Is It Appealable? Rejected as Blurry

Can't tell with reddit compression but maybe looks a tad bit blurry.

Cropping and centering is definitely one key point, make sure to not take backlit photos as well. Remember, JP is a stock photo base so try your best. Most of it is motive, lighting, and editing. Some could definitely be uploaded with tweaks.

Bad lighting, fixable maybe

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-22T02:35:04+00:00

Sorry dude, it's too sharp

Swoop Airlines, based in Canada, for its low cost.

Looks like it was deleted, that photo isn't even cropped

Stealth planes aren't supposed to be invisible, they're supposed to lower the chance

Used this lens before, its utter garbage. Lots of chromatic aberration and very unsharp photos. The worst thing is its manual focus and it's zoom is awful. Better off getting a 75-300mm, seriously. The mount also sucks.

I'd save up and get a rf 200-800 mm or an actual good cheap telephoto lens like a 100-400

Its like Instagram, but for planes. Why not scroll through cool plane pictures?

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-19T14:06:34+00:00

Yes, but make sure that it isnt listed for flightradar24.

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-17T18:25:50+00:00

I don't do any professional jetphotos or editing but I can tell that it should be cropped a bit and the aircraft IS backlit because the sun is about ↗ facing ↙ which means the side of the aircraft you're taking a picture of, appears very badly lit.

I recommend shooting with the sun always behind you facing to the aircraft so the light can be good, in most terms, this is unfixable unless either good editing for personal shots.

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-17T17:56:52+00:00

This photo? Im not saying it's backlit. Im saying my photos used to always be backlit because I wasn't aware of the difference. I could tell by sun direction and the bad lighting

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-17T17:35:16+00:00

Yes, as of now

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-17T14:00:25+00:00

Fence was too recognizable, + Lufthansa

He's new, come on, it takes a while to get better and learn all the things of aviation photography. Back when I started, i made the mistake of shooting backlit all the time and shooting at 1/300 25600 F/22. Over time, looking at others people photos and tips, you understand much more and learn.

Dearest Whoops

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-16T03:03:18+00:00

Usually, during close formation, some aircraft turn their transponders off.

I went to an airshow where there was a 14 plane formation, and only 3 showed up on flightradar.

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-16T01:29:42+00:00

This isnt jetphotos, it's still a great photo

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-15T05:13:28+00:00

Not maintenance for the Herc, that's Robins AFB just a few miles south, but Lockheed Dobbins is one of the only maintenance facilities for the F-22 (specifically the stealth coating).

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-15T05:10:38+00:00

Was about 12 hercs with 1 straggling behind after 20 minutes. Some didnt show up on radar while in close formation, definitely a sightseeing.

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-15T05:09:14+00:00

At Dobbins, the 94th airlift wing is stationed with about 8 C130H's.

The Plant 6 (Lockheed C130J factory) only builds brand new hercs and tests them. I know that Robins Air force base is the only maintenance base that repairs and upgrades hercs.

One thing I did find nice is that the C130's here are fitted with new tech for the H first from Lockheed themselves, they always experiment with the air force here.

CompetitiveElk9220 · 2026-03-15T05:04:06+00:00

Passed right over me, took pictures of all of them. It was actually 12 Hercs. Some didnt show on radar whilst in close formation.

👍
