Bill, you might want to play around with metering modes on your camera. Center weight might do the trick.

I don't know how it is with JP and it's selection menu for specials, but anet has only two options clearly explained. This aircraft is a special scheme, but it would be ticked off as normal on anet.

Rejected for similar photo uploaded. Blast!

* "image quality"
* "too much grain or digital noise"
* oversharpened
* soft

I really love how it gets both the oversharpened reason as well as the "soft" one, for which the rejection e-mail suggests extra sharpening is required.

Gordan its not a dry spell...Most of those photos have visable dust spots and were overexpoused. I think you need to take a step back and really look at you're camera settings and you're post processing. You've displayed fantastic shots in the rather recent past but these well....you know. Its great to get shots up on both JP.net and A.net but you just can't throw everything up and say "well I'll take a chance." From all my shots this past weekend I only uploaded three from JFK, not saying the others weren't uploadable but its about quality and not quantity.

A very good point Tommy. I've been having some exposure issues with my new camera and well yes I agree my shots have not been that great lately.

Gordon my eyes still hurt from looking at the supertanker!

Let us check your settings. I mean I just got back from shooting in the highest, harshest light and my pics are fine. When you shoot do you check the histogram and see how your shots are coming out? Adjusting accordingly? I didn't even have to touch the exposure comp today just get the camera set where it needs to be. Trial and error while you shoot. Practice and experiment and you will start nailing the exposure.

**SP-LPB** · 09-05-2007, 08:55 PM

That Evergreen shot also has editing issues, there is a red spot to the upper left. Tough on the eyes is the other thing.

There are very easy methods to avoid this, looking at a histogram and bumping up/down your exposure settings- as Nick wrote is one way. Also have strategies when you see an all white plane in good light conditions, figure out what you should do exposure wise. Consult your histogram thereafter. Also shooting in RAW guarantees, that if the photo is overexposed or underexposed, it could be fixed. This theory of "getting it right the first time" is complete baloney, you can't always be perfect. I rather shoot in RAW and readjust my photo, than to upload a photo that is blown out or underexposed and have it rejected. Why sweat over something when you can avoid it?

Swiss A330: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1574861
- Dark / Underexposed = It was properly exposed but I made it a little too dark in Photoshop
- Bad Info in the following field(s): Airline = Auto-fill labeled it "Swissair" which I didn't fix :roll:

Evergreen Supertanker: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1574757
- Bad Composition (bad framing / aircraft not centered) = I guess it's a bit low in the frame, needs to be re-cropped

Quite a few this time...

**FlyNavy** · 09-06-2007, 03:45 PM

This was rejected for undersharpened/soft. I'm assuming in the nose area. Anyway, I layered it out and applied another pass of USM to the nose and merged the image back down. I think it improved it a little, but it's borderline oversharpened now. It's just one of those shots...ugh!

This was undersharpened/soft as well: http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1578785. I applied another pass of USM for it.

Is it worthwhile appealing http://www.jetphotos.net//viewreject_b.php?id=1578081 ? I didn't capture the heli close up intentionally to leave more of the background and pads in.

I disagree Jakub. Sure RAW is great to the point if you don't nail the exposure you can fix it, but I still think you should try and get the best possible capture. I mean Film SLRs had nearly none of the technology we have now in these DSLRs and you had to get the exposure and everything right the first time. If we just shoot away and edit the crap out of them then RAW turns into the "crutch" Mario spoke about. I use RAW because if I shoot something with the exposure slightly off I can fix it but mostly for WB and the certain color casts we encounter from time to time. You can also fix contrast issues etc. If I shoot something and the exposure is way off the file never makes it to ACR. Let's learn to use our cameras more and PS less. Someone once told me if you take more than 5 mins to edit a picture it ain't worth it. Unless of course your sensor is dirty. :mrgreen:

I don't think I'd bother appealing. On opening the shot you're eye is all over the place and not really focused on anything. If you can I'd crop the shot much closer to the heli, you'd have a nice caputure with a great background then. The heli pads and all the landscape just don't lend anything to the shot, simply speakng there is to much going on with no subject.
