Forum rules
ImageThis 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.

Paris-Orly 02-05-2009

Post by LifelinerOne »

As mentioned in my earlier topic, I also paid a visit to Orly. I went straight to the park at the southside of the airport. Unfortunately it was a very slow day for traffic. Next to lots of Air France A320's, I took the next pictures:

Iberia/Air Nostrum CRJ:

Just a regular Iberia A320:

Also from Spain:

And from it's neighbour Portugal:

Air France CRJ's:

Transavia's French Connection:

And the only widebody movement during my visit:

That's all folks! Next stop was Le Bourget, see my next upcoming topic.

Although the basics of the shots look OK, it seems to me you overedited the planes.
The white on the planes is white alright, but to me it seems you used a bit too much of Brightness/Contrast, making the details on the fuselage dissappear and the colours look a bit odd.
I assume you only used this on the planes, as the backgrounds look more 'normal' to me.

Good luck on your editing, the shots themselves are fine.

Kind Regards,

Ard (who needs more practice on both the shooting AND the editing part)

Hi Lifeliner

thank you for the report, I have one question.
Normally when they land on the south runway the planes do not taxi all the way to the end.
Was the intersection taxiway closed?

Thanks EC

Hi Ard,

funny thing is I didn't edited my pictures much. However, the light that day was very strange and extremely bright, despite the overcast. I think the overcast combined with sun screwed up my white-balance somewhat.

Well, these planes were just rolling out after landing. There were quite some planes which exited earlier and I didn't see them coming along.

Cheers!
