ATTN ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS: PLEASE - NO CLOUDY or BACKLIT SHOTS!

[Henry Tenby]

Some members have recently uploaded many shots that were taken under cloudy and dark conditions or shots that have the aircraft in backlit conditions.

As a very pleasant reminder, I once again kindly ask that photographers not upload images of currect day aircraft shot under cloudy and dull weather conditions, or shot under backlit conditions as they will not be accepted to the database.

Only if an aircraft is very rare will it be approved to the database if shot under less than optimal conditions. Or, if the image was taken in the 1950s or 1960s under less than ideal conditions then it will likely be accepted.

Current day aircraft (1990s to date) generally speaking must be shot under ideal conditions in order to be approved into our database.

Thank you for your understanding in this regard.
