Globemaster

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Shot over Neutral Bay today - the brand new Globemaster still in USAF config. It was being chased by a plane photographing it over the city.

Not a great photo as it was taken through Alien Skin Blowup and then Noise Ninja.

Interesting looking plane Chris. What kind of purpose is it designed for? (With the name being globe master, I'm guessing it's for long flights?)

Strategic airlift for troops and cargo - smaller than a C5 Galaxy and larger than a C141 Starlifter - its able to operate from short or poor condition runways

Well caught Chris, I thought you had been to Avalon.

Thanks Norbert, and welcome to the forum

Thanks Glen

Re the C17, you'll probably see more of them, as they are based out of Richmond RAAF base. The one captured looks like the first one that was delivered - as shown here: http://www.aviationnews.com.au/News_Sto ... 72-C17.htm
For those accustomed to the size of the Hercules operating out of Richmond, these have 4x the carrying capacity.

Actually it is a USAF bird, not intending to be one of ours (its based at Hickham, Hawaii). Was at Avalon for the airshow last weekend. As for where you captured it, I was told the yanks wanted to go for a scenic flight over Sydney, something yank aircrews do often

Be careful Chris, you'll have someone knocking at your door soon asking your intentions photographing an American Air Force plane...

It made a few passes with the chase plane and then it was replaced by a Hercules being chased too - maybe some form of airforce PR work 8)
