A little bit of all. The nightshots (CFF BA#5), FF Qatar#3 and FF Korean#9 were shot with the same lens: PENTAX FA 77mm f1.8 LimitedOne of the best primes you can buy at this length across all brands. See user-ratings (10 is max)In addition the pics are reduced in size a lot, slightly sharpened if needed, level adjusted and de-noised. Et voilà! Of course: it's the situation and me and not the material...  |

Yeah Linie 9, I always wondered how you get your blues to be so blue. Your pictures are so vivid. What kind of adjustments do you do, if any?  |

No adobe made the sky In the past I've only used slide film. It always had to be exposed a little tighter. The shorter the time the more saturated the colors. See yourself: The original is on the top right, the image shown below left. I had to make the sky even brighter!

You used higher sensitivity, lower light, and faster shutter. Correct?  |

No higher sensitivity as usual. I always shoot ISO 400. The A350 MSN2 night shot is another story.
The aperture is constant f:8 - so only longer or shorter exposure time leads to different saturation - see the data under the thumbs.

Until now, everything is clear. Now let's take the last thumb. Completely over exposed: the white parts of the livery are 100% white with no detail and the windows are only dots:  now you can use photoshop or so to reduce the brightness - that doesn't help much:  you can even say: the sky is the darkest color and then use a function to brighten that darkness. That brings the mist and thin clouds into sight. But the over exposed livery is still pure white.  So: my picture shows the white parts of the livery with some detail and the blue sky was that blue. q.e.d.  |

I really like this last one!! Why do you use always the 400ISO?... Fabien |

Because it is 2 steps faster and I get a lot more sharp pictures.

Thanks for the tips Linie 9. Still learning the basics. I always assumed that lowest sensitivity is best for good light conditions and that higher ISO leads to more grain. And then fiddle about with the aperture and shutter speed to control exposure. |
