Rejection help - Vignetting

[Aerowibit]

Hello all, two weeks ago I went spotting in Frankfurt and I had started to upload some of my photos already. 4 of them got screened yesterday and 3 got rejected all due to the same reason „Vignetting not allowed“. (The one that is accepted is the Emirates). I do not understand this at all, as previously I had appealed some photos that only had been rejected due to Vignetting issues and those appeals had been accepted. In my opinion all of these photos are in perfect quality, and lighting and the aircrafts are clearly seen, therefore I do not feel like those rejections are justified. (The Latam is in the night shots category). I have looked at older forums, where they say to get a newer lens etc, but I have the Canon Eos R, with the Canon L-series 100-500mm. Thank you and hopefully this will be resolved!

Not a screener, but if you use the 'Check for Dust' tool when you look at a rejection link or a link of a photo already in the queue you can CLEARLY see that corners of these photos are darker than the rest of the photo as you can see. These rejections would be justified based on what I see.




Some suggestions would be using F/8 or F/9. I've noticed when using one or either of these aperture numbers I get less darkening of the edges. Also when taking photos I try not to have the aircraft full the whole frame so that when I crop/center the aircraft, I have a little room to work with and can eliminate any vignette that may be visible

Hi,
Definitely an aperture issue. The three rejected shots for vignetting I just checked were all shot at 5 or 5.6
Not only does it create vignetting but you also see a bit of overall softness due to your settings. Try to stay at F.8 on such sunny conditions and those issues will be history

Regards

Hi, many thanks for your detailed response, it is much appreciated. Would there be any way that I can „fix“ this with lightroom classic? Or would all my shots from that day be pretty much useless for Jetphotos?

Thanks again,

Alexander

To be honest, it would take quite a lot in Lightroom to negate the vignette in these photos, not saying it is impossible but it would be highly unlikely that any vignette edits/counteractions can produce an acceptable photo on the jet photos database. As stated by Alex, in the future using aperture f/8 will help immensely in making sure that you will have much less vignette or no vignette in your future photos
Never hesitate to ask on the forum for tips and tricks, I am sure there are already some threads on here that will help you to figure out what will work best for you, your equipment, and ultimately jet photos.

Hope this helps and happy spotting

It takes a lot of effort, like Alex said it is Aperture issue that you use F5 F5.6 I also use F8 or F9 for sunny conditions. Did you use the same setting for the day? If yes, sad for you..

Yeah, nevertheless I will give it a try again with lightroom, and then I will see how it goes - still many thanks and I will check out those other threads!

Have a great rest of your day, Alexander

Im definitely willing to give it a try, but in future I will just switch to F8 or F9, many thanks again!
