Playing at Dusk

Good afternoon all...

Trying to learn from my mistakes and to apply all the advice I can remember...the old grey matter is not as good as it used to be...

The first one is outstanding Doug !!  8-)

The second one is nice as well, the only thing I could say is that since it's the same angle of view than the first one, it creates a repetition. Nothing else to say really, the shot is definitely good :)

The third shot has a problem => it shows a modelling problem, an empty space around the windows. This is something that should be avoided. Also, the ground scenery below is a little bit blurry. Perhaps you should try to zoom out a little bit, it will reduce the blurries. But once again, don't zoom out too much, else you will obtain a very bad "fish-eye" effect that has to be avoided as well.

Same applies to the last shot. Also, I think it would have been better if you took that same exact shot (looking left at the runway, airplane banking to the left), but from the right seat, just like one of your shots in your previous topic. That would place you a little bit more distant from the window, showing more details of the plane interior

Good evening all...

Thanks Stephane for the feed back and advice...

In shots one and two I was doing a 360 degree turn to show the last rays of the sun but also to try and catch some shadows and sun glare while almost over the same position.

I see what you mean in the last two shots now, I thought about a shot from the right and darn it I rejected it...

Again thanks for the help and advice...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Wow Doug
The first and second are fantastic shots especially the first
Like Daube said though, the angle is repititious, other than that........ awesome 8-)

Thanks everyone for the kind comments but I have to get those cockpit shots better...

As Daube said, back off from the panel and maybe change your eyepoint so the nose cowl does'nt stick up so much.
