Well, we have a thread for acceptances, but how about a palce to show the photos that people wouldn't otherwise get to see?

Post links to your rejected JetPhotos.net or Airliners.net photos here!

PLEASE do not use this thread for complaining. There is a clear difference between showing disappointment for a rejection and complaining.

Post em!

I was waiting for a thread like this to start :)

The only problem is that I think the links will no longer work after 7 days?

I thought about this. Often, the older replies, especially the ones 7 days old, will be buried and no longer looked at by people. Since people will post them here probably within the first day of being rejected, I doubt many will end up looking at bad links.

Folks are also welcome to use other hosting sites for their pics, as many do.

Also keep in mind that Airliners.net rejections often go to MyAviation.net (if you selected that), which is permanant.

Great thread idea Phil. Some of us, myself VERY MUCH included have shots that don't make the grade but we still want to share with the group and maybe the world. So here is my first of many for this thread I'm sure, this is from yesterday. This A-380 shot was just to soft and my weak PS skills could not get it any better. While it is soft I like the angle showing off the flaps and the white belly illuminated by the snow on the ground !

Jordan the Bad Composition (bad framing / aircraft not centered) rejection doesn't just mean centering. When a photo is sized to an odd size we use this rejection to. In your case you edited the photo to 823x670. The pic itself is pretty much centered just the size is odd.

That makes sense, that was my first upload to JPnet, so I was a little confused

This one was rejected as "overexposed." I don't know if my monitor calibration differs that much from JP screeners, but I've had a couple of others rejected for same (e.g, A380 photos) and I end up toning down the image so that it looks underexposed on my monitor. There aren't (m)any blown highlights, according to ACR, so is there just something I'm missing?

Thoughts on this one? Was rejected for:

- Bad Composition (bad framing / aircraft not centered)
- Undersharpened (Soft)

I'm concerned about the bad composition - I've gotten a couple of those lately, and I can't see what the problem is.

Moose - absolute laymans look - too much air above the plane compared to underneath - that's what I've found when I've had those...

Like Mark said, it looks low in the frame and it might fit a bit better if you had a tad more space in the front and rear of the plane.

2007-03-25, 10:38 AM
John besides low in the frame what size are you cropping the photo to? The size looks to be on of those odd sizes. If you cropping to 1024, set your size to 1024x703.

I'm using a 5 to 3 ratio, so it comes out 1024x614 - almost everything I've uploaded to JP.net has been that size.

Usually for vertical centering, I put the center point of the crop box on the centerline of the fuselage (around window level) but with the size of the tail on this one, I tried to have similar spacing between the top of the tail and the bottom of the fuselage to the borders. Guess I'll go back and have another shot at that.

Moose, use either 3 to 2 or 14.45cm to 9.64cm. When resizing just put either 1024 or higher (depending on the quality) for the width and don't put anything for height, click ok and PS will choose the best height automatically.

Nope its not level, if you look at the various poles in the background they all are tilting to the right. I'd rotate the shot .1 or .2 CCW and sharpen it up a bit, should be good to go then.

The light poles, and even the roofs in the background, look to be leaning left. I thought someone mentioned that up thread when you first posted this one. Shouldn't be difficult to fix.

Don't get hung up on just the poles. They can be deceiving especially if they are not sitting stright. The trick is the horizon. Look at the picture without concentrating on the plane and you will instantly see how the shot is leaning to the left. Once you get some practice you will be able to look at the horizon and then the buildings as a whole and see how level the shot is without trusting poles.

Phil equalize the pictures and you'll see the dust spots. I can see them without equalizing the pictures. You have some in the upper right and lower left corners. The one on the lower left is rather large.

Lower your ISO to, looks like you were shooting in ISO 400 or above. My recommendation for shooting at the Marina, first only shoot there after 2 PM from May to October otherwise the light is really harsh. Second, shoot in shutter mode at 500th of a second at ISO 100 or 200. On a bright sunny day ISO 100 is your best bet.

moose135
2007-05-09, 11:56 AM
Phil, another tip, in addition to what Tommy noted about ISO...it looks like the sky is grainy in some of your shots. When you sharpen the photo, do you select only the aircraft? If not, that can cause you problems with grain in the sky as well.

pgengler
2007-05-09, 12:10 PM
Actually, the ISO for those was only 250 (which I used over 100 because I wanted to keep the shutter speed up, especially with the big 100-400 lens)

Going back to the originals, it looks like there's noise in the sky even without sharpening (sigh); I'll have to try just selecting the plane for sharpening, though. Thanks.

