planespotter.lars Editing/Pre-screening advice

[dlowwa]

Hey,
I just went through some pics I took at my local airport and surprisingly saw that 4 regs of them are not in the database. If they would have been, I would've never uploaded them as they're 'just' gliders.
The only thing I am afraid about is softness, concerning the editing I did only minimal changes to it.
Cheers,
Lars

Yes, all somewhat soft, among other issues.

Have a good evening and please excuse my careless mistakes haha,

Ratio is ok now, maybe a touch dark but ok for me.

Vignetting is almost always a byproduct of lens settings rather than anything external. Long end of the telephoto and open aperture usually are the culprits, probably the former, if not both in this case.

Nice I didn't know that until now, I should really take a course or something similar!

Color was not an issue, so don't know why saturation was changed.

Oh damn I must have read overprocessed not overexposed, silly me.

Halo around the aircraft remains. Still borderline soft.

That damned halos man!

Second image would be rejected for cropping/ratio since 4:3 is the maximum allowed.

Good evening,
Regarding the Pink Sparrow, don't the hell ask me why there is visible vignetting as I did not shout through a fence and I did not add any while editing, I hope it is fixed now! Also I removed some softness and saturation.

now regarding the HiFly I just cropped in a bit tighter, same crop as on the LH 359, that thanks to your help, got accepted yesterday!
Cheers and thanks again for all the help you guys have given me,

Hey guys,
after a massive spotting trip within Portugal and my flight back to Germany, I am back with some edited pictures!
First one is this pink bird I caught just after arriving at the spot in Lisbon!
The second one was taken in Porto, on this day 9H-TAJ wasn't even in the schedule so it was quite an amazing surprise! Though I am not sure if it is a bit too undersaturated, I decided to first ask you.

Best regards, stay safe and have a nice day,

1. soft, overprocessed, vignetting
2. cut off

Would be rejected for overprocessed. This kind of editing is not allowed here.

Makes sense, even though it is a pity!

Hey guys,
Is it possible to get following shot pre-screened?
Thank you so much in advance,
Lars

Looks a bit soft, but otherwise ok to me.

Very nice to hear that, I removed some softness, now let's get it into the queue!

[dlowwa]

Oh amazing! Is the editing ok, too?

This framing is totally acceptable.

[dlowwa]

Did it!
Between, do you take such 90 degree close-up shots or really just pics with the whole plane filling the frame?

Have a nice day,
Lars
