Well the city fireworks were cancelled for this evening but some of the locals set off some fireworks. Fortunately I had my camera set up and I was able to get some decent shots. The city should put on their display tomorrow night so I will update this thread tomorrow with more pics...

Well my new interest is in off camera lighting. So I have been doing a lot of reading on the strobist site. So here are my first attempts at lighting a black car while trying to balance the ambient light. 1) First a shot of the SRT8 without a flash to give you a better idea of the effect...

I went downtown this weekend to see if I could come up with some interesting shots. I ended up taking several long exposures of a fountain in a small park and some light trails of passing cars. I am pretty happy with how they turned out and I am getting more and more ideas on new things to...

A Mazdaspeed 6 that is. It was about time for a change and although the stang has been good to me over the last few years I wanted something newer and more refined. This car is an 06 and has 30,000 miles on it. It's AWD, turbocharged and a lot of fun to drive. I will get much better shots...

....but the car, according to carfax has been wrecked twice. I know the previous owner and the last accident was a fender bender. The front right was damaged but has since been replaced and repainted. I drove the car the other day and absolutely fell in love with it. I can get it for a good...

My brother and I went out for the annual cruise night here in Abilene, so I decided to take the camera out there and see what kind of shots I could get. These are my best shots. For those that are interested they were taken with a D40 with the 18-55mm lens at f8 and a shutter speed of 60th...

Well I went out to a local lake and set up my tripod and waited for the show to begin. I wish I would have taken my telephoto lens with me because the fireworks were a little further away than I thought. All shots taken with a Nikon D40 with the following settings. F8, ISO 200, Exposure...

Here are a few new shots with the D40 and a new 50 mm f1.8 lens. This 1.8 is such a sharp lens and I would highly recommend it to any Nikon user. Comments welcome.
