Ahoy there guys,
I lost an appeal for a rather unusual "similar photo" rejection recently, of a rather rare subject, one of the last 2 Air New Zealand 747s which went on flying through 2014 from AKL-SFO only AND the flight was a redeye and almost never left SFO in daylight.
I was told that the photo above, taken on 20MAR14 in the early afternoon light is too similar to this photo of the same aircraft, taken many months earlier on 13DEC13 at golden hour in the late evening of another very rare ANZ SFO daylight departure: https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/7770789
Yes, these were both taken from the same location, a control tower from which this site and every other gets very few uploads and people love to see photos from, and it's of a rare subject at the end of it's life. Why is this too similar? They only had 2 planes the last many months of service in the 747 fleet, does that mean we should be so picky about documenting this kiwi queen?
Seems...bizarre, and seeing as my user ID is 170 on this site and I've only even appealed photos a few times, I think it has to seem like a pretty silly rejection for me to come back to these forums after years of inactivity and post this to see what the community thinks LOL. Sheesh, do you guys like 747s or not?
