    2. borderline oversharpened in spots, but also still soft/blurry towards the tail & edges. also dark.
    1. Any editing advice you can offer for this one bud? I'm going to assume that a reduction in the shadows and increase of exposure would help.
    2. Okay, will play with the selective sharpening tool then. Oversharpened around front door and nose gear per chance?

EDIT: I have had a quick alter with the sharpening after following a tutorial. Can I get some feedback on this version please? Hopefully some of the noise is gone (I struggle to see noise on flat colors unless prominent. I get very strong speckles in my vision looking at flat colors)

    I also have this new image of 9H-EAL. It seems off but I can't put my finger on why....

    Okay, as promised, the photo from the flyby! Probably not my best work so far but any comments would be appreciated Pretty sure the weird lights on the nose area are actually lights or glass of some kind. Click image for larger version

    In the air/on the ground usually not similar if from different sequences, but couldn't say without seeing the images in question.

    Blurry... Well balls! Noise I can fix, softness I can fix, blurriness.... Social media fodder it is!

    Okay. In regards to the A400M, she made 2 TnGs which will all look similar (from a JP criteria) but the flypast was a completely different sequence. No contact with the ground but it WAS flown down to minimums in a landing configuration. Without getting in depth with flight tracker comparisons with the photo data stamp, the only proof I can offer that it's from a different sequence is that I was standing in the same place as the other shots. I'll upload the working copy I have tomorrow evening It's not a final edit version yet but has had some initial work done to it.

    Edit: Would similar also apply to the flyby that was performed following the above 2 sequences?

    So yes, same sequence. All three shots are similar.

    The nose/side shot are during the landing roll out of a TnG and the airborne is from the take off. Honestly, it depends on whether you consider a TnG as one sequence or 2 linked sequences (The Touch and The Go).

    2 - 4. I'm not sure why they would all class as similar? I understand the nose shot vs the side on but neither of those vs the airborne shot? I'm not arguing, 8 just don't understand

    Either way, if I rule out 4 (vignetting rejection I think) would the nose shot and airborne shot still be too similar for a pre-screen?

    1. Okay, I don't think that image will work. Back to the image repository for a better shot!

    Okay, I've now tried to dull down the contrast through various methods. I've also centered the frame based off of the windows (the angle is a tad sharp). I also have the first batch of photos of CT-01 during her visit to CWL for training today. A full body shot of the rollout, a nose shot (not from the same frame, from the 2nd landing after a fence clipped the tail) and an airborne shot.

    Edit: I'm not entirely sure how I missed it but I do believe the A400 side shot might be vignetted despite the crop. Not sure how I've managed to miss that but I think it might be a shadow from the fenceline. I'll take a look for a better image tomorrow.

    Stay Safe!
    Ahhhh! I thought it was lacking contrast! I'll try lowering the contrast tonight. I do try to get the windows in the middle of the frame but I'm usually snapping at parked GA aircraft which have a lot less windows to use as reference!
