Alberto – you are starting to annoy me now with your comments on technical aspects of photography. I am not asking you or anyone else to like my photos – it’s all about opinions after all. If someone says “blooming heck Culpano that shot is well out of focus” or “I find these schemes a bit boring” then that’s fine by me. If I see a batch of shots that don’t particularly interest me or are poor quailty I won’t comment. If I see something that catches my eye I will usually make a comment
However there seems to be a trend of technical based comments that in my opinion serve no purpose other than to annoy people (ok I’ll let other people speak for themselves but I’m annoyed a bit).
Comments such as…
However, on some, the white is not very well balanced, nothing bit to correct 🙂
Good pictures here, but, them are under-contrast and, why you don’t preserve the original aspect ratio (3:2)? They would look better then.
Good pictures here, with good light, but most of them are soft 🙁
Awesome!! Just center better the plane is some 🙂
A suggestion for the first one: If possible, crop it including the push-back vehicle 🙂
Just a hint: the horizon is not on level 🙂
Good shots, but I don’t light the lighting on the aircraft arriving from the front 🙂
Has this forum suddenly become Jetphotos or airliners.net now ????
Are you some unofficial screener (all your comments sound just like a.net and Jetphotos screener comments when a photo gets rejected).
Are we submitting these photos to some competition or merely sharing what aircraft we have seen on our travels, technically perfect or not ?
In my opinion a photo either looks good or it doesn’t. So what if the white balance, histograms, contrast, colour balance are not technically correct ?
With regards questioing someone’s aspect ratio ? He can crop them at whatever aspect ratio he likes !!! I crop mine at 16:9 because in my opinion they look better especially when showing them on a widescreen HD telly – 3:2 or 4:3 ratio in my opinion also has lots of wasted space below and above the plane.
Sorry if this sounds over-sensitive and it is quite reasonable to constructively criticise people’s photos but it’s nearly every set of people’s shots you have to make a comment.
Jetphotos and airliners.net sometimes miss the point completely about aviation photography and concentrate far too much on technical aspects. The amount of shots that get accepted that are poorly composed, winglets protruding into shots, ugly fences, tails of other planes crossing the middle of the body etc etc yet because the histogram and white balance is correct it gets accepted. Then a photo that has been rejected is full of colour, great composition, interesting light, clutter free etc etc is rejected because the histogram is wrong is missing the point.
I don’t really care if you like my photos or not alberto but if I need a photography lesson I’ll ask you thanks.
This board is fabulous means of sharing people’s recent trips but if we are getting unofficial screeners comments on them now I won’t be posting any more on here.
