First DSLR
May 8, 2013 15:25:27 #
Just purchased my first dslr camera and settled on a Nikon D5100. I have been taking photo's for many years and finally decided it was time for an upgrade. I didn't realize how much I was lacking in photo knowledge. Wow! So now I find this site and will be searching through these pages to enhance my photography experience. Dad was a photographer in WWII and I enjoyed listening to his stories and putting that in perspective with the pictures he took. After the war he tried to go professional, but in the late 40's early 50's, it didn't put much money in the bank. However, he always enjoyed taking pictures and I guess I picked it up from him. Looking forward to learning something new each time I visit this forum.
Here are a few of the first pictures I took with this camera last weekend. Not the best, but hopefully, I will be improving soon. lol

Thanks, was pleased with those prop shots as well. Here is a picture taken at that same event of a B-29 with a 21 foot wing span. Picture wasn't centered like I wanted and the background was poor as well.

Why was there a version with 140 ft wing span, and one with a 21 foot wing span?

Honest question: This is a radio control model of the full scale B-29. I believe it is around a 30% to full scale. It is powered by 4 DA120 gas engines, producing approximately 56 hp.

Looking back at the photo's I should have figured that out from the background buildings. They sure look realistic however. Thanks for the explanation and the scale size.
