Re: Piedmont Airlines to Portland, OR?

thanks for the replies guys. Did US Air fly clt-pdx then? or clt-sea possibly?

Piedmont Airlines to Portland, OR?

I was told that in or around 1988, I flew on Piedmont from CLT to PDX (probably on a 767-200). However I can't find any route maps or flight schedules that confirms they actually had this route. I think they flew to Seattle, but not sure about PDX. Just curious if anyone has that info. Thanks!

Re: best camera

I would probably say anything with a crop factor, good autofocus, and ability to capture relatively high FPS. Think Canon 80d, 90d, 7dmk 2, Rebel T6i, T7i, etc.

Re: New MacBook Air for editing.

I have the Macbook air with the M1 chip, and its honestly very impressive for a machine of its size and portability. It might struggle in lightroom at times with lots of edits, and bulk exporting is going to be slower, but in general I think its a very good machine for traveling.

Re: Help me choose a few of these to upload - Qatar A350

v15-1 and v26-1 really stand out to me. Think you'll have to do some work, especially on the former, to reduce some blurriness, but they're very nice pictures. The ground photos look like they're suffering from some heat haze, which I don't think is very fixable. Nice shots overall for sure. Thanks...

It does, to a maximum of 40. The more photos you have accepted in the database, the more you allowed to upload in the queue.

You're of course entitled to your opinion, but I'm not sure this opinion is necessarily in the majority. You seemed to indicate that you couldn't see the halos that I, and others, could see, in your photo. So a screener suggested using the "equalize" function in Photoshop to enable you to...
