    Borderline soft/contrast for most of them.

    I understand now, and by quality what specifically does it mean by 'the quality is not there' or similar to that?
    Could be a variety of criteria, but usually related to lighting/sharpness.

    I usually shoot aperature priority F8-F10. What AF points do you use or does that not effect image quality in regards to JP... Only reason I'm asking is that day I did switch to a different AF selection mode which may have caused the decrease in quality, maybe? I also used exposure compensation, for the white aircraft is that not ok?

    For the 'sweet spot' I'm assuming you mean the aperature?

    Hi, the best autofocus point mode is the 1 autofocus point mode.

    I shoot in Aperture-priority mode 90% of the time unless the light is tricky and I know the camera might be fooled, in which case I'll use Manual more.

    For panning (in low light), anything over 200-300mm I'll make sure I'll have extra stabilization, which for me means gimbal head on a tripod. Without that, the ratio of acceptable images plummets.

    For equipment, most lenses will have a 'sweet spot' where they'll perform best, so you just need to find where that is for yours.

    Panning techniques, what mode do you shoot in (ex: aperature priority, shutter priority, etc.), what focus mode do you use when shooting Nikon cameras assuming you use one... Aditionally if you can name things you think that could help me make my 'quality' better from what has already been shown from the two raw files.
    I also agree that the equiptment may be an issue, but I think it may be duable. I'm using a 70.0-300.0 mm f/4.5-5.6. Any input regarding 'skill/technique' that could help me achieve a higher level of quality to that seen in JP, would be greatly appreciated.

    I see, do you have any particular tips or tricks you've discovered in the process that you might be willing to share?

    Ok, thank you for this knowledge. I referred to the guide on the settings on the forum, but are there any other references you would recommend for this?
