hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi all! One edit from me, Losing The Battle Not sure about the background, should be sunrise! C+C please! Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 It's a nice image, there is just a concept error, IMO. When you shoot a photograph in such lighting conditions, you obtain just dark silhouettes. That's because the camera measures the light around all the photogram. In this case, the vivid sunrise light tells the shutter to remain almost closed, so giving the right exposition to the sky, but resulting in a dark silhouette for the aircraft. On the opposite, if you set the camera to measure the light on the aircraft, you will obtain a correctly exposed aircraft, but an almost white background. Ciao! P.S. as a reminder, I'm italian, so please sorry for some language mistakes! :blush Edit: another thing... in the background the light should come from below, but the aircraft is lit from above.

hurricanemk1c 195 Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hi! This is my second composite, and the A/C was taken from a mid-eveing shot in FS Thanks! Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Kieran As aviation art this is great, as Rosario commented, technically it is flawed but the message is there which I picked up on and enjoyed :wink: If Steve was around he would have given the same advice as Rosario, I have difficulties too when creating edits, you really have to think the situation through. So its a big yes! from me, thanks for posting. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
reef 3 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Above all i value other peoples opinions on my shots more than how i feel it looks. This is how i have improved over time so am always happy for somone to say no, thats not right. I agree with Rosariomanzo and feel the shot could be improved. I understand also this is your second composite and in my opinion, composites are by far the hardest edits to get right. Be wary of trusting FS to get your lighting right. When the sun sets below the horizon and all is dark, quite often my aircraft remains very bright which shows, it can get it very wrong. Look forward to more and if any questions you want to ask feel free, i'm sure others and myself would always do their best to answer. steve Link to post Share on other sites
