I took this pic at Parents Weekend at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The original pic did not have very much color in the sky, so I decided to warm up the White Balance to make it look better. Any thoughts on the pic, or on the way I edited it?
ISO – 100
Shutter speed – 1/800
f/5.6
55mmAttachments:
Like your choice of white balance shift. If the sky wasn’t vibrant blue, than there wouldn’t be much interest since it would be so normal. The warm tone makes it feel old-time or historic.
I’m glad it’s not a photo of a single plane dead center in the frame. The off-centered subjects are important, and it’s nice to have those clouds on the right to balance it out.
I don’t exactly know how I would better frame it. I don’t really know how I would better shoot an airshow frankly. The more planes in the pic the better I would assume.
In processing, perhaps increase the Clarity or sharpness.
Thank you for the critique! I was trying to get the old-timey look, because the pic basically looked like it was black and white until you zoomed in and saw the color on the plane! Here is another shot I got, I again warmed up the white balance for the same reasons! 🙂 Any thoughts?

i feel like I’m looking at sepia photo from a history book (disregarding the model of plane) I think I like the effect. I might try cropping a little higher to give a little more air above the top plane.
I’ve never shot an airshow myself. Having my brother-in-law in the past about it, I remember him recommending that one play around with a slightly lower shutter speed for prop driven aircraft. Some people like to get just a little blur in the prop to give the impression of movement, but not so much that the blades completely disappear. I really like how you timed that first shot in regards to the plane’s location relative to the clouds.Nice comment about the propellers, @nasa! I would never have thought of that!
@jinnyschober, great way to frame a set of four in a composition! I don’t think I would have thought of that either. 🙂 It’s hard that there’s not as much texture, and it seems slightly blurred to me.I don’t know what program you have for adding borders, but something a little less stark or digitized in appearance seems to suit my fancy a little better.
