RE: Centered?

Continuing this thread. Had the second shot of my session rejected at second screening for contrast and level. Any ideas? Didn't know it had to be level when there's no horizon. The planes do land with a slight nose up angle obviously, which this photo shows. Can I do anything about the contrast stu...

RE: Centered?

Yeah I believe it's 300, I haven't actually found the number in Photoshop but I recall that 300 is default setting isn't that right? And I haven't changed the resolution.

RE: Centered?

Yeah, centered was the only reason. The jpg compression is strange, because I shot this one raw, and worked it in photoshop.

Centered?

Obviously not! However I don't know in which direction I should move it. IMO it's quite centered, maybe a tiny bit too high in the frame.

RE: Cloudy Shots, Any Chance?

Allright, sorted out the most special ones. They are not edited at all, only transfered from RAW to jpg and resized for web. They need cropping, sharpening, a touch of contrast, I'm all aware of that, but are the originals "special" enough to justify a place here? The Stirling would be the first for...

Spent yesterday shooting at cph, but the weather Gods were against me and the day was overcast from dusk to dawn.

RE: Your A.net "goals" For 2008

Very modest goals. Would like to bring my number of photos up to atleast ten, have four at the moment. This took me the better part of six months so patience is likely to be my friend in achieving my goals.

RE: Photo Editing Help

I use quality "fine" which is 3000-2000 on my D70S or therabouts atleast. Use as good quality as possible and then resize and crop on the computer. Lowest compression and highest resolution is the best way. Then you can always work the rest later, and this gives you more to work with. I will probabl...

RE: Photo Editing Help

Don't know much about that camera I'm afraid. I had a small long zoomer before and it produced ok pictures but not much more. Of course technology has evolved since. Anyway, you need better light and probably shorter shutter speed, that will reduce blurryness alot. Use spot measuring if you can set ...

RE: Photo Editing Help

It's blurry, don't think there's much to do about it. If you try and sharpen it you need to do it only on the blurry parts. The one you had rejected was terribly grainy in the sky from all the sharpening. It needs to be cropped closer too. Best advice though is to scrap this shot, the quality isn't ...

RE: Beginner Camera

Sure but a DSLR has a broader field of use I'd say since you can change lenses for what you plan on doing and you don't have to get it all at once.

RE: Beginner Camera

Remember that you will need a decent telephoto lens for aircraft photography. You should be fine with 200mm if you can get somewhat close to the action but it depends on the layout of the airport where you will be doing your photographing. You could also hava look at used Nikon D70 or D50's. They sh...

A DSLR is probably what you are looking for. Doesn't have to cost a fortune, but can if you want the best lenses and most advanced cameras. A Canon 400D or a Nikon D80 should be good enough, even a D40 could be a decent option if money is tight. You want a zoom lens of maybe 70-200 or even 300 if yo...

RE: Can This Be Saved?

Will be really difficult to make the plane bright enough because it's quite underexposed. The background is already very bright so I think this shot will not make it.

RE: Getting Rid Of The Jaggies

The normal procedure would be to sharpen on a duplicate layer with unsharp mask. Then erase the jaggies that appear from sharpening with the eraser tool. I've done it for quite a while and it was a long time since I had a jaggies rejection. Plenty of other reasons, but not jaggies.

The F4 has severe graining issues on the wheels, especially the rear ones. And also in other dark places like in the air intakes. It's also a little soft around the intakes and on the extra fuel tank below the plane. The sky looks awesome until I zoom in and see the grain. I'm no expert that's for s...

RE: LAX Imperial Hill Tips For A Newbie

I have the same type of lens and I can only say that while it's quite cheap and decently sharp I've never managed to produce a good image at close to 300mm and I've been using it for about 1Ã‚Â½ years now. Imo it works best below 250 and you might stretch that even down to 220.
