It's a hassle to drag the equipment but it's worth it......gimbal heads are great for air shows. Good luck and have fun. I was able to shoot the Thunderbirds a couple of years ago it was a blast.
Thanks for the info... Will it be available in the Pentax mount?
Great detail with very a pleasing background. That's a wall hanger.
Very colorful bird I like #2

Has anyone taken photo classes given by the local camera shop? or at the local library? Does anyone belong to a local hobby photo club? Are there any in the St. Louis Mo. area?
There are two clubs in the St.louis area......The St.louis Camera Club is celebrating it's 100th year. It is well known and highly regarded. It meets every Wednesday from September through May. I haven't joined yet but I have a friend that is very active. They have a very nice web page just Google it.
The other is the St.louis Photography Club.....It is ran by one of the guys at Schillers. I don't know much about it but it seems that they have a lot of seminars.
[quote=lighthouse]The people you are talking about aren't going to be any different with film.
They are still going to not learn.
Yes, I see them too.
I see snapshooters on here who have been talking photos for 50 years (40 years film, 10 years digital) and still take boring photos with boring composition.
On the other hand, the people I am talking about, are going to take 10,000 to 15,000 shots a year, and in doing so, they will go from zero to very good amateur in two years or less

that is true I've been taking dig pics for 4 or 5 years if it was film my debt would be more than the government debt of the USA and Third world combined.

You worded that wrong. You meant to say, "Now, let me give you a load of mis-informative crap. Digital throws too much information at the new photographer, while learning on film focuses on the basics of exposure, lighting, and procedures of composition. Digital them introduces doing it all with the exceptional confusion of using a computerized capture device and computerized graphic arts mechanism.
So happy to help you correct your misinformation.
That could be why I am making so much money selling film camera's to those who have been overwhelmed by doing everything from A - Z with digital. Sold $2000 worth of used film equipment in the last two week. Bought it for pennies on the dollar because of people who listen to people like you. :mrgreen:

I like the way you think.

I get the sense that for many, post processing is as much, or more, of a hobby than making the exposure.
that's the problem with digital photography....most people think they can click a crappy pic and then fix it in some raz mataz computer program. Take a look at the cc section on the hog it should be renamed the joke section.......they are all pp junkies that take crap photos and send it to their minions for "critique".....minion one will say put two more layers and get rid of the power line.....minion two will say crop it more to the top.....minion three will say burn and dodge the photo in ps (Photo shop) version 7.9.
JMHO Learn to use your camera...you may have to do a little pp but if it takes more than twenty seconds it's a turd.......... push the crapper handle (Delete button) and get rid of the stink.
That's a wall hanger! Nice job.
Don't shoot weddings......Brides mothers are the spawn of Satan.