Unsharp mask in photoshop (Filter-sharpen-unsharp mask) You will also hear it called USM (UnSharp Mask)

Over Processed/bad postprocessing means that the there was to much editing done to the photo. A few of these have a glow around the plane which indicates you edited them to the point the shot doesn't look real. The one's that are oversharpen do have alot of jaggies. What are you using to edit your pics?

I'm not sure what the screener meant by categories, its not a biz jet, they might have been looking for "vintage." I'd sharpen it up a touch and re-upload it. Leave the screener a comment it was rejected for categories but your not sure if it should be vintage or not. Sometimes the screener will check the right category if that's the case.

Eric, those are a nice batch of shots but I can see why the Air Pacific might have gotten rejected. It appears that the nose of the aircraft blends into the white tank behind it. The Singapore shot looks a little over exposed at well but then again what do I know! :lol:

Overexposed. The front is a little bright, but no worse than a lot of other shots in the database. I've got a couple other in the sequence that may prove more workable. Also soft, but that's still me getting a feel between my personal tolerance for sharpness and what the screeners want.

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1478110
Didn't know whether to submit with the whole rotor, or to cut off the front blade, and crop to the body. A little brighter and a little sharper on the edit, fine, whatever. Again, by the time I think something looks too altered for the brightness or too over-sharp, it's just getting started for them.

Both def need a bit more USM, I'd give about 140 percent and the Helio I think you can increase the levels without doing any harm to the pic. Not sure why it was rejected though for composition, looks fine to me. I wouldn't have rejected it for that. I think you can save these two shots with a bit more work.

To bad about this shot, the boggiest issue is its overexposed otherwise I think you could have had a real winner. The heat distortion is hardly noticeable if at all. As for the framing that would have been an easy fix. Can't fix an over espoused shot unless you shot it raw, to bad really.

Looks like there wasn't enough light Eric. You can try to add some light in PS. Without seeing how the pic looks as shot it's hard to say. I don't like to make big changes in exposure or white balance in ACR. Give it a try though.

I think the aircraft cut-off refers to the fact that your picture only has half of the #1 engine. If you submitted with either the whole engine in OR out of the picture that one would probably get cleared up. Am I right Tommy?

Matt,

On your P-47, the missing serial number is 44-90447, from the FAA N-Number registry (http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry ... nquiry.asp (http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_inquiry.asp)) Don't know what category you selected, but for war birds, with a civilian registration, you should select "Civilian" not "Military".

As Fred mentioned, the two formation shots are not P-51s as you indicated.

It does have some JPEG artifacts around the NWA logo and the windows, and also on the tail. But I only noticed it because I spent two years working for a company that makes image compression software. You might be able to fix the windows in PS, if the problem exists in your source image. And you should definitely be able to fix the tail.

nwafan20
2007-07-17, 10:32 PM
May seem off-topic, but after looking at Ryan's DC-9, what the flip is jpeg artifacting?

I don't think thats off topic

Jpeg artifacting is when you compress an image into a smaller file size, some data is is discarded by the program that is changing the file size. Technically speaking, since Jpeg images aren't lossless, all images suffer from artifacting, but usually that is not noticeable. Basically, there are a few types of compression, contouring, posterizing and blockiness.

If you open up a photo in photoshop and go to save it, drag the quality bar less than 12 and save it (lets say, save it as 3) now look at the file, you will notice the artifacting, in the case of Ryans Dc-9 photo, you can see it around parts of the fuselage, like the nwa symbol and windows. Iv'e seen rejections at A.net and Jetphotos for compression, but it was actually oversharpening, but its not likely in this case, because the rest of the image is not super-sharp.

Ryan, is your photoshop quality setting set to 12 (highest)?

I hope that answers your question.

Ryan it looks like it could use a little more sharpening. Not sure why you got the bad quality rejection tho.

