All of them soft and blurry. 1 and 2 also backlit.

Any chance they could be fixed? I suppose obviously not one and two but the rest?

Blurry is not fixable.

[LX-A343]

Blurry is not fixable.

... And neither is backlight.

[Simon B]

Blurry is not fixable.

When you say blurry do you mean the tracking was poor or the focus was poor? I really didn’t notice a problem, so I’m not sure what to fix next time. (I should also say I’m not trying to argue, and I hope it doesn’t come off that way, your clearly the expert here, I just want to make sure I work on the right thing)

I was also wondering how you guys feel about front lighting. This aircraft had lightning coming from almost directly in front of it

I was also wondering whare these front shots fall as far as angles and crops go:

Would be rejected for backlit, soft, and horizon.

I was also wondering whare these front shots fall as far as angles and crops go:

Both crops are relatively awkward; either crop tighter or leave the whole aircraft in. That being said, the first also has multiple quality issues that are not fixable and is not worth trying to re-crop.

So would you say the Azul 330 may be salvageable?

[Simon B]

Is this a better crop for the second one? I’m worried that I’ve cropped to the point whare I lost too much resolution...

If I might also ask, this one seems a little soft to my eye, and I’ve been messing around with it in Lightroom for a bit now. I feel like any softness is down to resolution now, am I mistaken? The background though still seems pretty grainy, is that a problem? Or are you guys only worried about the aircraft?

also thanks very much to everybody here who has helped me so far. Many thanks, sorry if I’m bugging you guys with obviously bad photos, thank you so much for all the advice so far...

More than soft, the aircraft appears a bit blurry.

Ok thanks

The Alaska photo had previously been rejected for under sharpened and poor contrast, and the American for poor contrast, does it seem to be up to snuff now?
