Great shots! By any chance could you send me the C-5 shots in high resolution? Galaxy5007@yahoo.com Thanks for sharing!

Great shots!

May I suggest a new pair of glasses? These are not great shots. They are mostly out of focus and poorly lit. They may give an informative view on local activity, but a log would be more appropriate for that.

In my opinion these are way too many pictures with bad quality.

Advice for the photographer: Have a look at other topics for what a good picture looks like. Be selective, only post the best and start by skipping the ones taken through fences.

Still just my opinion.

Pictures can also give a good impression of how a base looks like from the outside and/or what's going on. I would say keep 'm comming!

Backlight is a problem no lenses

My comment may not have been very nice, but that's just a flaw in my personality. At least I told him WHY I didn't like his pictures.

May I suggest to move the last part of this conversation to the Tattle Lounge (may even be joined with a discussion from a few weeks ago, about posting poor quality pics on the forum).

Marcel is definitely not always negative on photos, and in my opinion he is simply right here.
We are being presented a selection of small, underexposed, often very similar and sometimes unsharp photos, even including interfering mesh fences. Those are by no definition 'great pictures'.
Some do have great potential, though.

What they do give us, is an impression of Moron action: very interesting planes, but apparently hard to catch on photo. I fully agree that in this case a log is far more appropriate, and one or two photos could illustrate the challenges of Moron photography. For a related discussion, look here.

The photos in this topic will stay to illustrate the discussion, but on similar occasions we probably will leave only a selection of such a post.
Finally, let me state again that criticizing photos is ideally an objective process. The poster of the photos has the option to learn from the critics, all of this with the aim to get better.

Thank you Rutger, Erik and Marcel too for your coments, Marcel not pretend to be a professional photograph , only I want show you the airplanes if you can see in the AFB´S in Spain for your comments don´t worry I don´t earn money with my photos not is my job.

Thank for yours and regards.

Thanks, JJ. For the end result, it would already make a huge difference if you used something like a +1 exposure setting on your camera with backlight like that, and did some cropping where the airplane is rather small on the photo.
I think we all agree the subjects of your photos are very interesting.

the pictures might be poor compared to the results of others in the aviation hobby scene, but as Moron is an airbase I have scarcely seen covered in most forums, I would appriciate keeping these photos and continuing with more. The photos provide quite a nice impression of what is going on there and how other spotters might get good photo access to this base, maybe with even more impressive results.
So I would enourage JJ37 to continue.

One question to JJ37: no problems with police/security forces around Moron airbase?
