Hey guys,

I took these sometime ago over the CA desert (click on them for larger version)

I love the B757 winglet and desert below as the plane was turning. Unfortunately, I only had my compact camera with me that day and I don't think the quality is great. Do you think I can save any of them?

Thanks for any help / opinions.

Tony

PS I only did minimal editing on them: scaling, a bit of contrast, and a bit of sharpening.

I think the first one is great, despite the fact that you were shooting with a p&s camera. It looks nice with the winglet in the center of the shot. You'll have to get advice from someone else quality-wise.

I personally like the photos but think sky looks abit weird....

Motive may be problem though.

The ONLY reason I don't think these two will make it is the haze/motive. If this had been a clear view to the surface and the surface was sharp it would be a 'serviceable' shot. Great shot, but the conditions were not good enough.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the comments.

Do you think I can maybe fix that with some selective sharpening?

I doesn't matter. The only difference between certain point and shoot cameras and the more expensive DSLRs is that with the latter you can use big lenses and you have a better control on certain parameters. Point and shoot acmeras have certain advantages : small, compact (I usually bring one with my during flights) and usually (beginning from the 6 megapixel and going up) shoot almost "ready to upload" shots, if you use them correctly.
Anyway : I like the first one and I''d have atry with that one. Haze is a problem there, but I would give it a chance anyway. Best luck.

Ciao

1st one might be ok with some extra sharpning on the wing. The second probably won't due to motive.

For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and ther
