I hope this doesn[t seem negative but

re both that picture and your pilot (which is fun), I think a lot would be gained by Photoshopping the pictures to get the contrast, light and saturation even.

Re: I hope this doesn[t seem negative but

I've played around with contrast etc quite a lot; the trouble is that some of them were taken in rather poor light. Another snag is that others had to be shot into the sun - not to mention the thunderstorms.

That's a bit better, but resaving JPGs introduces a lot of artefacts if the original was already very compressed.

Re: I hope this doesn[t seem negative but

I tend to tweak them to look a bit on the light side - brings out the detail better. Probably depends on your monitor too. There's also the question of how much to compress them - I've gone for 50%. Uncompressed jpgs of that size are around 0.5-1Mb.

The most useful pics are always aerial shots - can't say I've got round to that! What I try to do is give the 'feel' of a place from the berth you end up in.

PS - I also cheat: the sequence of photos showing how to get in to a place are reversed. It's much easier to take the pics over the stern on the way out, then reverse the order!

Re: I hope this doesn[t seem negative but

It depends on your taste and what you are trying to show. A bit more contrast will always give a little more "apparent" sharpness. I usually try to compress an 800 pixel image down to about 130/40 kB. It depends on the subject detail. It will normally come out about 70-80% compression.
Your reds had got a bit out of hand. If using Photoshop there is a tool under image>adjustments called Replace Colour which will allow you to choose a particular colour and then alter Hue/Saturation/Lightness.
Other programmes may have similar tools hidden away.
