Cheers guys. Since I have both the D200 and the D300 now, I used both to shoot the moon. They both performed well, but the D300 was a little bit sharper. But the d300 also has a few more megapixels, to be fair. I used the Sigma 50-500 for this shot, and it is cropped to bring out the detail.

WOW!!!! I so need to upgrade. Excellent shot Eric! That is crisp!

Great shots Eric, really sharp.

Here is a little experiment I did a couple of weeks back. I used a plasma globe, black coth background and a tripod. Different shutter speeds yielded different results.

Shutter speeds got quicker shot by shot?
Awesome idea and attempt, Eric

 

[Gnomey]

Lovely shots Eric!

 

[ontos]

Great shots Eric, experimentation is so much fun. Cheers

 

[evangilder]

Thanks guys. Yes, Shinpachi, I went real slow to faster. I took a ton of shots and played around with different settings like ISO, shutter speed and f-stops.

What a great way to learn about the impact of ISO and shutter speeds. Brilliant!

 

[GrauGeist]

What a cool idea!

I have always loved the Plasma lights, never thought about grabbing any shots, though!

They came out excellent!

Thanks Dave. I had misplaced my tripod and found it while looking for something else. While we were rearranging some furniture, I set the plasma ball down and that's when the idea hit me. Sometimes creativity strikes when you least expect it.

Really like those, that was a good idea.

 

[GrauGeist]

Sometimes creativity strikes when you least expect it.

Those are the best kind of shots, too!

Last Sunday, I was in a 19 ship formation for the Veterans Day parade over Santa Barbara. It was some of the best formation work I have ever seen from the air. Here are some samples

Bravo flight behind us with Charlie flight forming up behind them

Alpha flight over Santa Barbara

This was a tricky shot to get!

Doesn't get any better than this.

I'm leaving here in about 10 minutes to do a shoot for an advertising campaign, and will be flying some aerobatics. Wheee!

 

[Gnomey]

Great shots Eric!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

You're rubbing it in way to much Eric.
But I would to so..........................have at it!

Love that behind the tail shot, you must have had to wriggle around a bit to get that one.
