Hey Keith - Tremendous image of Sparky. The panning, color balance and IQ are wonderful.

Thanks Jeff. I'm trying to learn Lightroom 3.5 tweaks.

Keith, that's an awesome shot of Brant in Sparky. He's a friend of mine and I have almost the same shot of him from the Mustang Gathering in Nut Tree airport in Vacaville a few months ago. Unfortunately mine was from the ramp with my 70-200 IS and I need to crop it a bit to get that close. (I would love to post it, but it's on my other computer back home, and I'm not.)

I was a bit bummed (actually ticked off) at the airshow when I walked up to two photographers with big white lenses (looked like super tele knockoff push/pull lenses) and I jokingly said "I have lens envy". They just looked at me, saw my setup, then down their noses at me. Didn't even acknowledge my presence. Give me a break.

beautiful work as always, Nusty!

what kind of life expectancy does that camera have anyway? I've often wondered that about mine

Thank you !

cropped way beyond reason, but the effect is cool.

Sounds like a dare, to which I should have declined... I have yet to master the high contrast situation, although in my defense the original image was nearly unsalvageable (probably should have picked a better starting image, huh?)
