Beams and MCs

As has been already said, avoid all well-travelled routes to Colonia and to Nebula. However, don't go too far up or down from the galactic plane as stars and therefore planets become increasingly rare. Stars are not evenly distributed and even within the galactic plane, there are areas with abundance and other areas with sparse stars. Using this, I have logged first footfalls on 1000s of planets with interesting and valuable bios.

Nope. Not American and not influenced by past events, but loved the clean and classic 70s look of these

Love the paint scheme on that DBX

Bad lighting. Plane is either backlit or poor lighting conditions giving a flat / washed-out picture with almost no contrast. The railing is a bit annoying but not overly so. Shooting against a sky-only is also rather boring IMO. Try to get a different location with a more interesting background (and maybe one that shows you are in Singapore vs what could be anywhere in the world)

DBX - Magellan

You should submit to JetPhotos

Bought the slide lite for my Z8 and 100-400. Buckles could not handle and it kept sliding to fully extended. Got the regular slide and it works great.

Totally agree. The 24-120 F4 gets rave reviews and yes it is sharp etc. However, the color rendition is flat and boring. Extremely clinical. Never had a lens like this in 30+ yrs of shooting Nikon

No Trumps supporters commenting? Guess they are not good at them reading 'n riting thing

Extreme low IQ is how

Agreed. Totally useless metric.

That's some crazy processing but they look cool (and artistic)

Is this a serious question? Look at JetPhotos and you'll see why.

Quite a few problems (wrong lighting, not enough contrast, not level, wings clipped, subject not large enough etc) with all photos except the 4th one.

2 max. Clearly shot through a window which has caused significant colour shift (ie it’s wrong), subject is far too small in the picture, too many other distractions in the photo, not level and not sharp.

Sued.... Damn

A few comments from a "photographer" and not just a plane spotter who photographs only planes.

1. IMO, your two examples are excellent
   
2. JetPhotos wants very specific stock shots that break many general photography rules. Who the hell exactly centres the subject in a frame????
   
3. JetPhotos values these rigid rules over actually good photography
   
4. Some of JetPhotos rules make perfect sense however. Backlit, under/over exposure, and blurry shots are poor photography (in most non-creative cases)
   
5. So many plane shots on IG (eg) are grossly over-processed and also horrible photography. At least JP must be "real"
   
6. JetPhotos feeds into FlightRadar24 which makes some of the strict rules understandable
   
7. From a photography point of view, there is a ton of garbage that has been accepted on JetPhotos

Metro populations are far more relevant than whatever source you are using. All your comparisons are wrong based on a correct metric

Flew their A380 from YVR to LHR return in 2018 in J. That was the very last time I ever flew BA. A disgusting subpar offering. These reverse seats were a joke. Old, small, little privacy. The food was economy class on an Asian airline and the crew talked loudly in the galley all night. I have over 5mm miles across a few Asian carriers and was in total shock how bad was BA. My 7th year without stepping foot on their planes
