  • Kilo Whiskey Photography - prescreening request / editing advice

    Hi there, I'm asking for a prescreening, please. I am fairly happy with this photo however I feel it may possibly be a little under-sharpened.

    Not a screener, but this would be soft, also a blueish tint (or contrast), and cutoff with the tail rotor.

      Thanks for the feedback, can I simply resolve the softness in post by sharpening more? Unfortunately, the tail rotor is cut off in the original image therefore it's unusable, however for future reference, is the contrast a composition issue at the time of taking the photo or can it be fixed in post, if so how would I go about doing such?

        Contrast can usually be adjusted in post, along with the blueish tint. Cutoffs are almost always a write off unless you can make something out of it like a close up (watch for motive fails, probably more for the portfolio than JP though). Softness can sometimes be fixed in post but you'll get an idea over time.

            Dark, contrast, soft/blurry. Not fixable, sorry.

                  Thanks for the feedback, I'm not quite getting the hang of this, I will take the process one step at a time. First, is the raw image usable? Your response is much appreciated Click image for larger version

                    No, the light is of terrible quality. If you're hoping to have images accepted here, you'll need to restrict your attempts to images taken in good light.

                      Thanks for clarifying that, I will shoot in better light in the future (that's Scottish weather for you)

                          Hi, Not a screener but the photo is quite blurry. I doubt you would be able to fix it with editing

                            It is not.

                              Shooting for JetPhotos can be a bit of a skill to learn in itself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the quality required but the weather requirements. Generally, you'll want the sun behind you so that it illuminates the subject. Blue skies in the background are pretty much worthless if there's clouds blocking the light onto the subject. But sunny usually means warm in some places, which means heat haze. Another component to factor in.

                              That being said, it's always worth taking pictures as you'll improve your techniques. Over time, you'll find that more and more are worth pre-screening.
