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 in the link because it always shows up and shouldn't be seen. If you already have that tag don't click the image icon in the box just paste the link you already have.[/QUOTE]

Ohh now see that would make sence..i didnt even think of that..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.

That is an awesome picture..I love the chrome...yea all my shows were general admission..i just got into the airport before to see the jets..lol

Don't worry about a new body, just save for an L lens. What do you have now?

IMO my rebel takes as good as pis as my wife's mark2 but with different lens each camera is better in its own way

Looks good, i dont give critique unless someone ask me to. You mentioned previously about using flash....flash is great on cars. Its just that you need a lot of light to do it at night. Most on camera strobes don't have nearly enough power. I have done it with two or three, best deal is a studio pack or mono lights.

Yea I noticed with my camera if I make the exposures too long they tend to be grainy..so I have to have like a street light nearby or parking lot light..

D3000 has excellent night shooting. Use a tripod and shoot at 100iso or lower if possible at night. This will eliminate most of the grain and shakiness from the image.

Yea i try to get in a parking lot or somewhere with a street light. The flash thing didnt go so well.

Using flash on camera won't work very well in any situation IMO.
When I use flashes outdoors, I like to use a remote setup usually with umbrellas.

Ah yea but see I was young and nieve and wanted the cheapest dslr a few years back..didnt do much research...lol

No worries, d3000 is my back up camera and it works well.

Yea its working great for me. I tried the whole flash thing amd yea it didnt work lol. Im gonna try using a low iso next time I go shoot. I didnt think of that before but it def makes sense.

Light painting is another option. Using flash to paint light on the car while the shutter is open seems to work well for night shots
