Navy Pics

Hello all I am new to these forums and new to photography, (with anything other then cheap little point and click cameras lol). I thought I would share a couple pictures I have taken so far with my new camera, ( Rebel XTi).

I have been reading here for a few days as a guest hoping to learn more and have picked up quite a bit though I'm sure it is just the tip of the iceberg for knowledge on this subject.

But anyways, here a couple pictures taken with the kit 18-55mm lens. I don't recall what settings I had the camera set to at the time.

Picutre 1 is taken from aboard USS Bainbridge (DDG-96) while doing "Leapfrogs" with the German frigate Rhienland - Pfalz (F-209).

Picture 2 is of a SH-60B lifting off of the USS Bainbridge (DDG-96).

*EDIT* I had to shrink the heck out of them to fit the 150kb limit :/ i need to find myself a site to host images from heh.

*EDIT 2* Found a site to host off of, so i am attaching thumbnails that will link to bigger versions of the pictures

Well, welcome to POTN.

Ummm.......Definately small in size.......They are good pictures though, especially when you look at the larger size ones on the host site.

You should see the orignals for size, the ones posted on the hosting size are 1/3rd the size of them. I got the 16gb memory card so I could be trigger happy because i like to shoot alot of pics and I keep it in large fine so they are huge

And thanks for the welcome.

Glad to hear you are having such a good time with your new camera shooting photos. It can most certainly be a very addictive activity. I think you'll find these forum pages very helpful and informitive as you begin to get more and more into photography.

Good start here. They could use some sharpening:
