Airbus A319 (N332NV)

Why Chris? I don't get it. As somebody that takes LOTS of aviation photos I don't understand the reasoning to post these blurry and basically useless photos on FA. You are literally clogging up the photo section with this dreck.

For example, look at N332NV you have posted here. There are 16 photos total on FA and 14 of them are equally uninteresting photos posted by you. If you were posting 1-2 of each plane I would not have as much of an issue as you are tagging new planes you have spotted. Cool. N121UW has only 14 photos and 7 are similarly photographed by you. You should continue to post photos of new and interesting aircraft that you spot. But blurry shots from miles away of a shadow are not what FlightAware photos needs and have no redeeming value. In fact, I submit that these photos bring down the FA experience for everybody else as we have to sift through the massive amount of refuse you create in the photo section. Of your 21000+ photos I would say no more than 100 are at the level that should be posted.
Just my opinion, but I believe that FA moderators should step in and purge these photos from the system.

@ Mr Pippen - unfortunately Mr Collinsworth does not care a hoot about what other FA users think of his "pictures". A number of users have in the past posted similar thoughts to yours, myself included, but the upload of these kinds of photos continues unabated, by the thousands. If you view his album sorted by "newest", you might find 1 (yes, ONE) semi-suitable photo uploaded in the last month, among the thousands of others. I agree wholeheartedly that the FA moderators should step in.

@Viv thanks. I am not trying to attack Chris personally as he does have a few that are good. Again I don't have a problem with him tagging each plane once or twice, especially if he has a better shot than his original. But the excessive spamming of the photo section with literally thousands of blurry photos from miles away has no redeeming value to this community and if anything I feel his spamming clogs up the photo section with repetitive photos.

I think I will start a discussion in the message board section about it Viv. Maybe that way we can get the attention of the FA staff and ask them to weigh in. Please feel free to chime in as well.

Chris. Thanks for your constructive criticism. I'll start paying for attention to what I post. I know my pictures are the best. But it is not a picture contest. I don't live in an area with a major airport around me with in 100 miles and love taking pictures. So I'm stuck to high altitude pics. FA rules don't say only take one or two pictures of each plane. I always follow FA rules. I have a lot of folks on here that like what I do and have been on here 5, 10 years. I cant please everyone but I can please a few. Thank you though.

@Chris, thanks for responding. I agree you are not violating any rules, but I do think your activity runs afoul of the expectation of good conduct on this site. Do you see my point? Look at N332NV here. We have 16 total photos, two by others and 14 by you. The photo tagged here is atrocious and barely recognizable. The color is so off that livery almost looks like the yellow and brown from UPS. Some of your contrail shots are interesting, but did we need seven from the same pass on 1/17/18? Rather than just uploading the totality of your photos be more selective. The ones that are blurry should be chucked immediately. Multiple ones in sequence should probably be paired down to the best one or two.

If you'd like, please feel free to join the discussion about it, I shared that here: https://discussions.flightaware.com/t/chris-collinsworth-photos-overrunning-photo-section/30651/6

Again I am not coming at this from a point of ill will towards you and I understand if you don't have access to an airport; I lived in a rural location until a few years ago and my nearest airport was a two hour drive each way that I could not justify. I am a bit frustrated but would like to help educate you on best practices for posting. Just because something is not breaking a rule doesn't mean its a great idea. While its not a picture contest, the intent of FA photos isn't to be a dump of every photo you've ever taken of an aircraft. I have well over 100,000 aircraft photos that I have taken in my catalog, but I have only shared 30 on here. If I dumped dozens/hundreds of the same aircraft I think you would see many more people upset than appreciative. If you scale back the quantity I think you will find that most people would be a lot happier and appreciate your best shots.
