice work, congrats!

Hi All

Just after some feedback on this Air Canada Dreamliner. Never quite sure about a white aircraft on grey skys.

Thanks as always
Chris

airkas1 · Wed Oct 03, 2018 11:32 am

Histogram adjustments based on that edit:
left slider + 15
middle slider +20
right slider to 240

Should be good to go then.

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 04, 2018 12:14 pm

Thanks Kas. Do you think this edit is any better?

airkas1 · Thu Oct 04, 2018 12:29 pm

Looks better, yes!

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 04, 2018 12:42 pm

Thanks Kas. Appreciate the help :-)

Hi all

Just after a bit of feedback on this Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 taken at an airshow this week. It was doing just under 1000km/h in a high speed pass so I am pretty happy to have got what I have .. just after opinions on if it is database standard.

If there is some editing needed, please let me know as I would love to get this into my profile.

Thanks as always
Chris

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 18, 2018 10:17 am

Would this photo be deemed acceptable for the database - both in its composition and quality? Was taken at a recent airshow.

Thanks

airkas1 · Thu Oct 18, 2018 11:04 am

The Hornet is certainly not bad, but looks underexposed. Be careful not to overexpose the sky though.
The 737 is nice from a personal POV, but a bit too distant I suppose.

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 18, 2018 11:16 am

Thanks Kas. I brought the exposure up on the Hornet slightly before adding to my screening queue as I my second thought on it was the same. Hopefully I haven't gone too far.

As for the Wedgetail (737) I have brought the crop in a bit to make it a little closer. Do you feel this helped it chances?

Thanks as always

Unfortunately not really, sorry.

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 18, 2018 12:56 pm

All good. No problem. It’s a nice picture, just not one for here

. Hopefully the warbirds I have in my screening queue are more suitable.

This one was rejected an appealed and rejected again for low contrast. As I can’t appeal an appeal, how much more contrast does it need to be accepted?

Thanks
Chris.

HarryLi · Thu Oct 18, 2018 4:28 pm

Hi Chris,
For the AC B788. As you can see the bottom of the wing and the main gears have slight grey which shows it deserves a little bit contrast. IMO, 15-20 would be enough. As the weather was not very kind, you might be also need to pay attention to the exposure

. Hope can help.

Regards,
Harry

ChrisLait · Fri Oct 19, 2018 11:38 pm

Thanks Harry. I have made the suggested edits and will place back in the queue.

ChrisLait · Thu Oct 25, 2018 9:30 am

Just a quick and huge thanks to this community .. yesterday, one of my photos was selected as a Photographer's Choice which was a huge surprise for me as I still have a lot to learn about taking great shots. A Huge thanks to everyone here who has helped improve my photos since I started adding to the database at the end of last year!!

This is the photo that made it ..

I look forward to shooting more .. and maybe shooting enough good shots to make a featured album or photographer! :-)

.. more pics to come soon!! :-)

Chris

Congrats! PC is always a nice compliment for your work. Keep it up!

Runway28L · Sun Oct 28, 2018 12:51 am

Congrats, Chris! Great photo of the QR A380 :bigthumbsup:

ChrisLait · Sun Oct 28, 2018 3:43 am

Hi. After some feedback on this rejection that I just got for this photo ..

https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/1/8/6/5244681.jpg?v=v4a66af1a394

It was rejected for Blurry, low contrast, colour, quality and soft with a screener message of “yellow color cast”.

I haven’t had so many reasons for rejection in a long time so my question is... is it really that bad and could editing fix it (of course if it’s blurry then no editing will fix)

Just after some opinions.

Thanks
Chris

fsx98 · Sun Oct 28, 2018 3:40 pm

It looks like the blur is bad enough to make the photo unfixable; personally I would downsize any photo affected by any blur that is only minor, but I highly doubt that this would be the case.

Runway28L · Sun Oct 28, 2018 11:06 pm

Definitely blurry and slightly yellow. Seems like it's also backlit a bit.

ChrisLait · Mon Oct 29, 2018 7:13 am

Thanks guys. Much appreciated.

I’ll find another in the sequence that may be more suitable.

ChrisLait · Tue Nov 06, 2018 10:26 am

Hi All

Just after some feedback on these that I took today. They are the same sequence but I cant decide which is better .. or if either of them are good enough at all. I reset my camera settings and forgot to change back to RAW so I am hoping one of them is OK but I need some help. I think Version 1 is the one I would go for but any feedback you have is appreciated.

Version 1

Version 2

Thanks
Chris

airkas1 · Tue Nov 06, 2018 10:43 am

Version 1 should be passable and angle/vortex-wise I like that one better.

ChrisLait · Tue Nov 06, 2018 10:46 am

Thanks Kas. Thats the one I would go for too, just needed another opinion.

ChrisLait · Mon Nov 12, 2018 9:27 am

Hi

Just after some feedback on this one. I haven't done too many below aircraft shots so just curious to see how I went and if it would be acceptable?

Thanks
Chris

airkas1 · Mon Nov 12, 2018 10:55 am

Underexposed, but if you increase, you'll likely blow out the sky. Also not the greatest of appealing angles (but that's personal).

ChrisLait · Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:14 am

Thanks Kas

ChrisLait · Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:22 am

I love this photo however not sure if it acceptable here .. would love it to be in the database if it was .. understand if its not ..

Yep, I agree with you, most likely will be get motive if uploaded. Anyway nice picture!

ChrisLait · Tue Nov 13, 2018 6:47 am

Thanks

. Motive is my concern too unfortunately

airkas1 · Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:23 am

In the current crop it will be motive. If you show the cockpit/more of the most left Spit, then it would have a better chance.

ChrisLait · Tue Nov 13, 2018 9:57 am

Thanks Kas .. I’ll see if the original extends that far back and if so, I’ll re-crop

ChrisLait · Sun Nov 18, 2018 8:10 am

Hi Everyone .. just after some pre-screen feedback on this one please.

Thanks as always
Chris

Runway28L · Sun Nov 18, 2018 6:32 pm

Windowline and rear parts of the aircraft look blurry IMO. There's also some halos around both engines.

airkas1 · Mon Nov 19, 2018 10:31 am

Whole aircraft is slightly blurry. Will not make it, sorry.

ChrisLait · Mon Nov 19, 2018 11:10 am

Thanks guys. All good. I have a couple more in the sequence so will check those out.

ChrisLait · Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:09 am

This is from the same sequence as the one above .. is it any better?

Thanks

airkas1 · Tue Nov 20, 2018 9:28 pm

Better, but the fuselage looks quite soft.

ChrisLait · Wed Nov 21, 2018 6:29 am

Thanks Kas .. I'll see if I can fix it up a bit

ChrisLait · Thu Nov 29, 2018 12:16 pm

Quick question - is the site still experiencing technical issues leading to screening delays? Still have 2 photos from 20/11 screening sitting as "High Quality" "HQ1" and another with the same "High Quality" "HQ1" from screening day 21/11. Hopefully no issues but just checking as it is a little unusual for the queue as I also had 2 other images screened and accepted today from the queue of 23/11.

Thanks
Chris

airkas1 · Thu Nov 29, 2018 1:42 pm

I see VH-VKK/-PRX/-VFN in the HQ. Will try to process them tonight if someone doesn't beat me to it. Are these the photo in question? If not, what are the registrations and upload ID's?
