 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
Somehow I don´t think timing has anything to do with it. These days it´s all about fps (frames per second) unfortunatelyOptimus wrote:How incredible is the timing on the landing World MD-11.

brgds, Peter
But the 'unfortunately' is a bit misplaced ; why not use technology if is it there to be used 
I'm still a happy USM-user @ my Canon lenses as well 
Point taken ErikKey wrote:Being someone who absolutely loves the photography aspect in aviation photography, and someone who generally prefers airborne shots over ground scenes, my favourites of the dreamy Taiwanese are Chr!s85's #2 and Rutger's #16.
These are nice, simple shots with a balanced composition, natural colours and unforced sharpness. The special colours play the main part in them, against a familiar contrasting background.
IMHO, the ability of cloud patches and other special effects to keep claiming the attention, or even make a photo more interesting in stead of less so, is highly over-estimated by a lot of people. I know, many will disagree with me, but that is the beauty of taste and creation.
The photographers in this topic that might feel criticized luckily know I highly valuate their work in general.

My goal remains trying to shoot a rare or special plane in the 'special mode' Sometimes that isn't with that much success I was hoping for, bummer, next time better luck.

Fair enough. The light is beautiful indeed, and with the nosewheel still 'airborne' I think that would be my favourite in this series so far. It's often the small things that make the difference.nustyR wrote:7 Everything is right in this next shot; a great air-plane, the sun in the back and a dark contrasting background............and I really don't like it...that's a matter of taste as you mentioned. I guess I miss some depth and motion in this image.
Exactly. The lack of natural contrast means, to me, the wanted effect is not there. With sunshine, this shot of yours and Derice would easily win over the others though, for my taste. Now I am looking at what post-processing could still make of it. Personally, I rather see grey weather replicated precisely and with something interesting to look at, than the many 'maximized by software' photos we get presented with nowadays.8 I prefer these type of side-on shots ( banking style that is ), unfortunately nu sun or interesting clouds in the background
