SGA DC-10-30
FS Skyworld

Love the travelling gear!

It is somewhat of a boring shot but I wanted to focus on the plane. The gear at least gave it something.

It is somewhat of a boring shot

Au contraire! I'm loving it! There's a lot to look at ... gear, tail, clouds, horizon, colors, trying to make out what's written on the fuselage ... and that is immediately the 'minus' in this shot: there could've been a little more light on the fuse.

But This shot has excellent dynamics; the rain 'stripes' give the shot a great sense of speed and the retracting gears add to the 'live' feel of the shot. I always try to add dynamics to my shots, so it's never just a shot of an aircraft. There must be something going on in the shot, whether that is retracting gears or something to look at in the background ... that is what makes a shot great to look at.

If your eyes are drawn to multiple points in a shots then you know you have a winner

Hope this helps ... good luck!

Superbly done shot!

I'm sorry, I just can't say it any better than this. Excellent job! 8-)

Excellent, excellent, excellent!  ;)

i was trying to post a picture earlier, but i can't get the file size small enough it seems. what program do you pro's use to keep the good quality, but not make the file to big?

awesome!

I use IRfanview with the riot plug-in. There is a newer version now but I have noy switched yet.

thx for the help TRFlyman1. i'll give that prog a shot, and maybe you'll see my shot here soon as well.

Love the shape of DC10s - great lighting under the wing.
