Calm Before the Storm

I would like to perfect my editing skills as well as my photography

skills. If you like, let me know, not only if you like the

photography, but also if you have any pointers on its editing.

Thanks.

Kevin,

 

Start with your best shots - you can't edit it quality - practice, shoot from different angles, different lighting, and different filters - photoshop can't add quality - only you can.

As a Photolithography engineer - I make chips - even my hobby in photography helps me think before I shoot.

 

Basics are best....use your heart and mind in the shots

i think that you might have a slight bit too much ground. A common critique i have gotten (on an aviation photo website) is to always try and get lower, and get less ground and more sky. Also, there is something weird about that red light, not sure if i like that or not and if it can be fixed but otherwise i think its fantastic.

Both advice is very good thanks. I will definately keep them in mind, especially in my aviation photography.

So I'm asking myself, what statement are you trying to make here? And the best I can figure, you're going for a surreal look. To heighten that, maybe you want to minimize the ordinary or non-surreal elements of the picture. Dan is right, a lot less grass would be better. In fact, I would go for a really tight crop on the plane, just enough to get the interesting lights and sky in the picture. Then maybe dial up the saturation even more to increase the other-worldly blue color of the plane.
