I seem to be having photos rejected lately for oversharpening. i have just started using RAW instead of JPEG.Can anyone give a good tip on how to sharpen correctly and what signs to look out for that my shot is getting oversharp? Still quite new to aviation photography and really want to improve so any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

When the baby began crying during the descent for landing, the mother began nursing the infant as discreetly as possible.

As well as working in an office, I am also a pilot and have seen everything, therefore, I pretended not to notice, and, upon disembarking, I offered my assistance to help with the various baby-related items.

When the young mother expressed her gratitude, I said, "Gosh, that's a good looking baby, and he sure was hungry!"

Somewhat embarrassed, the mother explained that her pediatrician said that the time spent on the breast would help alleviate the pressure in the baby's ears.

I shook my head, and in true pilot fashion exclaimed, "And all these years, I've been chewing gum." ]]> Aviation Jokes cj1994 http://airwayphotos.net/forum/showthread.php?1075-typical-pilot http://airwayphotos.net/forum/showthread.php?1074-It-s-a-bad-time-to-be-a-commercial-pilot&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:47:33 GMT Well just days after the whole Air Canada, Venus incident http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/17737135 there have been reports of a Jetstar pilot aborting a... Well just days after the whole Air Canada, Venus incident
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/17737135
there have been reports of a Jetstar pilot aborting a landing at 392 feet because he forgot to lower the main landing gear. Doesn;t sound too bad until you learn it was because he was texting and despite finishing on his phone at 1000 feet, he "forgot" how to lower the gear... these are the people trusted with the lives of 220 others

The pilot, it turns out, was unconscious, and the plane ultimately slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 135 miles off shore."

"It's unclear if anybody besides the unconscious pilot was onboard the plane, but the Coast Guard is currently conducting a search and rescue operation of the area hoping to find any survivors. "
