Majky737 - Editing Advice

[Majky737]

Both have issues with contrast and softness, though the light is a bit better on the second.

Thank you. I have adjusted contrast and added some extra sharpening to the second.

Hello,

yesterday, there was a special visitor on my home airport. I took some photos during his evening departure, however have some doubts which to upload.

#1


This was taken during take off roll. As I like this angle more, it is obvious that sun was behing cloud so contrast is not great. Question is, if you think it is fixable with better contrast edit.

#2

This was taken during taxi, when I think light was better and hopefully contrast is fine on this one, however, angle was not that good.

So my question is - does it worth to spend some effort on #1, or better to go on with #2?

Thank you for your feedback.

Contrast is indeed quite poor; an image of this with the updated livery has already been accepted, but be aware we are usually a bit more lenient for first images, so yours might get a little more scrutiny.

Yes I know it. So I will keep it for personal collection, thanks for you time.

Hi,

today, there was a special opportunity to catch Il-76 on my home airport. As the weather forecast was fine, I decided to go. However, weather was not so fine after all - cloudy overcast day. I know JP will most likely not accept photos taken in bad weather for poor contrast, however I wanted to ask if attached photo has any chances, as this kind of airplane was somehow special. I wanted to take photo in front of moutains to reduce poor grey sky, but tail stabilizer was too high.

Thank you for your time.

Hello,

I want to ask for pre-screening of attached photo, especially concerning about contrast/exposure.



Thank you
Marian

Maybe a touch dark, but would be ok for me.

I see. Adjusted contrast on new edit, attached below.

Contrast still an issue and still borderline heat hazed.

[Majky737]

Haze is only somewhat noticeable. Contrast also poor for this one.

Thank you for your time. I have decided to leave no. 1 for personal collection.

However, I took another picture of Airbus from sequence and edited it. I want to ask for prescreening attached image, as I think is somehow better like previous attempts (or at least - does not seems to be affected by head haze much to me). Thank you.

Can't really hide heat haze with more sharpening; first is still quite obvious, and little bit less so on the second.

Thanks to both of you.

I have added some extra sharpening to them, however can't say if it hides heat hazes enough. So... one more version attached below, feedback is welcome.

Thank you.

Hello,

I ask for prescreening of these photos, as I have doubts about

1. - contrast (sun was behind thin layer of clouds), colors, horizont, maybe softness?
2. - contrast, colors

Thank you for response.

Marian

Both images are soft/heat hazes. Contrast is fine.