Bad quality is a BS reason to reject a picture like this. According to some Anet screeners, Anet uses this reason when they feel a picture is overall "ok" but doesn't meet with their standards and they can't pinpoint what exactly they should reject it for, sort of a contradiction IMO. A quality rejection should only be given to a picture that is really bad.

It's clearly stated on anet that the rejection reason for bad quality is just that so what is the issue? It's their standards, not ours. I took at look Justin Idle's pic of the same aircraft in the same position, I am assuming they shot together but his looks a tad better and a little more sharp on this crappy work monitor. A better edit may be all it needs.

It's a fine line Mario. I've gotten a number of rejections on photos I thought were oversharpened. Usually when I think it's good, I give it another pass of USM. I guess it's the difference in calibration between my eyes and the screeners. 8)

You have dust/dirt on your sensor, which is why you have a few dust spots on the image. Try cloning them out and use equalize to see where the spots are easier. But don't clone while equalize is on.

moose135
2007-07-23, 02:55 PM
Try cloning them out and use equalize to see where the spots are easier. But don't clone while equalize is on.

Here's a trick I learned for PhotoShop (should work in PS Elements as well) - create a duplicate layer, and equalize that layer so you can see the dust spots (actually, I select just the sky and equalize that, it helps them stand out even more.) In your layer control window (not sure if that's what it's really called) select the original layer, but leave the top, equalized, layer visible. I then clone as I normally would, but you won't see any results as you go along. When I think I've gotten them all, I discard the equalized layer, and check the original layer (equalizing if needed). If I missed any dust spots, I simply repeat the process.

TAM
Eric you use PS correct? The TAM seems like you over did it. I'd reduce the HUE and the sharpening. Also are you deselecting the sky? If not I would. I always leave the sky as is and never increase the blueness of it, when you do it seems the entire photo looks to worked over.

Southern Air
I don't think the Southern Air is soft, in fact to me it looks over sharpened, its def overexposed. Try shooting in TV mode next time at 500th to 800th of a second, I know you have a 30D and that's what I've been using with great success.

Same suggestion as the TAM, it’s not soft though.

On your Emery you have jaggies all over the place and the overall look is way overdone. Back off a bit. The light was perfect when we shot at Ikea so you shouldn't need much USM.

I think I see one above the Delta title 6 windows back or so. Looks big too. As for the overprocessing after I equalized it I see this big mess at the bottom left corner where it looks like you went ape with the spot healing brush. Use clone stamp to clean dust spots. Also clean your camera so you don't get them.

Also if you equalize it the halo is clear as day.

As for the Delta 757 you have a huge dust spot in the upper left corner right against the border.

I knew this would be a tough shot - there isn't really anything I can see to level it. The copter isn't level as it comes down to land, the race track in the background angles away from you, so the wall and building behind it aren't really straight as you view them, and the campers in the infield are at all sorts of angles. Any ideas, or does this stay in the personal collection?

Halos appear when you use USM improperly. Check the radius you are using. If it's too much you will get the halo effect.

The Netjets scheme isn't easily rescued. Even before sharpening, it was starting to get a case of the jaggies. I'll take another stab at this one.
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1543315

The lighting conditions were tough - I was hoping a good composition and the uniqueness of the Osprey would help, but I guess not. The levels on the haze grey body are about as high as they can go before the sky becomes a blinding white blob.
http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject_b.php?id=1543386

Bad framing. It's 117 pixels from the top of the winglet to the edge, 130 pixels from the lowest point on the wing; 9 pixels on the left, 16 pixels on the right. I'm not whiny enough to appeal, but it's not worth the effort to re-edit, either.

Mateo I think you can save all three of those, the bizjet just needs to be sharpened less, all biz jets will have jaggies in the cheatlines. When you sharpen it just watch the edges for jaggies to appear. The Osprey I think can be corrected using levels pretty easily and again just watch the sharpening. The AS is an easy fix but again all three can be redited and sent back up, not bad shots at all.

Gordon, I think your 707JT shot is great. I am a little surprised it was rejected solely for "clutter" when all that is present besides the plane are a couple of cones on the ground and the stairs at the front door. I have seen pictures on both a.net and jp.net with both cones and stairs present in the picture.

