Based on my issues with receiving lots of soft & blurry rejections, I'd be interested to hear others' input about monitors with regards to detail/sharpness . I will give a little background of where I'm at and why: I've been editing and uploading photos since 2006 - so I'm not new or one who th...
Jump to postWhat are the growth opportunities for narrow-body long-haul once IB starts to operate the A321XLR? IB & TAP used to have a competitive advantage being able to fly the A319/20 to ACC, SSG, TMS and LOS where other European carriers would need to send widebodies to reach Central and Western Africa...
Jump to postNoise isn't the problem. You're too distant so it's simply down to atmospheric haze, you should get closer and also try during morning/evening when atmospheric/light conditions are better.
Jump to postI use a M1 Mac Mini which is basically the same computer as the M1 Macbook Air in a different form factor and it's way more capable than any of my previous Intel Mac computers, if you can afford it add go for 16GB of RAM.

Jump to postDifferent media reporting that tt looks like Iberia is considering strongly paying the 40m Euros and walking away from the purchase. Not sure if they are serious or if they are playing hardball. Links only in Spanish sorry. https://www.lavanguardia.com/economia/20211105/7840983/iberia-dispuesta-pag...
Jump to postI've had both, 24-120 is good at the wide end but softish beyond 80mm especially at corners but it makes a great walkaround lens for travel as it's quite versatile and not very heavy. AF is good for a lens in this range and VR does a good job too. 24-70 2.8G is excellent but latest Tamron and Sigma ...
Jump to postWhen resizing the image in PS in the resampling option try to use Bicubic (smooth gradients) instead of Bicubic Sharper (reduction) as in some cases that can introduce oversharpening.
Jump to postHi Dylan, Have you used Nikon ViewNX (not sure if the newly released NX studio is able to show this) to check which focus points were used on each frame? While usually DoF isn't a problem in daylight photograph I prefer to just use the 9 focus point option and place them in the center of the frame t...

80-400G has a lot of quality variations between samples, I had one and was never happy with its performance especially from 300mm as it tended to be quite soft for a lens in that price range but I know a couple other people who are happy with it. If you already own a 200-500 I think the 70-200 would...
Jump to postAt least for Nikon cameras the picture control profile used only affects how your out of camera JPG looks like and doesn't affect RAW exposure at all. However if you enable D-lightning, a sort of in-camera HDR feature, it'll cause your RAW to be underexposed around -1EV compared to normal mode. In v...
Jump to postColor me skeptical on this one even if international news agencies are echoing the report coming from elconfidencial. They've been doing this kind of 'scoop' reporting for very long time and in the last few months they've had quite a number of articles on this deal and in many cases just dismissing ...

Jump to postI thought MAD slots were not all that valuable because there's a fair amount of capacity. At certain times of the day it was already at max declared capacity so wasn't possible to get slots, in any case AENA decided to keep the declared capacity under the maximum theoretical capacity just to try to...
Jump to postThey used their pair of 767's to fly to GIG/GRU-EZE, HAV, IAD as scheduled services but also used to do charters to Caribbean destinations so San Juan was probably one of those charters.
Jump to postIberia is simply taking over I2 routes because the pilots agreement is that I2 is capped to 15% of the ASK production and with most of the long haul flying gone this means Iberia needs to take a bigger chunk of the short haul flights.
Jump to postAlso try to do a controlled test at home with another lens ideally using some color checker cards to get a better understanding of how your camera body is behaving. While some lenses can produce some color aberrations this shouldn't be the case with this lens so looks to me more like an issue with t...
Jump to postIt never happened, just going up to the elevated area next to the fence is forbidden to avoid people getting hurt by jetblast from larger jets.
Jump to postNot sure but those chartes have to do with Rally París-Dakar in Saudí Arabia. Not really, those charter flights are part of the Pullamntur Cruises / Royal Caribbean operation and were already operated last winter in the same way that during summer months IB flies to Athens, Bari or a handful of des...
Jump to postWhen discussing Iberia I think that something is fundamentally missed when comparing it to TAP or other european carriers, under IAG there's a strong mandate on profitability and reaching a 15% ROIC target and that's basically why IB tends to be so conservative when it comes to expansion and isn't s...
Jump to postNot sure about traffic patterns but I was able to catch C-130's there doing touch & go's last year and there were a number of them parked on the JSDF side. Feb IMHO is very good for spotting in central Japan as is usually the driest month of the year and it's still cold so heat haze shouldn't mu...
Jump to postThis very same discussion about retina/HiDPI screens been brought several times in the past and I don't think there's any workaround to properly evaluate sharpness other than using a lower PPI screen. Retina/HiDPI have smaller pixels and a higher pixel density so the human eye can't really see the i...
Jump to postIt's really difficult to judge sharpness at such high PPI count, you can try to zoom at 200% in Photoshop but that will bring other issues as each pixel will be a block of 4 pixels in the screen.
From my experience I think you'd better off getting an external monitor that offers around 90-110PPI.
Hi Daniel, D600 isn't great at focusing on low-light situations so while ISO performance should be decent I think you'll struggle with autofocus specially if you're planning on shooting it paired with a f/5.6 lens, personally I'd save for a D750 as that'll give you better value for money and nowaday...
Jump to postAccording to spanish media (https://www.elconfidencial.com/empresas/2019-11-05/iberia-bate-air-france-compra-air-europa-cheque-ingles-expres_2313364/) seems that AF-KLM was quite close to acquire 20% of Air Europa for EUR200M with an option to buy the rest of the airline over the next 5 years and th...

Jump to postYou can see below the slide that Iberia presented outlining the changes in the new 280t variant which I think that are the same that are expected for the ULR version sans the additional fuel capacity.

Jump to postThe 2 A330's are only to fill the gap of the 2 that are now operating for Level, so not really net growth.

Jump to postIberia will receive 2 new A330-200 in early 2018 and also the first 2 A350-900s in June and July so even if a couple of the 4 A340-600s that will have their lease expired during the first half of the year leave the fleet still should allow room for some growth.

Jump to postI've been a few times to landside Food Court on Terminal 1 and no one bothered me about taking photos from there. Glass is sometimes dirty with sand and slightly tinted but still workable.
However you'll only be able catch aircraft going to the south side of Concourse A.
There're no official spots but police is usually nice and they're used to spotters around the fence.
