Yep, same problem. There appears to be a malfunction.

Hats off to Airbus for a stunning achievement. From a purely aesthetic standpoint I still think the A330 is their most beautiful aircraft from the outside but these interior shots of the A380 are a really nice design. Can't wait to see what the freighter will look like inside.... probably less leath...
Jump to postThis thread makes for good reading indeed. In the future I doubt any of this talk of RAW vs JPG will matter much. For now however there are undeniable benefits to both formats as has been explained above. As to a request for 16bit Hi-res versions; sure you might be asked for such originals, but in m...
Jump to postI have shot in both JPG and RAW formats using the Fuji <acronym title="Sahara Airlines (India)">S2</acronym>. Although RAW does give you extra flexibility, produces better quality output and is preferable in my humble opinion, there are times when JPG is more practical and it is worth taking some im...

I also format following every data transfer from my Microdrive.

Very nice shot. I wouldn't give up trying shots like that, perhaps one will get through. I know we all appreciate the difficult job of screening, and the many hours they put into it, I guess this particular artistic shot just didn't catch the right eye or the quality just wasn't quite there. Thanks ...
Jump to postThe picture is amazing, and for that reason it draws plenty of attention. I have no doubt at all that your picture is real and on this site it is famous.

It certainly looks like it Ben. Despite the small size and lack of detail in the banner, the resemblance to yours is unmistakable.

The ramp tour is next Saturday (17th) unless I've got my dates messed up. The LA A340 is due in tomorrow yes?
I plan to be at the IHOP for the Miami Mafia breakfast tomorrow, see you there Ryan?

I'll be dropping bye a few times during the Fest. Hope to see you there.

I will be down there on Saturday, hope I can catch it. As Ryan said, thanks for the heads up.

badmotiv?? It looks good to me, but then again so did several other shots I've had rejected in the past 24hrs, (a new record for me) I am at a loss to explain the screening standards at the moment.
