Re: Cockpit/Cabin Shot Advice

Thanks for the advice. Here is my first attempt! Learned some valuable lessons but overall pleased with how it turned out.

Re: Cockpit/Cabin Shot Advice

You will need to shoot in manual mode, expose for the outside light conditions, then use fill flash to properly expose the cockpit. If you look at the panels at the very top, you can see what looks like shadow from the flash. Make sure the flight crew is OK with you popping a flash though. That's w...

Cockpit/Cabin Shot Advice

Hello all! I was just looking this fantastic shot by David Lednicer, and was curious if any of you have advice on how to take shots like this where you can properly expose both the outside and the inside of the aircraft simultaneously. I'm still learning a lot of basics about photography and have a ...

Re: US Airline Booking Trends during COVID-19

Just my own personal experience, but flew 6 times in the last 3 weeks, and all 6 were completely uneventful and everyone was behaved mask-wise (AA/WN) and middle seat-wise (WN). A total non-event. Wish people weren't so horrified by the thought of flying right now.

Re: SoCal Boneyard Storage and Activity Thread

Ex Qantas 747-400 N953JM filed VCV-MCI 11AM - 3:34PM as N953JM. Despite all of the attention around VH-OEJ, this may be the final flight for a Qantas 747 (whether in service with Qantas or not). https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N953JM/history/20200730/1800Z/KVCV/KMCI I heard at least one of the ...

Thank you in advance.

Re: Pre-Screen KPDX

Jehan,

Thanks for your response. I too agree with the reasons for rejection. I should have clarified. My main concern was that if it was backlit, which I did not believe it to be, that it wasn't even fixable in the first place.

Re: Lower Shutter Speed and Wide Angle

Okay, I get you now. Just to clarify, it is the general blur across the frame rather than the aircraft being blurry that's the issue? I can see both sides to be honest. Since the subject is such a small part of the scene to have so much of the frame blurry isn't aesthetic, but at the same time the ...

Re: Lower Shutter Speed and Wide Angle

It doesn't look like it because of the way I cropped the photo, but my focus point was centered on the P-3, which is why it's in focus/sharp.. But with the lower shutter speed (1/250 in this case), that's why some other places in the frame are not quite as sharp and show signs of blurriness. Suffici...

Lower Shutter Speed and Wide Angle

Hello all. I'd just like your thoughts on this matter.. I tried for a bit of a creative composition on this P-3 arriving at Dallas Love Field. It was rejected for: - Oversharpened - Blurry https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/3/0/4/6044403.jpg?v=v47ad667f386 First off, let me say I complet...

Re: Southwest Airlines planning on squeezing competitors in weaker positions

You can tell WN is doing the right thing by the sheer derangement people have towards the airline. Nuff said!

Re: Pre-Screen KPDX

Roger that. I'll make some changes and give the VS 744 a spin again!
Thank you!

Re: Pre-Screen KPDX

Sorry for the last response guys, but thanks for your thoughts from before. I appreciate it! A couple of rejections that I'd like your thoughts on! https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/3/8/3/6018383.jpg?v=v49c4c738c7a Rejected for oversharpened, common, and high contrast.

Re: Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 cyan cast

Well,

I figured out how to fix it on Photoshop. But is there any reason why they shot all have this cast out of the camera?

Thanks again!

Nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 cyan cast

Hello all! I have the NIKKOR 70-200 f2.8 and while I am quite happy with the quality and sharpness, they all seem to have a cyan/green cast on them. My 200-500 does not have this issue at all on the same camera body. Any ideas? Also, what's the best way to go about correcting this? https://imgproc.a...

Hi Kev, You're talking about my photo which was added on March 22nd. On the priority guidelines, it says: - Priority screening is given up to 24 hours after the first photo was added.

Well guys, I gave up with the E-4B. My very good friend was 2 feet away from me so we did get similiar angles. Mine now has a "red cast" and is not passable. Accepted (and rightfully so): https://imgproc.airliners.net/photos/airliners/9/0/7/5919709.jpg?v=v4fa67452dc7 Rejected: https://imgp...
