Rejected photos please help.

[Greg]

That's always a bad thing.

[MikeNE3]

OK..OK..OK

OK it's just me then, I'm obviously starting to get paranoid. Probably has something to do with these infernal, interminable night shifts I'm on, stuck in a lab with only analysers and sick people's blood samples.

I'm probably losing my mind

What I was talking to Mikecweb who had mentioned earlier that he was bored. Notice how I called him Mike and then I said "MikeNE3" afterward.

[mikecweb]

I ment with rocks. Hell for all we know he might me stoned(high) tomorrow too!!

[LH764]

Don't worry I assure you he will be stoned and beaten tomorrow.

stoned? as in high? or getting rocks thrown at him?

[mikecweb]

Didn't even think that you would have taken Greg's comment against you.

I still don't see where people laughed at you....

Answers

There were indeed some answers to the question I asked and I don't mind people having a laugh. The only difference is when people have a laugh at the expense of someone who is making a genuine request, this is a trait which is off-putting and would probably discourage newbies from posting once they have read previous threads.

Re: I obviously got the wrong idea

I'm really sorry, I obviously got the wrong idea about this forum. I was under the impression that it was for the benefit of understanding how to improve your photos, not a means for people to rudely label you as bored and generally have a go at an individual.

I think Greg was referring to the other Mike for figuring out how to view your rejected photos, and even then it was only a joke. And I think you did receive help, especially from Gerardo, so how can you say no one tried to help you improve your photos?

In response to the points raised:
The shot along the body of Concorde was due to the fact that the gate at JFK didn't fit properly and I thought it made a slightly unusual view of the plane.

We realize that, and like everyone said "It's a great snapshot, but not the kind of photo for this site".

The 1M photo was not taken with the intention of uploading as at the time of taking the photo I was too busy enjoying Concorde to think about much else, it was only later that I thought I'd try and share the view with other people.

Well, if you didn't intend on uploading it in first place then why are you complaining?

The shots which were duplicated were accidental as only one was supposed to be uploaded, however due to the length of the logical address on my PC I didn't realise the duplication (that and the fact I uploaded the shots after 3 12hr night shifts and very little sleep).

That is ok, we all make mistakes.

As for the shots of G-BOAF at the gate at EGLL, there are numerous photos of less striking aircraft in almost identical photos littering the database, so I thought that was what people wanted to see.

No one said you can't take pics from the gate and upload it here. It's just sometimes the glass is tinted, and usually the aircraft is partially obstructed by the jetway or loading vehicles. If it isn't the case, then gate photos have the same chance of getting accepted as other photos.

Hope this helps, no one is trying to "have a go" at you.

If you think everyone is going to be dead set serious on this forum then yes you are wrong. Since you mentioned a comment made to me, I know Greg was joking. This is what we do. People joke around and help each other. A forum shouldn't be all business it should also have some fun in it too. Are we quilty alot of the time of getting off topic..yeah but thats just the way it is, don' take it personally. I believe some people gave you answers to your questions though.

nice snapshot, but not an aviation photography. 25% of the picture is filled with a gateway, bad angle

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject.php?id=46912
simply bad quality: grainy, nothing clearly visible

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject.php?id=46905
unlevel, lots of foreground clutter, concorde only fills about 25% of the frame and parts of the main subject are hidden

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject.php?id=46901
~20% of the picture is filled with a black wall, unlevel, lots of foreground clutter, concorde only fills about 25% of the frame and parts of the main subject are hidden

http://www.jetphotos.net/viewreject.php?id=46899
double upload

BAD MOTIVE = "What were you thinking when you took this shot?"

...hope that helps.....

I was already mentally preparing for an answer to this question, but your answer is a real killer.

Thanks, Jeff!!

BTW, nice avatar



Cheers
Gerardo

A 1MP PDA should not be used for any photography intended to be uploaded here...
