Pre Screening Advice - Robbie Mathieson

[VH-ROB]

Hi all, after the discussion yesterday regarding flightdeck photography on anothe post, I've tried an edit on this one. Just seeking a second opinion before I upload it. Many Thanks, Robbie

Light background and no light on a white plane, unfortunately there isn't much you can do in such conditions, definitely a contrast/dark rejection.

Alex

No worries, thanks Alex

Hi guys, can I please get some pre-screening on this one. I appreciate that the weather at the time was atrocious, and I've done my best to get it relatively okay, but want to just double check before i waste a queue slot. Many Thanks, Robbie

Robbie, this one is dark and also has contrast issues.

Thanks. Regarding the compression, what can I do in my editing process to avoid this happening? I've just started using Lightroom in the last week or so, so I'm still learning how to use it properly. Many Thanks, Robbie

Most likely noise reduction settings; any kind of noise reduction applied to areas where there is a uniform color, or smooth gradient transitioning from lighter/darker areas like you find in blue skies will tend to leave the sky looking blotchy or compressed. That is assuming of course that you are also saving your images at maximum quality. If not, you'd want to start with the latter.

1. borderline oversharpened/compression
2. borderline compression
3. oversharpened, compression
4. blurry

I'd recommend not uploading at 1920pix, since that makes the quality flaws much more apparent. #1-3 might stand a chance at a smaller resolution like 1200pix.

Hi,
Crop is too tight (a bit more space around plane is needed) and whole plane appears a bit too soft

Alex

Awesome, thanks Alex, I'll go and work on it again, many thanks.

Pre Screening Advice - Robbie Mathieson

Hi guys, would it be possible to get some prescreening on this one? Have a new laptop and am also now editing in LR rather than PS so there's quite a few differences in my workflow. Many Thanks, Rob

In this case yes, this is the ONLY time where such manipulation is allowed. Be aware that the other quality issues remain, which still might preclude the adjusted image from being accepted.

Great, thanks for the help.
