Nice shots Alchemy. I saw three full size rock crawlers yesterday in Corolla. They were pretty cool. Didn't have my camera though.

Thanks Beach. Yeah I cant afford to do the real thing, though it would be awesome!! Ill have to stick w R/C, which is fun too.

ewwww....spiders.

Your white balance seems to be a bit warm in these. If it was intentional ignore this comment... but if it's not.. I figured I would give you a heads up.

It was intentional. Is it too much???? I think the shots look pretty good, I love the first one. Im an amature photographer lol. Part of the prob is I edit on my gf's pc which has a crappy screen and I dont truely see what they look like till I post em and look at em via my Droid. I really need to break down and buy the new charger I need to get my HP up and running. Thanks for the advice though.

Quick shot I finished the other day of our M3.

As long as that is what you wanted the outcome to be then its fine. I personally think it could use a little less. If you wanted to keep the warm tone to it, you could desaturate it just a hair to make it a little less intense.


I really just wanted to give you a heads up in case it wasn't intentional.

I accept and welcome all criticism. I want my photos to come out better so thanks. Looking at them I do feel its a tad much. I do think most of my color mistakes come from my gf's monitor like I said. Its so dull that I think I bump certain values too high sometimes to make it look good on her screen. In turn it looks off on a crisper display. Either that or I just suck;)

Do you guys have the CRANE? that you can remotely fire your camera, those are great tools.

Make sure you open up on 1 stop so that you can get the water to appear white instead of gray remember our cameras only see 18% gray

Nice progressions everyone.

Just found this thread and figured i would post a few of my favs from my deployment. Pics were taken with either a D70s or D700. I have literally thousands more to choose from (4k+) so i have plenty more if people would like to see some others.

^Nice shots! Love the fire shot. Love the MP-7, luckily Im only familiar with it in the video game realm:) Thanks for your service, post some more shots:tup:

Here are a few from a car meet I went to recently. All were taken with a Nikon D700 and 35mm Prime with no flash.
