planespotter.lars Editing/Pre-screening advice

[planespotter.lars]

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

Makes sense, even though it is a pity!

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,
Lars Kämena

1. soft, overprocessed, vignetting
2. cut off

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,
Lars

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. Color was not an issue, so don't know why saturation was changed. Halo around the aircraft remains. Still borderline soft.

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

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

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

That damned halos man!

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

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

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.

Hey!
What would that issues be?
Sorry for not replying that long time but I had to focus on some physics presentations.

Contrast/exposure mostly.

Hello again!
After all the exams I finally found some time for editing!
Picture one was taken in late evening in Lisbon, picture two on Berlin Tegels last day of operation, where I flew to.

I am really concerned about the fact if the water salute and the fact shooting through the window damaged the quality too high.
Greetings,
Lars

Horizon off on both, especially the second. Both need CCW. Second also somewhat soft/blurry.

[planespotter.lars]

Thanks Dana.
I think I totally forgot about the horizon, Fixed it on both and put the Star Air into the queue. I would like to get following pics prescreened. The sunglare is too big on the last one, isn't it?
Thanks in advance,
Lars

1. borderline cut off
2. horizon
3-4 borderline dark/contrast, but would be ok for me
