Hi there Dutchpilot,

Since you ask, I think you are trying to be creative in your photography. And that is a good thing!

1. Great shot! (Just some image compression troubles) Which program do you use to edit your shots?

2. Nice closeup, i would try and get the left engine on there as well

3. Standard F-16, maybe a bit dark.. What lens do you use?

4. some nice prop vrotex, bit dark again.. Try and overexpose 2/3 or 1 stop on these kind of shots..

5. Great shot, nice engine heat...!

6. Sharp shot, why did you choose to crop this much?

7. Nice and sharp!

8. Blurry, and you said it best!

9. Also blurry (a lot of your shots have some level of blurriness or end of lens capability issue..) but a good timed shot!

10. Great, sideway shot, Jetphoto or Airliners material!

11. Hoogerland will love this shot, avaition wise it is bagger

12. Snapshot, and not level, but its sharp...

What camera-gear did you use? If your gear permits, try to relax when pushing the shutter button, theres some level of unsharpness in some of your flying shots, can't really say if its the gear or the photographer. For instance, can you tell us how you set your camera for the F-16 shot (settingswise?)

I would say, carry on and show us some more stuff..

@ Jeroen,

First time shooting or posting? Your shots are pretty ok, a bit dark so try to get some more exposure in your settings next time, i think you will do fine then...

Thank you verry much for your comments!
I begin with the firts thing; the camera-gear. My body is a Nikon D40x and with a 70-300mm VR lens
Second thing: I think its 50/50. I'm now 13 years old and I making something like 8/9 monds pics of airplanes, maybe I have not sow much experience. But my gear is also not the best (
if I'm honest I think this is one of my poor series, but that's what I think)
Third thing: Actually I do not have to put that picture on the Internet (the f-16), the better version can be found in other topic's. But the settings are 1/1250 sec f/5.6 ISO 200 (my body can't go lower than 200..)

Start using f-stops like f/8 will increase the sharpness a lot!!
Look at the difference:

Do you use a UV filter on that? If you do, take it off..!

Yeah, check your initial camera settings, do you use some servo focus setting? Get that active... Try and go down to 1/1000th with the same settings, that should get it more exposed. Or maybe try 1/500 and f.8 with the 200 ISO.. It will make your picture less soft... (Warning, only in the same weather conditions as your picture of the F-16 above.. Otherwise you have to use other settings!

Just try and tweak your settings a bit and watch your "panning movement for smooth shutter release"... Your gear should be capable to produce sharper shots.

Succes!

Fresh blood! Welcome! Good to see your input, it's so much better than when I started a few decades ago..

Thanks for all the tips! I have pictures posted in the topic 07.11.2011 (EHAM). Maybe you can view them. And compare them with these pictures? I think that is 10 times better than these pictures .. (ow and I didn't use a UV filter)

Hi Jeroen...

The first time my photo's on Scramble

Welcome to the "show"!!!!
I do have some positive advise for you...
I don't know how much you know (or care) about the settings of your camera, but in overall your pictures are much too dark.
You should try a different setting of the light metering or light compensation.
I downloaded one of your pictures and did a quick edit with the editing program I use, being "Nikon Capture NX 2.2.6" (I use Photoshop just so now and then for finetuning and dust removal).
It's not a real edit but it can give you an idea...



As far as the chopper is concerned, try a (much) lower shutterspeed, so you get the "blades-blur".
Now it looks as if the blades are not moving.

For the rest, keep on shooting and posting!!!

Grtz.
Zipper.

Hi Jeroen, and Zipper,

I used Lightroom on your JPG, it's a little different from Zippers version, cause that is showing a lot of noise. I was curious if that would be the case with Lightroom as well. I think you've overdone something in Nokon Capture NX Zipper, you might wanna check that out? Anyway, here is a edit of your JPG, it's just some basic edit, nothing special, and you can get some exposure in the image without loosing too much. This is on the edge of messing things up. The RAW would be much better to edit. Just tell me if you do not appreciate this and i will take it off the net..

but still, im curious about this NIkon Capture software.. A lot of people use that, is it Nikon only?

Hallo andras and zipper,

Thanks for explaning,

Normal i don`t change the pictures but now i goingto learn use lightroom.
I shooting with pentax k10d and sigma dg 50-500mm 1:4.5-6.3 apo hsm.

Hi Jeroen,

Try shoot in RAW, it will give the best range in editing possibilities. Your 10x lens should be able to produce sharp shots, try shooting on a slightly higher aperture value, this will get your shutterspeed down so be careful not to drop a lot below 1/500. Or crank up the ISO a notch te be able to keep higher shutterspeeds.
I'm not really familiar with the Pentax but I've seen people use that before and shoot good stuff.

Your Bigma comes without OS (optical stabilization) right?

And take off any UV filters, it's degrading the sharpness on those Bigmas. Just use your lens hood for protection.

Greets!
