Love that first one! I just sent u a contact request on flickr Jeff

Re: Photography Thread
 

I've had my T2i for about a year and a half, good camera. Do wish I would have spent a little more on the 60D, but I'm happy. Rented a 24-105mm L lens and man, that makes a HUGE difference. I few of the pics above were taken with it. Scraping together the money to buy the 24-105....can't wait!! :tu

Added brother!

This place is a bad place to be if you're trying to save for a lens. Soon you'll see all that money going "up in smoke" lol

I'll have some more pix up on here and flickr come end of the month or so; Me and the wife are going to visit my aunt and uncle up in New Englad. We are going to hit up Amish Country, Philly, Boston, NYC, Lizzie Borden's house, and places around CT as well.

No kidding! I can sell some vacation at work after the first of the year, that should help.

You got some nice pics on your Flickr account. The jet pics are freakin awersome!!

Thanks brother! Yeh I was proud of those. Took those with my old camera, Nikon D3000. Since upgraded to a Nikon D90.
I'll be selling some Holiday days next year too.

Re: Photography Thread
 

Ahh! A thread I can jump head first into!

Photography was something I always wanted to get into when I was young, but it was too expensive (mistakes on film get costly), and I'm one that learns by doing. But when digital SLRs came down to around $1000, I jumped in.

I've been shooting on and off for about 4 years now. I really need to have the passion to shoot, otherwise my shots just look like anyone else's photos. But when I'm really in the mood to shoot, it's obvious that I put feeling into each shot.

I'm terrible at picking out what's my good work and clumsy work, I'm my own worst critic, but I think these are some of my better ones.

I shoot pretty much everything and anything that interests me, and have on occasion been paid for my work.

Re: Photography Thread
 

It kinda reminds me of an amp tube, the old style.

Awesome pics!!

Re: Photography Thread
 

Bingo! It's a 12AX7 vacuum tube macro.

For those that don't know, it's a preamp tube that's about the diameter of a nickel, and about 2.5" tall.

Here is a quick images I found on google.

My shot is a macro of the internal wiring. Those flat copper bands you see welded to the copper pins are about the thickness of a hair, and the pins are about .5mm

Good guess, I didn't think they were that "messy" looking but at that magnification I can see why they appear that way.
