Hi, I would like to know why it missed badly exposed photo. do not know what is wrong with low morning sunlight. I want to know the future time I photographed something early in the morning. :-) Do you think the image is soft?I see various photos, which are much more focused. They are about numbers, white edges. This is me arise and avoid blurred photos. Thank you for your opinions. good health and happiness in the New Year Zdeněk Adamec

Hi To known your camara settings : ISO, speed, f... for this shot can help. Portions in the Citation are a bit soft like the main gears, low fusselage and windows. but sharpness in the cheatlines seems good. I don't like the reflection, and I think to make focus near a reflection is not good for sharpness. I say that because I use always AI Focus mode. My 5 cents, Javier |

There is next to no sharpening in this image. The jagged lines come from image compression. One trick that I used was to import the image into Photoshop, call up levels then hold down the Alt key while adjusting the white triangle to the left. This showed the clipped areas and the sharpening halos. There is none of that here.
Sharpening relies on edge contrast (the difference between two different colours) to work, low light shots do not have much contrast and so make digital noise instead. I would use High pass filtering to sharpen this one with a layer mask to mask out the jagged edges. I would also be tempted to correct the morning glow to get more image contrast and better sharpening. |

Check for any in-camera sharpening, which is the usual culptit. This happens when shooting in RAW mode (Canon picture styles) as well as and especially if you use JPEGs, where the data from the sensor is compressed as the image is stored. For this one reason RAW is superior over JPEG. A selective Sharpening technique is a very good way to reduce jagged edges. |

Such "artistic" photos are not unique I think you should show your art. So far, only write what is wrong here. Your criticism of this collage is correct This post has been edited by Zdenek Adamec on 31st December 2011 - 15:27 Attached photos: |

Well, it is as I thought: Dominik Günther already distributing revenge as 1 point. For criticism of his poor, inexplicably published collages No.174988 :-)) You have inferiority complexes, Günther ? This post has been edited by Zdenek Adamec on 9th January 2012 - 18:12 |

Micha, I really love this shot. If you think it's definitely not original, no photo should be edited then because every edited photo is actually a faked photo. This post has been edited by Emanuel Linert on 6th January 2012 - 00:24 |

Emanuel is true that each frame is modified and therefore not original. It must be done with sensitivity. Nothing will change that collage is no No.174988 disgust and understand that it approved the screener. Your photos are very nice.

@Manuel: You're right ... no question! But isn't it unfair to approve such a "Malen nach Zahlen"-picture instead of a real natural and unchanged shot? It seems so.
And now I'm outa here ... can't find any "remove my account" button ... so please show me.

The rule is, AP accepts composite images, so long as they are clearly described as such in the remarks box. (I think this one should have had remarks added.)
For what it is worth I personally dislike the "Manipulated" argument, from the moment you press the shutter the picture is manipulated, you can not (in my book) even remove as much as a dust spot with manipulating the image. AP allows the cloning of images the difference here is in the size of the cloning and the first rule of cloning is if you can see it then others can too... or the crime is in being caught!
AP is not like the rest, we pride ourselves on thinking differently. I have to wonder at the technical difficulties of being able to frame such a shot, the cloning part is easy compared to getting the two elements together for the shot. |

Hi Wallace, I'm wrong, that this explanation is no longer needed no comment. Just a little note: I do not mind cloned or composite images. I also have. I argue that the picture must look real and technically perfect. It seems that the AP give only technically and compositionally perfect photos. Mostly this is so even though ...... can not be everything without any errors. AP is a very, very good, because it is not the same as most similar. good light Zdenek |

I totally agree with you Zdenek, but also as far as I know, this site is also intended for "artistic" shots, I also "suffered" of : "editor decided not publish it", and also they argued that I must work more on it with filters, my subject was the 787 in Mexico City (wich also is hard to get proper "magic"effects for the screeners,because is a very dusty and rainy and polluted city, just a little bit less than Beijing or another alike).and also I am not a -even-mid master leveled photoshop user. I can now see also that many problems came from your computer, i mean: supposedly if you are working on your PC or your Lap what you see will be different from one to another, also if you are working on Windows or MAC. but I am totally with you in the part of a REAL shot is, and not to "improve it" so far when a fellow come to the same spot space say: this totally different from the photo I saw. Well now I know that this is part of the marvelous aircrafts pix web sites, so I try to keep uploading my shots, and good luck to everyone. greetings from MEX |
