 | 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. |
No azijnpisser, its just as it is, better to say what you think of something than to always says great pics. Some great angles Rene, the Phantoms rocks ass, and i agree with Tom, maybe you can check on your editing skills to see if you can improve sometomba2247 wrote:Rene Klok wrote:Thanks for your comments.

Have to say that some off the flying pics are a bit to soft.
Nellis is on my bucket list..Love to go there some time.
Hi,
Nr 1 and 5 i try to Find the sharp spot.. Don't get me wrong I like your pics but these two pics seems a litle bit out off focus or something???
But he ....I am a azijnpisser
I'm seriously jealous on your collection And welcome to the forum we usually say after an introduction 
I use PS Elements in a fairly basic way so if there is room for improvement I'm open to suggestions Andras.Andras wrote:No azijnpisser, its just as it is, better to say what you think of something than to always says great pics.

Okay, first of all, use the sharp stuff, cause no matter what skills you have, you can't get a unsharp shot to turn into a sharp shot ever.Rene Klok wrote:I use PS Elements in a fairly basic way so if there is room for improvement I'm open to suggestions Andras.Andras wrote:No azijnpisser, its just as it is, better to say what you think of something than to always says great pics.

My standard editing steps are to play around with levels, followed by color variations (not sure if that is the correct name; I don't have the application on my work pc) and some unsharp mask editing.
I'm interested to learn if there is anything more that I can do that will do the trick.
Yes, you can : http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?t=78692&start=0Andras wrote:Okay, first of all, use the sharp stuff, cause no matter what skills you have, you can't get a unsharp shot to turn into a sharp shot ever.
Thanks for the tips Andras. I will try them and reply on the results in your DMAndras wrote:Okay, first of all, use the sharp stuff, cause no matter what skills you have, you can't get a unsharp shot to turn into a sharp shot ever.Rene Klok wrote:I use PS Elements in a fairly basic way so if there is room for improvement I'm open to suggestions Andras.Andras wrote:No azijnpisser, its just as it is, better to say what you think of something than to always says great pics.

Also better calibrate your monitor otherwise all the stuff you will do next won't be as good as you want it to be.
Check for dustspots, because you have a descent amount of them. But thats just appearance
Then level and crop if necessary. (Crop 3-2 or 16-9) White balance (your color variations) is very important. Make sure white is white and black is black.
Levels is ok, use as you wish (but don't overdo it). Check the histogram's little arrows at the botton.. Make them touch the mountains to get the hang of it. (Don't overdo it)
Vignettering, get it out (Dark corners of your image)
I think you use a lot of highlight or fill light... Try and keep that low as possible, otherwise you are creating HALO's around edges (the only HALO you want is the Xbox360 version)
Use Curves if necessary.
Finally your sharpen technique will do...
Thats it, in RAW this will work best, so you need to export to a JPG.
This is a nutshell explanation, try it and keep the reality in mind.
Last Aggressor F-16 looks really good...
Regards,
The thought of the new Photoshop development also crossed my mind but I guess it will be a bit out of my pricerange.SquAdmin wrote:Yes, you can : http://forum.scramble.nl/viewtopic.php?t=78692&start=0Andras wrote:Okay, first of all, use the sharp stuff, cause no matter what skills you have, you can't get a unsharp shot to turn into a sharp shot ever.
@Rene: I like the effect of the clouds on the F-22 picture. Were they moving so fast or did you use some HDR technique?
Marc, I believe a slight misunderstanding. Andras was referring to me where as you are referring to Dutch312Flyboy wrote:Based upon the EXIF information on Flickr, Dutch312's camera is an 300D (according to wikipedia these are produced in 2003-2004) and the F-86 and mig shot is 1/2500 sec @ f5,6 300mm. The lenstype is not included in the EXIF, so I assume it is a kit lens. The above may very well be the reason for the quality of the picture, simply because this is the quality of the gear.
Please take into consideration that some of us do have professional gear, while others spend their money on other interests. Based on the pictures Dutch312 had a great time, and isn't that what counts?
Have a nive weekend,
Marc
