Any photographers in here?

[FlyinHawaiian]

Nice info. I'm going to an air show very soon and will photograph for the first time.

For jets, a high shutter is fine, and even better because you can freeze any vapor coming off the wings, for prop aircraft, its better to go for the prop arc, but requires good panning and a steady hand!

Here are some examples:

Lighten it up a tad and I think this is one of the best photos you've ever taken dude... Love it!

 

[sleeper3]

Thanks!

I fight exposure compensation in post... I'm always asking myself what looks good vs what it actually looked like etc etc. I never know. I try to only PP no more than 5 photos at a time now, or else I start getting sloppy.

i know the feeling. also what i think looks good on my monitor at home is totally different at work. i can only assume it looks different on other peoples monitors as well.

Exactly. Everyones monitor is different. I fight this battle all the time with clients. Color, brightness, color temp, etc. is not the same.

Thx Flyin for the pointers.

Your best bet is to calibrate your monitor with a kit. Then you know that you're going to get what you see when you print it. If other's monitors are screwed up, no biggie.
