Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

Nice, Yorick... we all see you are really improving these days!
But your pictures are still soft, if you'll sharpen them a little it looks better.

Nice shots.
The pictures are indeed a bit soft, like Boudewijn says.
But I don't think it's a sharpening problem which you can solve in Photoshop completely.
Checking the last shot, it appears that the engines on the right wing are a lot more in focus then the tail.
I'd suspect a focal depth problem on this one.
When I look at your EXIF data, you took the shot with a F-stop of f5.6.
That will cost you your focus on parts of the plane, most of all when you take a shot of a large plane like the Awacs, with around 70 mm.
As a suggestion:
Try to increase the F-stop a few steps. It will cost you some shutterspeed, so perhaps take it back to 1/320 or, in case of an Awacs back to 1/250 (might be tricky, but I think it should be possible)
As a second tip: focus on the fuselage of the plane when you shoot something from the side, not on a wing. Out of focus on text (like a serial) is much easier to see as (e.g.) on a small wing part.
Hope it helps.
With kind regards,
Krazy
