Pre/Post-Screening (frankc)

frankc · Tue Apr 24, 2012 10:22 pm

Hello

I wonder of the image below would be fine in terms of centering, that is, I centered only the aircraft and not the aircraft plus its partial reflection.
The reflection shows only a limited part of the aircraft (looks like 50% or less) so I ignored it during centering.

Any opinions appreciated!

PS please ignore other possible issues with the image, this is only a limited edit.

Best regards,

I would probably raise it just a bit in the frame, but it might be OK the way it is.

alevik · Wed Apr 25, 2012 12:03 am

Centering looks passable to me. There are other issues but as you noted not a final edit.

frankc · Wed Apr 25, 2012 4:24 pm

Thanks guys!

I eliminated some noise and oversharpened edges, along with a color correction.

Hi
I've currently 2 uploads in the queue of the same aircraft:

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...y/e1335370416.741frankc_omvrd2.jpg
and
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...335564504.0476frankc_omvrd_day.jpg

Both pictures are taken on a different date.

Would these to be subject to a "Double" rejection?

Thanks!

Nope. Even if taken on the same date, they'd be fine, as they're showing opposite sides of the aircraft.

frankc · Sat Apr 28, 2012 10:56 pm

Many thanks Vik!

A separate issue is this rejection which I've got recently.

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...5_u1334594724.9077frankc_hbaff.jpg

Rejected for:
Dark
Level (personal note: needs CW rotation)

I can see the Dark issue, but I've trouble with finding the Level issue.

I used the horizon as a levelling criterium, and the verticals (the lamppost rising behind the aircraft and the little building near the right) appear to be in balance.

Any pointers near the levelling solution are greatly appreciated

Cheers!

frankc · Tue May 01, 2012 3:22 pm

Hi

Would this one be ok for level?
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...dy/i1335885107.398frankc_dcawu.jpg

I levelled using the verticals on the buildings, but the pole still leans a bit to the left.
However, correcting for this pole, would make the all other background verticals lean to the right.

Cheers
Frank

dlowwa · Tue May 01, 2012 5:00 pm

Maybe a touch more ccw, based on the buildings. The pole would be misleading, so you are right to ignore it.

frankc · Tue May 01, 2012 5:06 pm

Thank you Dana.

Yes I can see it now - it will be like 0.1degrees or the like.

A friend found this photo,taken somewhere in the seventies, in his archive.

The color and contrast need to fixed up, but it could be salvageable. If it's your friend's, he will need to be the one who uploads it; you can't upload it from your account if it doesn't belong to you.

Hi Dana , thank you for your feedback - I will let him know.

Hi Dana
Referring to our conversation about my friend's photo: at present he doesn't has an account.
Therefore, would it be acceptable - in terms of legality - if I put in the comment field a reference to his name?
Thank you for your help!

An account is free on here, so I wouldn't see a reason for him not to register.

Hi Tom
Thank you for your reply - that confirms what I was deducing from the terms of legality.
I will get him to create his own account.

Hello

I got this image rejected for level ("needs cw rotation")

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...10_c1335909162.276frankc_dcawu.jpg

If I would rotate this further cw, the verticals would begin lean to the right (I assume the screener(s) were using the lightpole in the middle as reference).

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks!
Frank

Hello

I've got a shot of a Global Express, with quite some issues (overexposed,softness,dirty):

Rejected image
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/r...8_w1335782804.3278frankc_ecleb.jpg

So I worked on another photo, with different camera settings:
https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b...y/c1336858600.2948frankc_ecleb.jpg

However, as the photos were taken with the sun quite high in the sky, the exposure and contrast still look somehow problematic to me (especially when compared with existing images of the same aircraft).
I'm not quite sure if it would fit to the A.net standards at all?

Cheers,
Frank

dlowwa · Sun May 13, 2012 7:38 am

Newer one is better, and should have a chance.

frankc · Tue May 15, 2012 3:34 pm

Hello again,

Would the exposure of this Beech 200 be problematic (especially near the nose) ?

Don't think it would be a problem, however I'm giving dana the final call

dlowwa · Tue May 15, 2012 6:00 pm

Maybe a bit bright, but not too bad. It is a bit oversharpened and low in the frame though.

I find it quite challenging to center this Beaver properly, so any feedback is welcome.

Centering looks fine to me.

frankc · Wed May 23, 2012 12:42 pm

Hello

I used the horizon as primary reference, but since the pole behind the airplane is not perpendicular with the apron, it may suggest further ccw rotation.

Thank you,

frankc · Wed May 23, 2012 5:10 pm

Additionally, I'd like some information regarding the field "Operator" for this one:

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/b.../p1337790975.3651frankc_n525fd.jpg

At present, I selected: Operator - OTHER, using the title "Buddies".
However as this is a brand rather than an operator, I'm not sure whether this is correct. Alternatively, leaving it as "Untitled" doesn't seem to fit either.
Any thoughts?

Thanks a mil !
Frank Clautier

Tomskii · Wed May 23, 2012 5:24 pm

as far as my intel goes it is privately owned (and I do not know the private owner as he/she is not listed at all)

Seems ok.

Quoting frankc (Reply 28):

Title is not the operator. Title is what it says on the aircraft, which is why most private aircraft are titled 'Untitled' rather than 'Private'. 'Buddies' is prominently visible on the aircraft, so that should be fine as the title. If you wish, you can include the operator in brackets 'Buddies (Operator)'.

It is too high. There is some slight noise noticeable, but I think it should be ok.

Hello again,

The elevator of this Falcon 50 seems to vanish into the sky - I guess it's caused by the angle of the camera relative to the aircraft :

https://www.airliners.net/addphotos/big/ready/l1339191346.3009fgxtm.jpg

Would it likely trigger a soft rejection?

Hi,

Would it be possible to have a second opinion for this Beech 350 please? Personally I think it's a bit grainy/soft in places.

A little noisy, but shouldn't be a problem. I don't see it as being soft.

Hello

Does this image feels ok in terms of Saturation and Color (White) Balance?
The original photo was made using an ExpoDisc and hence I didn't touch any color adjustments in Photoshop.

This image was rejected for both Soft and Dark.

I've difficulties with identifying the area(s) leading to these rejection categories so I'd be grateful for any pointers.

Well I'll still give you the feedback though. Dark looks a bit weird to me but maybe adding a touch of exposure might help. As for soft: I'm still looking..
