The screeners' selection of the week...
Congratulation to all the photographers !
See you next week.
Kind regards,
Remo G.
Happy new year and best wishes to all PictAero's members, visitors, fans ... This new year will see new events in the sky and you'll be able to follow them thanks to the pictures on PictAero. We do hope 2010 will provide you (and your camera) with your best aircraft pictures; be sure that we are already looking forward to watching your new works.
Along with the New Year celebration, PictAero has also reached a new milestone in its life with its 50,000th picture. It was highly improbable to reach such a figure on this day but we - sorry, you - have managed to do it!!
Willem RAVENSBERGEN sent us this picture this morning, it was shot last june in the Netherlands and that is the 50,000th photo on Pictaero.
Here we are ... 20,000 photos on the website ...
It took us 10 months to reach 10,000 pictures ... and only 5 moonths to have another 10,000!
Well done to you all; first for your faithfulness, and we hope that Pictaero.com reaches your expectations; then, for your photos, because what is at the core of Pictaero.com is picture sharing; finally, for your comments, since they are a great reward for us!
You must know that we are a team composed of aviation fans and we spend most of our free time dealing with Pictaero.com; So, seeing more and more members seing more and more pictures really touches us. We feel that what we are doing is at least quite useful!
Now, we will expect the 50,000th photo before we can congratulate ourselves!
We will do as much as we can to improve Pictaero.com from what you tell us.
Oh, I have nearly forgotten about the 20,000th picture which was accepted...
It is an Air Berlin 757-200, taken at Zurich airport. The photographer is Pascal S.
For this occasion, we have decided to launch our own "Pictaero shop (only in French for the moment) ... You can find T-shirts, caps or stickers ...
For the photographer who was lucky enough to have the 20,000th picture online, we are offering him either a T-shirt or a cap. We do hope he can send a photo of him wearing it!
Many thanks to you all.
To go to the shop, click here or click on the link on the right-hand side of the page.
Within the week, we reached a major milestone when accepting the 10,000th picture on Pictaero!
To make a long story short, I would like to thank all our members for giving life to such a project; Many pictures, many comments, a great sharing experience!
I just want to show you the 10,000th picture that is now online ... Congratulations to David DAGOURET!
Many more members every week, many more pictures ... could we get the 20,000th by September?
Last week, we were informing you of a server maintenance for June 1st.
Everything went fine. The maintenance had to be underdone until the afternoon, because Internet providers were long in updating the website's address.
We now have a more powerful structure that will allow us to welcome more members easily. Updates were done to make navigation faster and more comfortable for you.
Our photographs' treatment engine was updated. it is now more sensitive to high quality pictures. However, for lower quality photographs, the result may not be as good as it used to be.
Don't worry, each picture goes through validating procedures and our screeners will give you advice if needed.
Once more, on behalf of all Pictaero's team, I would like to thank you all for your faithfulness.
As It was explained in a previous article on May 18th, we must perform a second technical maintenance on our web infrastructure.
Therefore, Pictaero will be inaccessible for most of Sunday morning; that is to say Sunday June 1st (CET - GMT+1).
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you in advance for your understanding.
This morning, between 9am and 11am, we had to perform a heavy network maintenance.
To be able to welcome many more users, and as fast as possible, we are trying to set up a new technical architecture within the coming weeks (the precise date will be given shortly).
So as to prepare the maintenance in the best conditions, we had to perform technical changes on certain sensitive points, such as picture management.
Unfortunately, an error was made during the maintenance. We had to suspend the picture upload temporarily until 11:30am CET (10:30am UTC).
We would like to apologize for that interruption. As you know, we are trying to do our best to restore the website's access, for you to enjoy great service amongst us.
You may encounter some error messages during the next 24 hours (especially while viewing photos), but do not pay attention to them. That is part of this morning's operation.
We will keep you informed when we plan on changing the technical structure in the coming weeks.
