Smart ass. 
Hey, just got a call from Channel 2, that storm cloud picture will be on the 5:30 news tonight. :wiggle:
ask for money for it… my dad used to get $150 a shot in the buffalo news
depends on which ones, they all shouldn’t have a funny tint. I did a quick edit on them with my laptop and the screen on these ThinkPads suck.
A lot of them look too red to me. Might be the shitty monitor here at work but I’ve never noticed it before.
Little FYI for the fellow photographers, tonight there will be a Lunar eclipse. Should make for some interesting photos if you have a decent telephoto lense.

I might try to find a 2x teleconverter for tonight to throw on my 300mm lens.
BluBalls, how do you shoot so that everything is showing motion(ie, wheels, and background) but the subject looks standing still? Do you just have really steady hands?
You have to follow the subject with the camera as it moves. It helps to use continious shooting for this since you can just hold the shutter down, and follow it as it passes you. or if you in a car shooting a car, then you just point, and shoot.
so basically you need pretty steady hands in order to pan along and not be too shakey? What kind of shutter speeds/aperature settings would you use in that case? Cause you do want to capture the movement, so it cant be too fast of a shutter right?
exactly, just gotta follow the subject with a slightly longer shutter speed(and higher number for Aperature). The lighting SUCKED so I was shooting at 1/45 for shutter and ~4 for Ap. Anything beyone 60 for shutter gets tough because you can see shake. The faster the car is going, the easier it is to do.
that depends on lighting. the longer the shutter, the more everything else will blur, but it would also make it harder to keep the subject from blurring. Theres a balance.
I would just throw it in Apterture priority and make adjustments to see what works best.
On a different not, since the weather is so nice, here’s a pic from last year.
FTMFW!
yeah I usually do use aperature priority mode. Helps me focus more on the shot and less on camera settings, but it always seems that when its really bright out, its hard for AP to get the right shot. OK, here is a good one that I had trouble with:
Beautiful spring day, not a cloud in the sky, and I see a helicopter start to approach in the sky. I set the aperature so that the shutter speed would be on the slower side. But still when I took the photo, I saw a stand still of the blades on the helicopter, no motion. In that case, when theres a ton of light, and you still want to capture some motion, what do you do?
edit: later on I am going to post some beginner pics taken with a Nikon D80 so I can get some opinions here, including ^^^^
So I was watching LOST the other day, and I keep seeing places on the show where I’ve been.
This hike, is right around where they had the golf course set up in the first season.
