Hello Colleagues.
I would be grateful for further clarification regarding the category 'Night Shot', as this is something that has caused me to receive a few rejections of late. It could simply be that, at my age, I am now a slow learner, but I would be interested to hear the views of others.
I had a couple of photos rejected this week, in part because I had failed to tick the 'Night Shot' category. These photos were taken at about 10am on a mid February morning, so something around 3 hours after sunrise. Rejections in the past for the same reason had shown me that I needed to remember that the category 'Night shot' was not, in fact, what it said on the tin (i.e taken during the night time, or at least once the sun had gone below the horizon), but included where there were long shadows in the image, created by a low sun. I found this very counter-intuitive, but that was the rule. Evidently I have now been remiss in determining what count as 'long shadows'. The latest rejection was in bright sunlight and there are no 'long shadows' that I can see.
Maybe Brexit is increasing my irritation levels (and, if so, I apologise) but if the site insists on the need to categorise such shots differently, do others agree with me that calling the category 'night', yet requiring that category checked for photos in bright sunlight, taken hours after sunrise, could be seen as rather misleading for unloaders.
Thanks.
