BFI 4/12 first RAW shoot

[seahawks7757]

My first shoot in Raw, seems alot easier to edit colors, overexposure and grain in the converter program then just drop in gimp crop resize and sharpen and on your way. Also 3 YES 3 787's today.
The Traditional Number 1 out of the stable first today. Took off very heavy-






And Then #3 Finally came out to play for the frist time since flight 1!

Little bit of sharpening overkill on BOE3, and I'd take the saturation down a tad...it's too much. Also almost all of them need to be leveled with around .5-1.5 degrees CCW rotation. Otherwise they look good, especially for crappy conditions. The beauty of RAW is in the ability to recover.

Ok a little more cautious with the sharpening this time mostly ZA002 will have some more tommorow night.

First my 2 favorite shots from this set-
The Best Angle I have gotten yet of a take off in my opinion (Sorry had to post in original size it is so awesome!!!)-


A nice pan and capture of the Anti-Collision-


And now the rest of the taxi around shots-
Boy is she dirty after being down in the dessert-


Nose and Engine traditional shot-


On the runway after a unplanned RTO-


A nice heads on look with ZA002-


Wide Angle shot of her-


And Delivery Flight of N529AS. Departed from BFI as AS9401-




Hoping to get this one tommorow. It is hanging around the front of the Alaska Hanger right now!
