Jboulin94 · 10-08-2008, 03:50 PM

Bill, I love the American! Very crisp. i have 3 in the queue right now.

Justino · 10-08-2008, 05:56 PM

Hey John, weren't you supposed to do a BWI thread a while ago?

Bill-ay · 10-08-2008, 08:00 PM

haha, thanks Justin, John. Ian, keep trying, it never fails!!

My new toy:

Never thought I'd save enough to actually get it!

Justino · 10-08-2008, 08:03 PM

OHHHHHHHHHHHH VERY NICE!!

When are you trying it out? I'm saving for that 70-300mm lens you showed me, but of course, I have other things to pay for at the moment.

C-FITL · 10-08-2008, 08:44 PM

nice photos!

should have gotten the F4 IS version. its sharper and a better performer than this 2.8 IS version. its also lighter and much much smaller too, not to mention cheaper! and I doubt you'll ever find yourself wanting 2.8 in spotting!

enjoy your purchase though! i hope you use it for more than just spotting otherwise thats quite a waste of that lens' capabilities haha

Airbus Boy14 · 10-09-2008, 01:38 AM

I got another one on.

Again with help from Billy

Justino · 10-10-2008, 10:51 PM

'Nother One:

Justino · 10-11-2008, 12:33 PM

And another one:

Horizon CRJ700 · 10-11-2008, 03:06 PM

Aggghhhhhh!

All of mine got rejected, every single last one of them!

Ok, next thing on my list is a Canon or Nikon SLR, guys, which do you recommend?

Justino · 10-11-2008, 03:39 PM

I use a Nikon D40 with a 55-200mm lens...Billy uses a Cannon. Can't remember the specific type....look in the previous pages of this thread. I know its been discussed once, twice, or 10 times before in here.

Horizon CRJ700 · 10-11-2008, 10:02 PM

Thanks, Justin. Do you reccomend the Nikon? It is the most reasonable and seems like a good deal to me.

There is an excellent variety of nikon lenses and they are much cheaper than canon in general.

Justino · 10-12-2008, 03:03 AM

Well I've never used a Cannon before, so I can't say if Nikon is better than Cannon or not. But with my experiences with the Nikon D40, I would definately recommend it...especially since it is a decent priced body. The lens is what you really need to invest in. I just heard on the radio that my local Hobby Shop is having a Nikon sale...so that 70-300mm lens may be coming in the very near future.

Horizon CRJ700 · 10-12-2008, 01:06 PM

Ok, sounds good, thanks for the advice, Justin!

Bill-ay · 10-13-2008, 09:31 AM

one more

Justino · 10-13-2008, 09:37 AM

Beautiful shot! Was this with the new lens?

Bill-ay · 10-13-2008, 09:41 AM

yessir! BTW, is it the 70-300mm Nikon lens you want or the 70-200mm 2.8 VR?

Justino · 10-13-2008, 09:44 AM

Cool...yeah its the 300mm I want...I need more zoom for some of these locations.

blueangel_78 · 10-14-2008, 12:37 PM

Well, got 3 rejected and 2 accepted. Wankers!!

Apparently this was the top view for a bit...

Let's see how this one fairs...

Thanks for letting me post in this thread with you guys! Appreciate it, and keep those shots coming.

Sagar

Justino · 10-15-2008, 12:36 AM

Fricken' Gorgeous Shots, Sagar! What do you shoot with?

blueangel_78 · 10-15-2008, 04:31 AM

Thanks Justino. I've got a Canon 40D, with a 28-135 IS lens, 100-400 L IS f/3.5-5.6, 17-40 L f/4, 10-22 ef-s, 50 f/1.8.

Bill-ay · 10-15-2008, 08:24 AM

sagar, I have to say you must be on the top 5 of best spotters on a.net!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill-ay · 10-15-2008, 06:43 PM

nother from the show.

Justino · 10-15-2008, 06:45 PM

Nice shot!! Its funny how you have 63 shots and I have 36 shots on jetphotos.net...haha!

Bill-ay · 10-15-2008, 08:06 PM

Hmmm, opposites. Is this an omen? haha

Got any in the queue currently?

Justino · 10-15-2008, 11:23 PM

Yup, I have just three shots in the queue right now...just re-edits. I'm plannin on taking the camera to work tomorrow...see what I can do.

blueangel_78 · 10-16-2008, 03:08 AM

Thanks guys! Just got Photographers' Choice on A.net. Kinda cool.

And thanks for the comments! Love the shots...keep em coming, and if anyone has any questions, happy to help out...

bruin787 · 10-18-2008, 02:49 AM

I made it to 25 on JP with this one...

Jboulin94 · 10-18-2008, 09:44 AM

Awesome pic jorge. All of mine got rejected again, all for contrast and JPG compression, and the SAS was rejected for being backlit.

B-16707 said earlier that you do not really need the likes of f.2.8 for this kind of photography, but I'll hazard a guess that that shot must have been from quite a fast lens to get it as sharp as that considering what the lighting conditions appear to be.

I await to be proved wrong as always however.

bruin787 · 10-18-2008, 06:47 PM

Well, I used a Canon "L" lens for this shot, but it was the f4.5-5.6 100-400mm.

here's #26

Jboulin94 · 10-18-2008, 09:40 PM

Jorge, again awesome shot! Bill, here are the originals for you.

Bill-ay · 10-18-2008, 09:48 PM

John, I do not know what the issue is, but I still can not edit these to their fullest. What file size did you take these on your camera (image quality setting)?

Jboulin94 · 10-18-2008, 10:03 PM

I took these on Super Fine.

Bill-ay · 10-19-2008, 10:45 AM

Yes, but what format size (4272x2848, 3088x2056, etc)? There should be a place you can adjust this in the menu of your camera.

blueangel_78 · 10-19-2008, 12:32 PM

Remember guys, the lens helps, as does the camera and resolution.

When you shoot, then you're trying to get the proper exposure, a fast enough shutter speed while keeping as low ISO as you can to reduce noise. Sharpness will be a result of the lens you are using and proper panning technique. If you have an IS or VR lens, that will help, but if you can't pan, it wont matter. You try to get the shot as close to technical perfection in terms of exposure & composition. But it's the post processing that makes a shot really a.net/jphotos worthy. So an L series lens will get you almost there, but the editing work on the image is where you'll make the adjustments and get those shots accepted.

Here is an example of how a shot is decent out of the camera, but just pops after some basic editing:

Justino · 10-19-2008, 12:52 PM

Great tips, Sagar.

Heres two more for me:

RandySF · 10-19-2008, 01:26 PM

Wow, it has been a while since I've visited this thread and I sure have missed out on some fantabulous photos! Wonderful work, Jorge, John, Billy, Justino!

Bill-ay · 10-19-2008, 02:06 PM

Hey Sagar, what editing program are you using? It looks great! BTW, where were those t-birds taken at?

nice shots Justin! Got anymore in the queue?

Thanks Randy. Get an SLR yet (the camera, not a car

)

I use Adobe Photoshop CS3. I now shoot all raw, but in the Tbirds pics, that was jpg and shot at Edwards a couple of years back.
