Hello! I have two questions that are somewhat related to each other.
1. Photography from a commercial airplane. What suggestions do you have for taking pictures from a commercial airplane? How to make them sharper and overcome some type of cast that is often seen in the day-time images of this kind (not clouds yet, but enough to decrease he overall contrast)? How to avoid the flat look of the images (e.g. when taking photos of the mountains below)? I remember somebody's advise that one shouldn't use polarizers while shooting through airplane windows, but don't remember why. Can someone clarify this? 2. When do you use sharp/unsharp filters in the PS or other software? (any hints on how to judge a reasonable level?) As an example, here is my photo of San Diego downtown taken from the plane. It is not a photo for presentation, just something that I am practicing on, and I am not happy with it. I wonder what else can be done to improve it. "original" photo: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/SanDiego/IMGP2417-2sm.jpg and the one after "unsharpen mask" applied in PS: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/SanDiego/IMGP2417-2sharpsm.jpg In your opinion, is this image oversharpened? The full size JPEGS are ~2MB each are in this location: http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/SanDiego/ Thank you, Igor