That being said, on my screen there appears to be a very slight blue cast in the picture. If you fix that, I'd try uploading to a.net.

Great job on that picture.

Josh, I actually had the picture in the a.net queue but when I saw it was rejected on jp I took it out. I'll work on the blue tint and throw it back in.

Here is a rejection I got from anet this morning for quality:

Looks low to me Stuart. It may measure out the same from the wheels down and tail up, but it appears unbalanced to me. What I usually do when cropping is put the center point (cross-hairs) of the crop box on the window line of the fuselage, that usually results in a crop that "feels" centered. I may need to vary it a little depending on the aircraft type or angle of the shot, but that gives me a good starting point.

Stuart, this is the same method I use, BUT, you have to measure from the lowest part of the aircraft and the uppermost part of the aircraft. I "measured" your pic and you have 1.75 inches from the top to the top of tail and only 1.5 inches from the bottom to the nose gear. It needs to go UP in the frame about 1/4 of an inch to balance it out. The angle of the aircraft doesn't help you as the fuselage is angled up due to the fact its not a true side-on.

I would avoid doing things like that. Use the grid but also look at the pic without the grid. Center the fuselage. It takes a lot of practice but you can get a feel for what is properly centered by eye.

2007-08-18, 11:28 AM
I used the grid to help when measuring and will move the picture up. I was told by the screener to make the windowline the center.

The common rejection is based on pics in the DB not a certain area. There is 200 pics of that bird so the bar is very high to get it accepted.
As for the sharpness it looks marginal. Try it with a little less USM.

Common is a total BS rejection... The plane is being shown in a different place at a different time and I don't know too many people who can get a shot of it from EWR tower with that angle, so please don't tell me the bar is raised, Bill would be the one raising the bar.

The second one needs a bit of USM but quality.....again complete and utter bull**** and a slap in the face. Bill's shot is a good shot and certainly not bad quality, a picture taken with a cell phone camera is bad quality. Both those shots would get over 10k views as A.net, no doubt. I wonder how happy Demand Media would be if they saw how much revenue would be lost because of decisions like this? I'm happy I'm associated and volunteer with a site that sees this hobby from and enthusiast standpoint. The screeners who rejected those shots should be ashamed of themselves.

Tommy you love to argue points we have no control over. It's not what we think it's what they want in the DB. The common rejection is not BS, it simply states if there is a lot of pictures of a certain aircraft the quality has to be of the highest for acceptance. Thats all. Bill's pic is nice but has some minor flaws that can probably be fixed.


a picture taken with a cell phone camera is bad quality

Huh?

Tommy this enthusiast stuff is so old and should be put to bed. The screeners on anet are just as much enthusiasts as everyone else in the hobby and are not in the business of rejecting stuff for reasons detremental to the hobby. There are other avenues to deal with rejections, such as appeal, posting the pic and seeing if it can be saved with a new edit etc. A rant on the conspiracy theory is not the way and is counterproductive.

1. Bill's shot is not common, it was taken from EWR tower....hardly a common shot.
2. Bill's shots are of good quality and that the quality rejections should be used for truly bad shots like ones that are taken and uploaded from a camera phone.
3. I think I'm allowed to state my support and appreciation for working for JP.net.
4. Its dollars and sense, Bill's shot would have been a big hitter adding a few bucks to A.net's bottom line.

NIKV69

Read this.

COMMON
The aircraft depicted in your photos was very common in the Airliners.net database, with many photos of this aircraft already present on the website.

In this case the standards for acceptance are higher than for aircraft of which we have fewer or no photographs on the database, and only photos of exceptional quality will be accepted.


Please understand that this is not a judgement on your abilities, as your picture may be of a technical quality which may be very decent. However, due to the common nature of the aircraft photographed, the highest standard is applied to avoid substantial duplication.


2. Bill's shots are of good quality and that the quality rejections should be used for truly bad shots like ones that are taken and uploaded from a camera phone.


Why is that? Camera phone? I think we passed that level long time ago. Anet standards are exactly that. Their own. If you upload you have to understand this.


