Guest flatfour Posted January 26, 2007 Share #3 Posted January 26, 2007 More like an athlete not even stopping to take on liquid. How did you manage to get the shot ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted January 26, 2007 Anthony Believe me, Harrier pilots take on plenty of liquid, 3 tons in the air and less, but of more A.B.V. in the bar later!! Answer to the other question.........with difficulty! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neila Posted January 26, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 26, 2007 Love it! It's surreal really - seemingly 'static' objects flying through the air, pilot sitting idle. It's nothing like that, hence the surreal feel (to me). Great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 26, 2007 Share #6 Posted January 26, 2007 Dave - Superb for its framing and details, and now we know where your avatar came from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 27, 2007 Share #7 Posted January 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) David - I hope you don't mind. I agree with you about the blue cast on the others, but on this one it seemed a bit much, and the haze was hiding too much of the details in my opinion. Therefore....

farnz Posted January 29, 2007 Share #8 Posted January 29, 2007 David, Superb shot - it feels like the Harrier's sitting in my lap! Was this taken with the FZ10 that you mentioned at the Cittie of Yorke? I agree with Stuart that removing the haze has revealed more detail. (Stuart, please pardon the intrusion but how did you remove the haze?) Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted January 29, 2007 Share #9 Posted January 29, 2007 Doing an Auto-Color in PS will remove the blue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 29, 2007 Share #10 Posted January 29, 2007 Pete - I did an auto exposure in ACD See, and then backed off the slider about 2/3 of the way to preserve the amount of blue you see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted January 29, 2007 Share #12 Posted January 29, 2007 Thanks, Stuart and Andy. Doh! Here I was presuming that you'd used 19 adjustment layers, a mask or two and some dodging and burning for good measure! Sometimes the simplest things elude us! A certain adage about 'wood' and 'trees' seems appropriate. Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted January 29, 2007 Share #13 Posted January 29, 2007 David, Couldn't resist having a go with this special image. Just an extra bit of TLC and here you are. It's a joy. Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted January 29, 2007 Share #14 Posted January 29, 2007 What a great shot Dave! The latter two adjusted images make it even better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhsimmonds Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted January 30, 2007 Thanks for all the comments and advice fella's. Yes Pete it was taken with the FZ10 that I now wish I had never sold! It had just the most awesome lens. Thanks to Stuart and Rolo for the adjustments which as I mentioned to Andy in a reply to his tactful PM, I actually did correct this in PS, printed to 16x12 and got a competition placing OK, but at exhibition the judge commented that as an aviation photographer himself, the RAF camouflage colour was wrong so he only gave me a Cert. of Merit but accepted the print for exhibition! He was absolutely right, the adjusted colours whilst giving a far more aesthetically pleasing picture are totally inaccurate from an aviators perspective. So since then I have always shown the image with the colours "unadjusted". It also make's me realise just how good a camouflage the RAF colours are!
