This photo was rejected for overprocessing but because of how broad that is I am not sure what I did that was considered overprocessing could you please clear it up and say what make it over processed? Thanks

Don't see processing as an issue; more like dark/heat hazed.

How strict is rule 2.6 of the Upload Guidelines?

(Means that you have a similar photo already in the database. Please upload only your best photos, try to be creative. Similar refers to:
- a photo taken from the same sequence the same day e. landing, taxiing, ramp parking or take off
or
- same registration, similar angle or composition or same background taken on different dates.
- Close up views and full or partial views of an a/c taken at the same angle, are generally considered similar.

If a new upload is of a significantly better quality, we may consider accepting it.

We will only accept a certain number of cockpit or window shots taken in the same aircraft (normally no more than two).)


I have a couple photos of the same aircraft. One aircraft has a new livery (Iceland Air), the other is the same plane just a different scenario landing vs taxiing. Would these be rejected for Rule 2.6?

Neither would be considered similar.

How is the lighting for this photo/contrast mainly around the aircraft personally think that the color of the plane and sky are too close but I am not exactly sure what the best way to fix it?

Thanks,
Charlie

Contrast borderline but acceptable for me. Light editing halos also visible.

This photo was previously rejected or unlevel horizon. I attempted to correct it, is the fix adequate?

Horizon would be ok for me.

Thanks for the help

[Alex - Spot-This !]

To answer your snow question, it would have been a rejection as a moment later click would have avoided it.

Hope it helps

How are these fixes? What are the primary areas that you for a green/purple tint? Is it the whole photo? Is it possible to fix vignetting? If so, how would you do it? How is the color/contrast on the last 2?

1. right side soft/blurry. contrast still borderline at best. color ok.
2. still poor contrast.

Will not comment on those two again.

3-4. dirty, borderline harsh contrast

[CharlieTripp]

1. color is worse, needs less green, not more. Also too soft for the size.
2. very poor (weak) contrast.

What do you mean by quality are there specific things you look for? What are they? What, tells the photo has a green tint, how can you tell the tint adjustment is adequate? How well did I fix the tint/contrast? The big thing to avoid backlit photos is to always be able see that you are on the lit side of the aircraft, correct? You want to see a little shadow from the wing on the fuselage? Does the second count as backlit? if it is backlit, the lit up side is facing the camera and the wing casts a shadow on the fuselage just like the first photo what makes one backlit and the other not? Also how is the heat haze/contrast?

Thanks!

Not at all, it depends entirely on whether the side of the aircraft facing you is lit or not.



Barely noticeable, wouldn't be an issue for me.



The lower the resolution, the more flaws will be hidden - but some guys think they need to upload the max. possible, all the time.. Personally, I usually stick to 1600pix, unless the quality is slightly less than desirable, then I might go with 1280.



A bit dark/harsh contrast, and green tint.

Would you say that you are fairly safe if the sun is directly behind your back/camera +/- 15 degrees?

How is the first for heat haze?

Barely noticeable, wouldn't be an issue for me.

How do you figure out what is the max/bext resolution for a photo?

The lower the resolution, the more flaws will be hidden - but some guys think they need to upload the max. possible, all the time.. Personally, I usually stick to 1600pix, unless the quality is slightly less than desirable, then I might go with 1280.

How is the second photo for primarily contrast but really everything as that photo was taken on a different camera that I usually us?
