[Denis F. McBriarty]

Hey!

Not totally sure I understand this problem. Can it be solved in post processing?

Wouldnt happen to be using a Nikon would you?
Theres an odd hue over the whole photo, id say a boost of contrast could help but you need to sort out the curves so it has a more natural colour Denis

[Billsville]

Yep, I agree.

The colour is tending towards green (D70 perhaps?) and the over all contrast range is small.

Yes, its easy to fix in post.

[Denis F. McBriarty]

Yes!

See it now especially in the logo on the tail. I have a problem with greens and blues. Need to clean the specs, darken the room . This was with the D-70.

THANKS mates!

I see also another reason that it may be rejected later.The buildings at the bottom suggest that the photo is not level. Anyway it's just my two cents worth...

[MaxPower]

Or maybe the aircraft does feature this very fainted look as its paint has been affected by weather and such. Thus makes it look like it lacks off contrast.

Why ? Well we have seen colours who have been affected by long term exposure to the sun and weather. Thats why it appears fainted. ?

Can you expand on this Dan.
What is wrong with the Nikon?

The D70 tends to be a bit on the green side when using auto white balance under such conditions, same as the D100 that I use. If you know it you can correct it in camera easily by adjusting the AWB to -1 or -2 depending on the lense used.

Thanks Stefan, I was aware and I have the white balance pre-set to -1 when I choose Auto.

Would this remedy suggest that a warmer colour is required to
mimic the Canon DSLR's and fool the majority Canon user/screeners?

[BA747-436]

I'd say no, but rather why people still by inferior cameras with whack green hues

[Gerry]

A shocking revelation.

Prejudice Alert! Prejudice Alert!

We have enough screener´s that use real cameras and not those Canon toys, so do not worry. Have you set everything else to normal in your D70 ? If yes, then it should normaly do the trick. (and still not look like a Canon)

Yes Stefan, except Colour Mode set to II and Sharpening to -1.
(I sometimes switch the sharpening off as well)

Hey!

Generally I level on the closest vertical at center of the shot and crop next. No rejection problems with that aspect in a long time; however greens and blues are tough. With a lot of shots over MAHO BAY this is critical because of the vivid reflections.

Can't seem to get this one right and have decided the logo is indeed weather worn.

THANKS for the comments!

That's a good point Den.

Shooting an aircraft on a short final over grass will cause a green cast as well.



I'm saving these observations for future excuses
