so anyone mess around with cameras and what not? and i mean like a real camera, SLR of some type. NOT your camera phone and instragram
around here in CT i don't have much to take pics of with my SLR set up, most of my photos are taken while i'm on vacations to Iraq or Afghan or the workup leading up to the dets. other ones are just when i feel like messing around or shooting guns.
when i was on a boat det in 2007 i picked up a used Cannon DLSR with a bunch of extra shit on ebay for $1200 at the time, now it's worth like $200 hahah. but one of the lenses is still good and some extras. although i do want to upgrade the body very bad i just don't have a real reason to.
Al Asad air base Iraq late june 07
figured it out and got a few decent ones although the white balance usually kicked my ass. still haven't quite figured it out, Iraq was very bright and tan so the hardest part during the day time was to not get the pics washed out.
edited them on my comp at the time and some worked while many were just too bad.
pilot
those 3 were from the first day i had the camera out i think, the rest are better hahah.
i'd say my favorite type of photos are night time long exposure pics because you never see things in real life the same way you can in the photos.
one of the guys in my shop low powering a jet at night, probably no moon and the only lights are from builds in the distance and the jet it's self.
these are what i managed to get from other people as i took a lot of pics on the way back on the boat but my hard drive broke so these are all i have of flight ops off the boat.
meh too late now, i'll post more another day. anyone else have some cool pics?
