    Thumbs up

    Looks like you are getting the hang of that camera pretty well. The camaro looks great...even for a catfish.

    Nice car.

    yea no problem just let me know when. Still trying to get used to this camera to many settings. the bx hooked me into buying a camera i told them if i signed up for a star car i'd buy a camera so no and they talked me into it by giving me coupons for 20 off my order and 10 percent off my first purchase so got a good deal on it

    Nice camera but its time to ditch the camaro. I see a Cobra in the near future for you. It will just make those pictures look that much better.

    Very cool pics! Arizona has some of the best sunsets.

    Check out the December issue of Popular Science on page 124. It has a really cool photography trick and list different software to use (from ok and free to killer and $650). Basically you are just shooting multiple images of a secne at different exposures and merging them together. Also, here is a link.

    Excellent shots. Great positioning of your car for the right lighting.

    Boy, the barracks sure look alot different then when I was stationed there. They look like dorms now.

    The D40 is my next camera. Did you manually set your camera for those shots or just us P?

    Do you work in any of the squadrons on the flightline. When I was at open house last spring most units had high quality tee shirts for sale with their 16 on that back. Are these still available, maybe online? Thanks
