Interested in knowing what you think of these pictures. Not sure about the light conditions.

Originally posted by pauwelsc View PostI took thes pics in JPEG. I am a bit of a rookie so I use autofocus... I shot these ones with a 300mm so yes I chopper them. I get quit a lot pictures rejected for being over processed in fact, but I don’t know how to solve it. Over processed means it gets a plastic look, no? What about number 4? I think it’s the best of them? How can I fix the iso problem in the future? I really learn a lot from the advice your colleagues gave me already so I am always keen to learn!

Number four unfortunately shows this artifacts as well. For next time in this sunny light conditions you can set your ISO level at 160-200 max. Usually newer cameras have an auto ISO setting where you can select a min/max ISO setting. Also it will depend on you camera brand (Canon/Nikon/Pentax) and sensor type and how it behaves. What might behave good for me might be extremely different on your camera and so on.

Exactly, excessive contrast, sharpness and colors in there. It works fine for me to have my camera settings in zero contrast/tone/saturation and perform all adjustments in the edition.

Thank you for the great tip to check my ISO level! Again, I had no clue at all I had to change this, I am definitely going to do this in the future.
The camera I have is the Nikon D3300 so maybe it can work out to set those setting to zero?
I will exclude these pictures from my queue as they are most likely to get rejected. I will take these tips in mind for the future and hopefully I can provide some better pictures to the database.
Just to show you the crop:

Originally posted by pauwelsc View PostWell, indeed I was far away from the airplanes. 300mm should be ok for the wide bodies but for the smaller ones, 400mm would be more acceptable. That's why I have also decided to invest in such an equipment. So I did a lot of cropping and honestly I did not know it affects the compression. I don't use a specific photoshop program, I use 'Pictures' installed on my macbook, it has most of the same tools as some programs.

2-Underexposed but overall good, just fix that
3-Soft, overprocessed. The sun glare on the windows are quite disturbing. Usually a few seconds after the light shines perfect on the whole fuselage.
