Take off at sunrise

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A nice shot of the sunrise Ree.
Somewhat difficult to avoid I know, but I find the wing quite distracting. Especially since it's quite OOF. I would increase the exposure on this (providing you shot in raw) and see how you go. Nothing you can do about the OOF wing. A nice shot all the same though.

Big dynamic range to handle with those highlights, but more importantly was the ride fun?

What sort of aeroplane was it???
Tough stuff to get a decent shot through a crazed windscreen in low light with a propellor whizzing around.

It might come up a bit better with a levels play :idea:

We had a fantastic sunrise in Brissie this morning. I was stuck on the ground due weather unfortunately otherwise there could have been some really nice shots.

I was so busy reading all the other posts that I din't notice replies to mine!
Was reading some of my past posts looking for some imformation given to me and found that I hadn't responded to my own post!

Soooo....

Steve .... The plane was a twin duchess (aka the duck), it is hard to take photos from any small plane. The duck is one of the hardest due to the fact that the prop is RIGHT in the way :twisted: and there is always bumps to deal with to boot!
I will have a go at the levels thanks for that :D

Mudder .... The ride was ho hum...was just glad to be getting back home, we were delayed by weather for 2 extra days!

Geoff ... Thanks for the C/C sadly I didn't take is one in raw... I agree it is under expo'ed
Cheers REE :shock:
