Long story, but I finally got around to processing some photos I took at the Nellis Airshow last fall.

edit: Click on any of them for larger version (Thanks to Parrothead for the idea!)

Enjoy!

WOW!

Some great shots of the Thunderbirds there (what kind of zoom lense are you using)? I like the F-22 Raptor and the Heritage flights as well. Some of these pic's I will probably use as a wallpaper. Thanks for posting these. Very Happy

Thanks, I was pretty happy how they came out myself Smile

I used an 80-200mm F/2.8 and a Nikon D70. These aren't very big. The ones on my webpage are available at 1024x682.

nice pictures. By pure luck I was in Vegas for a convention that weekend and heard, while driving from the airport, about the airshow and I said to my self: "weekend saved"

Yeah, my earlier post I was surfing the web while on break from my job. Glad you have them posted at larger resolutions at http://rossdillon.smugmug.com/Wings%20a ... els/288468
The photos are very clear and I like the composition too. I almost hate to suggest it but have you thought about adding a "watermark" to one of the corners of your photos? Using something like this http://www.uconomix.com/Products/uMark/ ... px?o=GAOTD (although you could find a ton of links to software just like this with a quick google search). Just a suggestion, again thanks for sharing your wonderful photos with us. Smile

Appreciate the good words...photography is one of my passions. I just wish the rest of my life didn't get in the way, you know, things like job, family...(I kid!)

I've never bothered to put (c) in my photos (they're in the metadata however) because (1) I'm too lazy to develop a cool logo and anything less is, well, not cool, and (2) I shoot for enjoyment, not $$, so if folks like my pictures then I'm happy.

If somebody artsy wants to develop me a cool logo...

Roscoe,

I really meant it when I said I think your pics from Nellis '08 are better than mine Not Worthy

I thought it was pretty funny that you posted this today because I've been working on something like it for my blog and I just finished the new post Smile

I also said I was going to post some of my pics from that airshow, so here's a few of my favorites Mr. Green

I hope everyone likes 'em and doesn't think I went too far overboard Wink

If you want to see the rest of my favorites, click here for the blog post. The pictures there are clickable - you get the full size picture in a new window when you click on the picture in the post.

I also made a YouTube video out of the same pictures - click here if you just want to see that Smile

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to say that I made all the pictures clickable here, too - click on the picture to get the full size version Cool

Fair warning - some of the full size pictures are BIG Twisted Evil

That's pretty cool...how you you hyperlink photos?

edit: Nevermind, I just quoted your post and saw the links...you basically wrapped a URL around the picture.

I'll have to try that sometime...

parrothead - your photos are very nice as well, I love them all - nice viewings

Thanks - Meathook
