•  Support Nice motive, you captured a good moment here.  Question As we all can see you produce airplane shots of VERY high quality. For me (and I guess for some others too) it would be interesting to hear something about your shooting technique. How complex is your post-processing? --Tuxyso (talk) 07:01, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

• Here (talk) can read all of my answer :-) --Ritchyblack (talk) 14:11, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

The translation of the answer of Ritchyblack from my talk page:
My missing English language skills are the reason why I do not vote for other photos here. Notably for negative votes an in detail justification is very important for further discussion. Positive statements for photos without any explanatory comment seem to be also odd to other users. To the core of your question: On flight shows and car races I photograph with a monopod and ball head. I use the Sigma 50-500 lens with image stabilizer never at open apperture of f5.6/6.3 but at a minimum of f8. On my D700 I prefer higher ISO values instead of open apperture shots. The optimum shutter speed for propeller-driven aircrafts is from my experience between 1/125sec to 1/350sec to preserve the movement of the propeller on the photo. I always expose in manual mode with activated Auto ISO function for compensation of varying brightness. The apperture is oriented to the bright areas on the photo. For exposure measurement I use the spot or integral method to get a rough value for the contrast ratio of the scene. Very often I still use a light meter and other photographers smile at me for that. Compared to the other (smiling) photographers I do not look permantely on the camera display for checking the correct exposure of my photos. I shoot in Nikon RAW format (NEF) import the photos in Lightroom and convert them to the manufacturer-independent Adobe DNG format. The development of the RAW files is done in Lightroom for 98% of my photos. Very important is switch on the lens correction profiles especially for the Sigma lens mentioned above to eliminate its strong vignetting. --Tuxyso (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks Ritchy and Tuxyso for the info. Ritchy; you can vote and express your opinion in German, if you prefer so. This is a multi-lingual, multi-cultural project and "we" have to compromise in many areas. My native language is Malayalam and I think not a single person here in FPC know it.

Indeed; especially if the nominator/creator is also German. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:22, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Cute multicultural discussion, let's keep it up like this. That makes Commons so special. To Ritchyblack: Bitte kommentiere und bewerte auf Deutsch! Deine Bilder lassen uns ahnen wie wichtig uns deine Kommentare wären. Also gib dir 'nen Ruck! -- Arcalino (talk) 21:42, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
