  • Airliners.net vs. Jetphotos.net

    Why is there a fee for Airliners.net when it is essentially the same as Jetphotos.net?

  • #2
    On Airliners.net everything else is free. Free grog, full service food, and free IFE (very pretty hosties too). I've found I've had to pay for food here and the beef was tough.

      JP is Ryanair of the photography world, cheap cheerful and beloved by those who follow the system properly.

      ANET is the British Airways of photography, expensive, disliked shit basically.

          Let's not get too into slagging other sites off. Everyone uploads to different sites for different reasons and it's their choice to show their work wherever they like. It doesn't matter one iota if you think they're shit, there are plenty of people who disagree.

          I have to say though, saying JP is the Ryanair of the aviation photography world could be taken as extremely insulting by some.

              Very lenient today, are we ? Anyway, if we let it stay, the OTF sounds like a more appropriate place. Could at least provide us with some entertainment before all hell breaks lose...

                They have an interesting Home Page today which is causing a few complaints.

                    Paul,
                    I agree completely agree, for me JP is the way forward, I do respect other photographers who use whatever site.

                    Being called Ryanair could be considered an insult, but look at what Ryanair created from nothing, same story here 50 dedicated staff and the largest site in the world, it may not be to everyone's taste but it suits mine down to Kingdom come.

                      You're not a Ryanair fan are you? We'd never have known!

                          The saddest thing is....

                          I read all the above....

                          ....and then went to Anet to see what all the fuss is about

                          Mind you, perfect homepage for most Anet users. I can just see it now.....

                          ( visualise someone leaning forward into their monitor, staring intently, knuckles going white on the mouse, tongue slightly stuck out. Got the image ? right, I'll continue )

                          Theyre thinking "right then, lets go to the forums".....

                          Click.

                          "Sod it, missed......Honda ??"

                          "OK then, I'll search for a picture"

                          Click.

                          "Sod it, missed......Honda ??"

                          etc. etc. etc.

                          If it 'ain't broken........ Don't try to mend it !

                              Today's fiasco at a.net has been the best advertising for jp.net I've ever seen. While its going to be difficult, Im going to be looking long at hard towards making the switch.