3. I think I'm allowed to state my support and appreciation for working for JP.net.


We are all well aware of this Tom. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-12/905683/nopity.gif


4. Its dollars and sense, Bill's shot would have been a big hitter adding a few bucks to A.net's bottom line.


If you have a crystal ball that can tell how many hits a pic will get that's great but I think we're reaching here. I would encourage Bill to try to save the shot with another edit. Possibly contact the screener that rejected the shot and seek his advice.

No Tom I am just trying to discuss the matter of Bill's shots without interjecting bias as you do. You want everyone to buy into some notion that anet is not for aviation enthusiasts because they reject shots you feel should be accepted. This is not only crazy but I feel prevents photogs from taking a pic that has been rejected and doing the work in PS to get it accepted. As I have shown the common rejection on anet is well explained and not BS as you claim. If you read the last line it said it is NOT a judge of one abilities. I just feel that this is a photography forum and people here seek help not propaganda. As a screener yourself I would bet you get emails on pics you rejected as you can do at anet. The screeners there are very helpful and accomadating and always aere willing to help. I would bet if Bill posted either or both of his pics in av-photo on anet and asked the screener who rejected it as to what is needed to fix the shot he would get a response and with another edit could get the pics uploaded.

The thousands and thousands pictures in the database of airborne side profile shots is common.

Arrrg. Bill you have to undertand the common rejection. Anet is not saying your shot is common. They are saying that with 200 pics of an aircraft in the DB the standards are much higher. Now, with this said your shot can have a minor flaw with a # of things that is not giving it the quality to get accepted., usually with something that is easily fixable in PS. As usual here people have bought into the conspiracy theory about the screening of anet. Now you can either sit here and give up or you can take the steps to find out why the shot was rejected and fix it and get it uploaded.

T-Bird76
2007-08-21, 06:09 PM
Nick you just contradicted what the common shot means... By all means it means its a common shot to the database and unless there is something special about it, its going to be rejected. As I stated Bill's shot is far from common. First off there's not to many pics of it from the U.S and its from EWR tower. So how anyone says that his shot is common dosn't know what they are talking about.

By all means it means its a common shot to the database and unless there is something special about it, its going to be rejected.

Actually, I don't think that's what the Common rejection means, at least at a.net. It doesn't need to be "special" so much as the quality just needs to really be up there. Indeed, plenty of "common" planes are featured in the newest pictures in the database on a daily basis -- the quality just happens to be really good in the particular pictures. Nick's explanation of the Common rejection is correct:


They are saying that with 200 pics of an aircraft in the DB the standards are much higher. Now, with this said your shot can have a minor flaw with a # of things that is not giving it the quality to get accepted., usually with something that is easily fixable in PS.

On this shot, I can see how it would have been rejected for oversharpened. Since the Common rejection is only used in combination with other rejection reasons, the screener here was telling Bill that this shot can be accepted if re-edited and less sharpening is used. Pretty straightforward.


As I stated Bill's shot is far from common. First off there's not to many pics of it from the U.S and its from EWR tower. So how anyone says that his shot is common dosn't know what they are talking about.

A.net is a global database, and its definition of "common" does not depend on where a particular plane was photographed, but instead is simply based on the number of pictures featuring the particular registration. I'm sure that JP adopts a different view towards that rule, but that doesn't make it "right" or "wrong". There is logic to the a.net approach, although I agree with you that this particular picture is not "common" in the literal sense. That being said, regardless of whether the plane is "common" in the database, the standards for acceptance (i.e., oversharpened pictures will be rejected) are not lowered simply because a plane was photographed in a new location for the first time.

Nick, if you want, I'll email you what my travels down those avenues were like. Seriously,I would like to continue this offsite. My only gripe is this: Anet, in the act of applying stringent standards to an art like photography, makes up 'benchmarks' based on some sort of logic.

In a recent recjection of bad double, I saw someone else's shot of the same 'double' nature accepted. So when I inquired, shown them the photos accepted and showed them mine, well, let's say their logic was nil and the final answer I got was silence.

To me, when you are discussing something and you don't have an answer, that's just wrong and doesn't help create clear lines of communication or understanding.

Just recently,. someone asked in an av photo thread in Anet about clarification and what did you post?
