Prescreen Advice Request - 787Dream

[dlowwa]

Hi, I got some time to do some planespotting again. Now without lens hood, the lens seems to do ok, though I havent found a time to test photos with only sky as background.

Here I have 3 photos needing some prescreening from three different angles. Photo 1 has a bit of weird haze that I am worried about, photo 2 I like it, photo 3 the color grading just isn't looking all right because I shot it from the terminal and probably the lighting condition wasn't the best.

Thanks in advance.

1-2. borderline (weak) contrast
3. contrast/color, vignetting

Thanks, I think it's best to remove 3 as correcting color isn't easy and window filters a lot of light.

You think these two are salvageable?

Enough improvements? It was pretty dusk time and I dont want to blow too much highlights and shadows.

Contrast a bit harsh on both, though first would be ok for me.

Got a time to shooting the sky. Apparently, this vignetting is more like a lens quality problem... Time to get a new lens (always wanted to get a Z7ii and some lens with a longer focal length)

[787Dream]

Hence, I am trying some new angles today to avoid the vignetting problem aiming at the sky. Here are 4 for prescreening. Thanks!
And you think composition for 5 is ok?

1. dark/contrast, vignetting
2. borderline horizon/centering
3. horizon, vignetting
4. borderline horizon
5. horizon, borderline too far

Thanks for the notes, I think better drop 1 before I tremendously clip shadows and overexpose.

I kinda want to keep that departure screen... You think it is not worth it to keep it?

Update: I ve figured a new crop. I will show you tonight when I get 5 prescreening slots back

So what do you think of this composition? Borderline? Horizon is kinda hard to find; and I used the yellow bleed air tube as reference.

Also trying to work on my first airport overview. What do you think?

My bad, I didn't trim my clock correct, thought the forum uses EDT. Sorry for 2 hours early. Will try to prevent that from happening again. I ll give 1 another try on crop, and could you please tell me more about 2 and how to find a horizon for 1? Thanks

Ok, let's try this again with some more productiveness

For 1, I think the information screen is probably considered enough for non-centering of the image, and I tried to calibrate horizon using verticals.

For 2, I think the motive for overview is not enough as most aircraft and terminal is shaded and small. So instead, I think a tower photo would be much better off.

And sorry to you for having the rough day while doing very hard work.

1. soft. if this is a heavy crop, it might not be fixable.
2. borderline (harsh) contrast

I think it might be, the crop was 1619x2428, how's this bit more sharpening doing?
