Post Your Recent REJECTIONS!

[gonzalu]

Here is the edit I showed you a few days ago and compared to yours... It still shows the BRIGHTNESS of the conditions yet it has some details visible in the fuselage. It is a balancing act. But you seem to be trying to force a square peg into a round hole. You are NOT playing by YOUR rules... it is THEIR rules you play by... You never get an argument from Flickr or from Facebook... or your own website. IF you want to upload to the main two databases, you need to learn how to accept the fact that the way they want the pictures is just the way they should be. In this particular case, you have many people telling you it looks overexposed and indeed it is a bit... I also think the contrast is a bit much in your last version... in any case, my edit isn't far from yours so I do not believe it is a huge effort for you to accept it as it being a bit over.

My Edit a few days ago...

I'm sorry Manny, I thought I was taking your advice when dialed back the exposure but I guess I didn't do it enough. I will try again.

Horizon unlevel (leveled it on building on the right)
Obstructing objects (they said the AIRSTAIRS are an obstructing object? Come on now.)
Categories wrong/missing (biz-jet?)

Not happy with that reject.

Hey guys;

Got this one from the LA trip.


Yes, bits are cut off, but I have the most important parts :)

Any suggestions on a better crop?

Unfortunately any air stairs blocking the aircraft will get that rejection. Sucks but it is what it is.

Some A.net rejections
Rejected: Grainy

Rejected: Blurry


Any feedback?

[wunaladreamin]

Grainy you can fix by changing the way you sharpen and by monitoring your ISO. Keep the iso in good light at no higher than 200. When you're sharpening, select the sky, inverse, expand by 1 pixel, then sharpen. That will cut down on grain especially in the blue channel which is by nature the most noise susceptible.

Blurry is unfixable.

[deltaA330]

That's what I do. I shot that picture at ISO 100 and sharpened as you said, it's what I always do. Honestly I don't see anything wrong with either shot by oh well...

[wunaladreamin]

It's a.hole...I mean a.net. If its not perfection then it won't get in. I can clearly see the blur in the second shot on my iPad. Try selecting the sky, contracting by 1 pixel and add some Gaussian blur for the noise.

You know there's something wrong when you're shooting at base ISO and it is still 'grainy'. That's ridiculous. Those shots look fine to me, but I'm not a screener. If you're already selectively sharpening, I wouldn't drive myself excessively nuts to please those maniacs. Hell, they can't even decide what constitutes too much 'yellow tint'

flickr ftw

Did somebody say my name?

No Cary...just relax and go back to Trenton ;)

[Jared Blech]

Here is mine, i can clearly see the wingtip is pretty messed up, does anybody have any advice to fix this. Also, anybody have any advice, tips, methods, etc. to help me? I also realize i should probably shoot with aperture 8-11 on Canon 100-400, the shutter speed was 1/800, which was probably too slow. In good daylight, at which shutter speed and aperture can i get the sharpest and best image for A.net. I am open to any advise given to me... and especially yours manny... haha

EXPOSURE REJECTION.

If someone would kindly show me what my image should look like...not necessary, but greatly appreciated. :)

I also realize i should probably shoot with aperture 8-11 on Canon 100-400, the shutter speed was 1/800, which was probably too slow.

I usually shoot in Av at f/7.1 with the 100-400, ISO 100, shutter speeds end up around 1/400 - 1/640 depending light, which is plenty.

[Jared Blech]

Hey moose. I still feel like my images come out unsharp, iso at 100 and everything, i feel like they are a little grainy too... Do you think this is because of my Av at 5.6, ive read many many times that you get a sharper image with 8-11. I am currently shooting with a 7D.
Thanks.
