A fine shot DJ, worthy of the title IMO, I am by far no expert on aviation photography, but i know what pleases my untrained eyes!! it is well cropped, sharp with good detail for a night shot,nowt up with that as i see it (as a viewer) i just really can’t get what is so worthy of a shot that is frankly of very poor quality,with no content in sharp focus, and suffers extreme camera shake (fair ’nuff for a landing shot from the flightdeck) by a photographer whose other stuff is of a far far higher standard!
I’m sure thousands of photographers, still scratching their heads over why their hi quality shots get rejected, log in to JP front page, see this and feel slapped in the face! It does,IMO, a bit of damage to JP to have the “shot of the week” such a poor shot, Perhaps A-Net’s absurdly OTT and ludicrous screening process (to those not bezzy pals with the screeners)has a point after all??:confused:

Jim a singer ???? NAW !!!!:D

Well… at least tyhats what he said he was when he auditioned hehe:eek:

Yeah,Jason. I agree, i also have had shots rejected that are of good/fair quality, some stuff from my recent Asia trip that are’nt in the JP database at all (even a first shot of type!!)all of at least decent quality (or at least as good as the one’s i have accepted). I was thinking there must be some sort of “artistic” merit to this shot,maybe??, that is whooshing over my head,that qualifies it as shot of the week.

Cheers Josh.. you too
Heslop.. they don’t!! AFAIK the Lufty A310’s were withdrawn around 2004. The one in the shot is an A300B4.
