Why do you keep taking shots at Peter Ehrlich?

The photo looks a little overexposed on the left, which may be why it was rejected.

Dude, just give it the fuck up. If you want Railpictures.net to accept your photos go out to Cajon and shoot some roster shots, that's all they're interested in. They say it right there on the email, " Bad Motive: This rejection reason means that the photo is of low esthetic qualities, or is simply not the type of material we are wishing to publish..". They're not rejecting your photo for any reason other than that they don't enjoy electrically powered transit in ways most of the folks on this board would. There's nothing wrong with your photo, their cup of tea just happens to be identical shots of diesel powered freight trains and they're quite unwilling to compromise on that point. Instead of trying to get your photo into there, send it to Trevor at Transitalk or Dave at NYCsubway.org.

Besides, why would you want your pictures on a popup-laden site anyway? You recieve none of the ad revenue which they're getting off your picture.

That said a few Subchatters have gotten photos of electric transit accepted by the Railpictures.net screeners. RPansePCC and R7 Torresdale Express in particular have had success getting transit related photos through to the board. If you want, keep appealing and hope that your photo gets on there. I don't see what the big deal is, since their site sucks anyway. Just please stop bitching, you're not the only photographer on the west coast, nor are you the best, and it's really annoying to have to listen to you gripe and moan every time Railpictures.net rejects you.

Sallam,

If you are looking for constructive comments:

1. Faster shutter might allow you to see the destination sign.
2. Clearly that station wasn't the best place to shoot a 1/3 angle shot, since you can't see the side of the train very well.
3. As people have already said, you can't see the undercarriage and that is important.
4. Lacking in aesthethic quality is a fair comment: it's an equipment shot and doesn't show anything else (people, station signs, trees with foilage, other elements that make it more than just a picture of a train.) You should try to focus not just on the train but also what else is around it. Example:



Notice how this picture shows the bus in its natural environment, along with trees, and the USDOT building behind it. If I could improve on this photo I would have said: would have been nice if the back of the bus wasn't cut off. But it didn't matter, since the rest of the scene more than compensates for the cut off back of the bus.

Are you really that fucking stupid? Why do you insist upon pursuing your anti-Peter Erlich bent? What has he done to you that you feel the need to slight him at every oppertunity? He's stated many times that he does not feel the need to compete with you, so I have to wonder how it feels to be competing against nobody.

Say it with me: Photography is not a competition. Celebrate all the photos taken by everyone. Sure some will be better than others, but the rubric by which one person may decide a given photograph is better than another is so subjective that a contest based upon photography is next to pointless.

In all seriousness I don't think they want nothing but roster shots of freight engines, but they definitely have a bias towards Class I railroads and a further lean towards freight ops. They also seem to have a thing for historical stuff, although that might vary from screener to screener (I don't even know how many they have).

Interestingly enough, I got what one would probably call a roster shot of a subway train accepted. I mean, you can't really see much else besides the one car and a bit of trackage in the foreground. Maybe one of the screeners does like passenger rail or MUs, I dunno.

No, bad motive means the screener basically didn't like the shot...well that's a bit of an oversimplification, but it basically boils down to that. They would've put "Overexposed" as the reason for rejection if that was the case. Salaam should appeal and hope he gets a more passenger-rail friendly screener. In his appeal he should mention the fact that grain and blur are minimal and the train is pretty well-lit...although another screener may yet reject it again for the reason you stated (a little too bright on the left side of the shot).

The idea is to know enough about your camera to step the exposure or ISO levels down such that you're not shooting at a level which would induce graininess. If this requires going to an ISO of 50, 100, or 200 while accepting a longer exposure then such is life.

BTW, do or have you ever use(d) any DSLRs?

edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr
I'm right.

Grainyness results from a feature of the chemical emulsion used in manufacturing film. This feature doesn't occur with charged coupled devices. The feature you see with digital cameras is one of random noise from the signal processing circuity, and shows up as green-and-pink (or some other color) discolorations in the image. The net result is a little different and it isn't called "grainyness".

edf40wrjww2msgDetail:detailStr
You're wrong in saying that we are wrong. Digital cameras emulate film cameras. As such, when you increase the ISO on a digital camera, no matter what actually happens inside the camera, the final image produced by the camera has an increase in what is called graininess by digital photographers. And yes, it is also called noise.

OK, sorry. You (plural) are spewing the bullshit that digital camera manufacturers come up with to try to make their cameras more marketable to people who are used to film terminologys. And I'm wrong in that I don't believe in that bullcrap and choose to understand digital technology as it is rather than its emulation of the film technology that came before.

As such, when you increase the ISO on a digital camera,

There is no such thing as an ISO rating for a digital camera. Yes, most digital cameras allow you adjust that setting, but as you said, it's really just an emulation, and it's a way to calibrate the color curves and shutter times used internally by the digital camera to calculate your final picture.

the final image produced by the camera has an increase in what is called graininess by digital photographers. And yes, it is also called noise.

Oh, I see. So even though the "noise" in the photo arises from a completely different mechanism, it's still called "grainyness". I will adopt this terminology in future even though I know that it's wrong. Now we speak the same language. :)

I proclaim myself the new West Coast transit photography king, just to piss you off, bitch.





Seriously, who gives a fuck anyway? It's not like anybody outside this hobby even looks at these photos. You have your own website, post them there all you want and be happy with that (especially that you're fortunate enough to even have your own site).

RPansePCC and R7 Torresdale Express in particular have had success getting transit related photos through to the board.

Count me in, too.

It's the only photo accepted thus far, but at least it's proof proff that even I made it through.

How come Railpictures is the sole site with all these "rejections"? Let 'em become a pay site then.
