I finally stopped lurking and joined what has to be the finest thread on the net. I've always been interested in aviation and found this site after being badly injured a couple of years ago. the beautiful photography and wonderful each of you wrote got me through many a bad day. I've learned a lot from you all, but have not had much chance to put it to work. Just getting to where I can kind of Walk again. I did make it to the airshow in Winston Salem NC but as you can imagine being my first the result's were less than stellar. If I can figure how to upload maybe you guys can critique and help me. Alas no full circles.

Michael, a very warm welcome to this crazy corner of the web with friendly wonderfully talented photographers with way too much gear & skill, just like yourself,

C&C perhaps these could look better in 16 x 9 format somewhere around 1200 x 900 to crop a little of the "dead area" out & promote the subject more dominantly . Nothing wrong with your quality a grey sky has flattened the contrast, well done, more please,

Regards, went

For all of ya'll incredible aviation photogs, I thought the following link would bring some bittersweet news.

Never been a fan, the only real racing happens at Reno.

That might well be true, but the Red Bull circuit provides considerably more entertainment and unique photo opportunities compared to Reno.

Going through some TDY photos from earlier this year....

Welcome MRuss!

We have been blessed with a wonderful spot here, and what makes it what it is, is people like you. Sorry to hear of your injury, glad you are on the mend. There have been lots of stories about how our thread and the wonderful people who make it up have helped folks improve their photography. I have to say, in my book, a post like yours trumps all of that, the fact that we can improve one day of someone's life, help them through a bumpy patch, lift their spirits, is what this group is all about.

Thanks for joining us, come along at whatever speed you are comfortable with, let us know how we can help. Wishing you a great New Year and a speedy return to 100%.

Welcome No_Surrender,

That is one striking image! Thanks for sharing it!!

Dear Jan Arie,

Yup, Butch is flying the leg from KTKI to San Diego. He asked me to fly right seat but I had a client meeting today that I couldn't move. The upper level winds are howling, so the trip out will be about 5.5 with a fuel stop. He was going to tank up and fly back in the middle of the night but I made him promise to spend the night. I've lost enough friends this year.

Dear Zim,

Sorry, I'm late to the party on your RAM question, but the MA2A brain trust has pointed you in the right direction. I get all my RAM from Crucial. You'll never get them to admit it, but my Mac Gurus suggest Crucial. Ya gotta be nuts to buy Mac RAM, don't know why they don't come to the party and sell it for what the competition does.

Can hardly wait for you to configure that baby and fire it up!

Haha, pun intended?

Thanks, I post here from time to time...just not very often.

Boy, I give up on the Canon forums at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/

I post a link to the 2012 Reno galleries, and they can't seem to figure out how to find them?? Only place I have ever had that complaint. I know my site is very basic and not exactly state of the art these days, but this boggles my mind.

your site isn't that complicated...but it does seem a little slow. That might just be my end though, I'm at work.

Welcome Michael. It looks like you are well on your way as an aviation photographer. Great shots, and even greater prop blur. As you know, we are a rather laid back bunch with a very diverse range of interests and talents. Please hang around, because you are now a part of the MA2A family.

Regards, Colin

Kevin (no_surrender), welcome back.

GoDaddy is the host, so I have nothing to do with that other than all my files are level 10, 11, 12 jpegs, so the files are large at times.
