To get a little bit forward, I follow the advice and start an editing advice-thread for some of my pics here:
I have an issues with one heli, pics have been taken at the early afternoon time with very low rel. humidity.
First one is technical - at the dolly, what about my chosen horizontal levelling? I took the natural horizon (runway) unvisible in the background, the apron with dolly is not in line by perspective. Which horizon is the one to choose?
Processing was done only with LR, I took away the light-peaks to get more fuselage details, desaturated some colours and increased contrast/exposure slightly. For my impression sharpness was also tricky due to the high sun and white colourscheme. I did focuss the typing below the rotor-head as a reference for the sharpening settings.
Second is after lifting, taken from the tower.
Desaturated and reduced peak-lights again to get more details, sharpening focussed again on the rotor-head typing. Which category is it? In flight or simply helicopter? What about the balancing in total?
btw:
Are wide-angle takes welcome or a no-go here or do the screeners decide instantly by picture when all screening-checks have come out positive?
I ask because when I get the chance I take several WW-takes with a 9-18mm in mft. I see a problem with general centering from helicopters due to the necessarily variied picture format and the unnatural extended fuselage in ww-perspective...
Greets and regards
