LOL..you are too funny. :D and thanks. ;)

I've never seen one that looks like this. Can anyone identify it?

Thanks bucks. I think I could sit there all day watching the jets arriving and departing. :)

I spent a little time at the airport observation park at Baltimore-Washington Int'l Airport.

Awesome colors. Very nice photos. :)

That would be hanging on my living room wall. Very nice. :)

It isn't much to look at, but it's all mine. :)

You're correct. The M42 is the old Pentax screw mount. I have several screw mount lenses for my old 35mm. I bought an adapter to use them on my current camera. They work, but everything is manually operated and there are problems with focusing to infinity. Otherwise, they work nicely. :)

I wasn't using auto exposure. However, I will re-shoot these with something darker. I was just messing around last night. I need to find something a little darker and neutral. Thanks for the tips. ;)

These were not easy to capture. I was at an odd angle laying on the floor of the basement, trying to hand hold and keep it steady and in focus. I think I need a mini tripod. :)

Ok..the rest of the photos will have to wait. UHH keeps kicking me out when I'm uploading the photos. :\

Trying out the new camera with the 90mm macro lens. I still need some practice, but they're getting better. :)
My son came home a few days ago with a bottle in his hand. It had a dead cicada in it for me to take photos of. :D

I looked at the A77 myself. It wasn't that much more but it was enough that I just didn't have it. And for the major difference being the 12 fps and the magnesium body, it wasn't enough to justify the extra cost. The price cut on the A65 sealed the deal for me. :) And the A99 is sweet, but quite a bit too pricey for me.

What lens do you guys use with yours most commonly? I have my Tamron 18-200 on it and I like the lens, but I feel like my images are still a bit on the soft side. Unless I'm using a tripod which I can magnify and fine tune the focus but shooting action shots makes that a bit difficult.

A65 has an APS C, not a full frame. But with the resolution, you are correct. I can do lots of cropping and enlargement with little to no loss of picture quality.
