Don't be so sure of that. There was probably a reason they had professional gear and you didn't.

By the way, do you have a link to your photo gallery (other than Sonic pics)?

Yeah there's a reason. I'm not rich and I don't do it for a living.

Nice gun shots. While I'm not necessarily a gun fan (not very knowledgeable), the pics look very good.

What's the $50 lens? A used nifty 50? (50mm 1.8) Great little lens if that's the one you have.

Love the Old Sac pics...it's one of those places very special to me.

If you love ghost towns I highly recommend making a trip to Bodie, CA. My gf and I went there last year and it's a photographer's goldmine. Bodie, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You do some nice work. Maybe it's time to consider more professional gear...and try making some money at it.

Oh yea dont get me wrong. Ive taken some amazing shots with this camera. Ive have thousands of photos ive shot over the years..they have been on websites and the news a few times. Id like to get something with a better sensor but.

Unfortunatly I didnt write down what my settings were. I wanted the photos to be darker with the "blacked out" look.

Heres a few photos ive done

Yep 50mm 1.8 is the main one I use. I used to live in Sac until last December.

Ok, I just wanted to get a feel of where you were coming from with the pics. What type of processing did you do?

That last one looks a little like the storm cloud that was photoshopped over the Statue of Liberty last week that kept appearing on facebook. Sweet catch! I love evil looking clouds.

Here's the shot I'm talking about:

sonic007 I've noticed that allot of the times when you post pics in a thread you have extra tags on them. When you grab your link from Flickr you must already have the tag

 

[sonic007]

Haha havnt got to shoot the blue angels yet..i have easily over 300 photos of the thunderbirds. I got a personal tour so i was literally standing next to them. I almost got to sit in number 7..lol

I'm not that special lol, i'm just a guy with a DSLR that tries to take good pics lol. I've been featured on a photo website like flickr but smaller 3 or 4 times but nothing special like getting really up close to the thunder birds lol.

Nice, I hate air shows, I like them but since i'm poor and cheap I don't buy the exclusive pass's lol so I get there with general admission. So I have to get there and pretty much run to the planes before to many people get in the way lol. I like this one the best out of my air show pics. Mainly because of the reflection.
