Ahhh, good to see a fellow JetPhotos.Net user - the better alternative to Airliners!

www.airlinepics.com is where some of us can be found too.

Never heard of it??
Is it as good as Airliners.net????

Never heard of which? JetPhotos? It's better - you don't have to pay to use it for a start, and you also don't need thousands of pounds of photo equipment to get your photos accepted.

That's what's good about airlinepics.com, they accept stuff from enthusiastic amateurs and not just pro level photographers. It's quite a new site BTW, just over 3000 pics so far.

Neither do you have to wait for weeks. Normally I get my shots uploaded in barely 3 days. Haven't had a lot of rejections yet, which is quite different at a.net where they managed to refuse all but 2 of my shots!

You only need to pay up at airliners.net if you want to use the forum and expensive photo equipment is not going to get your pics accepted anywhere if you don't know the basics of photography, much as wordprocessing software will not write a bestseller without input from your side (Shakespeare used a quill I believe...).
In any case, those who have been put off by airliners.net are advised to try again; seems to me that standards have been lowered significantly recently.

Yes, I know that - but there does seem to be a rediculously high standard there which can't be met easily by those using equipment such as mine - at JetPhotos I'm welcomed into the forum free of charge, I have almost 300 photos accepted, and I don't have to pay for priviledges - all of us are treated equally, whether we are professionals or people sending in the first photo we've ever taken.
I've got a couple on Airliners.Net, but to be honest, I'd rather spend the time uploading to JetPhotos where I will get more accepted and where they will be appreciated.

They have? Well, I'll give it another try then. You'll here 3 weeks from now if I have been succesful! Or have they improved on the queue as well? Last time I tried uploading something (+/- 2 months ago) it took 4 weeks for them to refuse the pic. I appealed and am still waiting for an reaction! I given up hope for that pic... :rolleyes:

@strikeeagle: I agree with your last statement completely, and at one point I found that the very quality requirements resulted in fewer imaginative and dramatic pics there. What camera equiment are you using, incidentally? What I would critizise at airliners.net is the odd system of queuing photographers, rather than individual pictures as they are uploaded. Some people seem to have developed a knack of reserving a permanent top position in the queue.
@futurepilot: If your praise was also directed at me, then thank you very much!

I'm using an Olympus C-2100 UZ, with 10x optical zoom equivalent to 380mm.

Which is where JetPhotos.Net comes in - they don't aim to go for standards like Airliners, so people with imagination, but without the same level of expertise can join in. There are standards, and they won't accept riff raff, but it's a much better than airlienrs, and you get very quick responses to appeals, corrections and uploads etc.
Alot of the Airliners best photographers have come over to JetPhotos and pulled their photos from Airliners (Glenn Alderton to name but one) because they don't like the way the other site works.
Mind you - I don't know al the details, I refrain from joining these discussions on their board as I don't know enough - I just know that I prefer JetPhotos.
Off out to NOMAD at Waddington now anyway.... :)

I must admit I judged A.net harshly. :o
They must have lowered standards (a lot) since they accepted some of my pics! :eek:
What I find even more surprising is the speed it took them. Uploaded yesterday (after Kenneth adviced to do so) and they are already uploaded! Last time they refused something it took about 2 weeks, and the last thing they accepted took even longer! :eek:

Don't like the way Jet photos works either

me neither
You click on a thumbnail for a picture and 10 or so windows pop up... all ads.
And then the photo begins to load. But you get this annoying little add that drifts in from the left and covers the photo... close it before the photo is finished loading and it stops loading the entire page alltogether... leading you to hit refresh... which brings up another 5 or 6 ads.
Grrrrr

I agree with future pilot, the photos are all fantastic quality.

I'll have to give them a shot. I've uploaded a number of my pictures at a.net with no luck.
