  • Got rejection for backlit on this
    JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online!


    I am a beginner and not sure about this, but i thought backlit is if the sun is behind the aircraft. In this case the sun was somewhere between pilots 1 and 2 o`clock.
    Can someone tell me, what backlit in this particular case means?

      Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this. I'm not an editing expert.

        Backlit is, when the visibe side of the aircraft is not illuminated by the sun or any other light source. Backlit isn´t fixable!
        Or here is what the Guideline says:
        5 Rejection reasons explained - Exposure

        5.1 Backlit

        As a general rule: Don't take pictures with the sun in your eyes, shooting against the sun puts the visible half of the aircraft in shadow which means we can't see it to its advantage. Backlit shots they will be rejected. As a rule of thumb: if the tail casts a shadow on the fuselage, the photo is most likely to be rejected for backlit.

        An exception to this is when the photographer is creating a sunset/sunrise type at which time the vivid colors and weak sunlight produce very pleasing results-properly executed dusk and dawn shots are always welcome but please don't flood us with such images because they are very difficult to get right.
        I hope that will help you in the future.
        Have a nice day and always happy spottings.

        • Hey Guys, i have a question as well.

          This is rejected due to too much or too little contrast.

          Is the 2nd Version acceptable now?

          Thanks in advance,

            Hi, it's better than the original but I think it could do with a little more boost with the contrast.

              Please show how to erase jaggies after sharpening, it's good to know!

                Look at the tail. It is completely in shadow = backlit.

                  I'd advise against anything that might result in a rejection (or worse) for manipulation.

                    I would strongly suggest, not to go that path to delete imperfections, which were added in previous post processing steps. Look for solutions to sharpen a photo without getting jaggies in the first place. There are several helpful tutorials around, also in this forum.

                        • Hi,

                          Need some help with these:

                          1. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5889565. I leveled the shot using verticals around the Hyatt signage on the roof. That's what I typically use for these angle compositions

                          2. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5893873. I wanted a nose close up composition. Should I crop more on the left to just the fuselage. My thinking was that it would cut the radar dish and unbalance the picture

                          3. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5893864. Are the chocks clutter? Honestly I could not help those from any angle. Composition is for tight nose close up similar to this another pic of mine https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/8591135.

                          4. https://www.jetphotos.com/viewqueued_b.php?id=5898361. Based on the discussion in the forum earlier, I was asked to use to vertical lines in the center (light poles in this case) to level the shot. Previously hangar line was used.

                          Thanks and regards,
                          Siddarth

                            Not really. I still see this a likely being a contrast rejection. Unless you have specific motivation for wanting this accepted, perhaps best to leave it for the personal collection.

                              1. Verticals are leaning right, needs CCW rotation.
                              2. Simply an awkward crop/composition.
                              3. Chocks are fine, so shouldn't have been a obstr./clutter rejection, but again awkward crop, especially with the door cut.
                              4. This is a very tricky one with conflicting verticals all over the place. Yes, verticals in the center are generally favored, but strong verticals (like buildings) are favored over less reliable ones like light posts. Overall, the ramp in the background does appear to slope right, so some CCW rotation is needed.
