Great shots everyone!
Oh yea. I think this was more a coupling/de-coupling demonstration. If they actually refuelled they'd be flying straight for a good while.Quote:

Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
Last, but certainly not least is my favorite aircraft of the day - and in our country's arsenal. This, even more so than the Osprey, is the most incredibly complicated aircraft, probably in the world. Capable of both supersonic flight, vertical takeoff & landing and literally hovering in place.
Here it is in formation with the aforementioned F/A-18 Hornet (bottom) & Harrier Jump Jet (top).

...and here it is all by its beautiful lonesome.

It can fly low & slow...

...or stop & pause for photos. It was moving the nose left & right, just hovering there in what I'm sure is an incredibly difficult maneuver for the pilot.

Well, that's all from MCAS Cherry Point. Thanks for looking, C&C is always welcome, especially since it's my first time capturing this kind of stuff.
...later!

Next up Wildlife bird photography with a 50mm f/1.8G prime lens :D
HDR photography was invented for realism. The fact that some people use HDR software to push their photos into the surreal doesn't change that ;)Quote:

That is indeed a very sexy piece of engineering, even though it is already quite "old" in modern development terms. I would love to know what kind of up-to-date crafts they already have or working on behind those black curtains..Quote:

Bird photography with just a 50mm lens? I am looking forward to that. You need advanced ninja stealth skills for those to get close enough. I can't capture anything remotely wild with just the 50mm >_<Quote:

This... Corvus Corona (? i think) was brave enough to let me get my camera as close as 30cm away from it and it would stand there chilling and looking at me and its surroundings.
It even allowed me to twist a branch that was on the branch it was sitting on :D
Hehe, ok, I rest my case. I haven't been this lucky yet. Probably in China all the animals are afraid of being eaten.
I encountered quite a nice sunset yesterday, but I was in a car, unfortunately:

^ Is that with a 50mm BZ ?? :eek:..............................FANTASTIC :clap:
If I can ever save enough for a good macro ($700) I'll be a happy man, I'm sick of living off 2 minute noodles to feed my camera/lens addiction :(
Oh and maybe a 150-500 zoom.................when I win lotto :yepp:

Saturday was a perfect evening for a ball game.

I even caught a Bulls player knocking a homer over that huge left field wall.

Those are great shots for such high ISO hoki, @ over 1600 my D7100 is screaming with noise compared to my D5200, yet they share the same sensor :shrug:

Above the Clouds by alpha0ne, on Flickr
Thanks. You're right, the 70D handles noise quite well. Even when it's there, it's not that intrusive. Of course, a 6D or 5D Mark III would be better, but the 70D's is easily handled in post. The one of the guy hitting the homer above is ISO 2500. Here's one of downtown Durham at ISO 6400.
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5517/...8f59b52b_b.jpgDowntown Durham at Night by hokiealumnus, on Flickr
This one is also ISO 6400, but it has some grain actually introduced with the B&W processing.
https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2903/...057d05a2_b.jpgCascading B&W by hokiealumnus, on Flickr
EDIT - I should also note at large resolutions, there is absolutely noise apparent in these. I wasn't going for no noise - because you get no noise at the expense of detail. Rather, I was going for a balance between noise vs. detail, erring on the side of detail.
Been busy the last few days after being cooped up for a week due to rain :down:

I am killing some time at Hong Kong airport on my way back from Computex. I couldnt take my DSLR, so I decided to upgrade my always-with-me camera to a Sony RX100 and apart from the screen, which I totally scratched in this just one week, I quite like it. Need to update my software so it can work with its raw files in the right way.
