Wicked! The pic of the 4 F-16's in formation under the dark cloud is awesome.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

Do you have any of these large enough for wallpapers? Three of them I would like to add to my wall paper shuffle.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

Amazing Work. A+
I have a CANON T1i but am not all that thrilled with the Stock Glass any suggestions?

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

Thanks!

What do you shoot mostly? Action? Portraits? Your dog? Children? Indoors? Outdoors?

Unfortunatly, whatever the answer, the price tag isn't going to be cheap.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

Well I try to shoot it all. From nature to weddings to whatever, Portraits are a must though. I currently have the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens and a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS Telephoto Zoom Lens and results are mixed.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

I'd recommend starting out with a 50mm 1.8 Prime to add to your collection.

Bout an 80-100$ lens that can take some amazing shots. It's called the nifty fifty :D


If you want to shoot weddings... and I mean REALLY shoot weddings... I'd say get a 5D Mk 1, an 85mm 1.8, 50mm f/1.4 , a 24-70 f/2.8 L, 17-40 f/4 L and a 430 EX II or 580 flash. Get a bounce diffuser for the flash as well. Then find someone who shoots weddings and become a secondary photographer to 'tag along' and learn.

Running around with an SLR at a wedding doesn't make you a pro :D But then again, neither does good equipment.


And Roland, that shot with the clouds and the jets was a photo of a lifetime. Awesome shot :tu .

Should post process the bottom scenery to a solid silhouette.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

Great Info. I have shot weddings before for friends and relatives on a budget. (IE Free) THey always compliment me some say it's better that the pictures my sister/brother/uncle etc paid for. The 5D Mk 11 is a little pricey but still great. The 50 MM lens was already on my list. ;)

All the friends and family see the pics and see me with the cameras and they think I am the camera/cigar guy and ask me sometimes "do you shoot weddings?" So I figured if I can shoot weddings and help it pay for quality equipment. What a win for me. If you throw in top quality customer service (which seems to be lacking in general in my humble opinion) you never know where it could head.

No pressure but let it evolve if it does. Don't dump a bunch of capital but don't be a cheap a$$ either. Course I took photog in high School/college and have Nikon D300 I can use pretty much any time I like.

Hey it's a start.

Re: Airshow Pics! Hillsboro, Oregon. 56K death
 

I just realized I may have "thread jacked" So my apologies to Roland. Those are some fantastic pictures. Great, great work. Alright back on track.
