If you are stationed in Vegas I\'m guessing you are in the Air Force. Thank you for your service to our country!
You did not ask for C&C but I would like to offer the following comments for you to consider for your future posts. First, these look like they are straight out of the camera. There\'s nothing wrong with that......if everything is as good as it gets in camera. These, like 99 percent of mine, are not. Mostly due to composition. They need to be tighter. If you don\'t have photoshop please stop everything, scrape up 80 bucks and go get the latest edition of elements, 7 I think.
That being said, let\'s move on to your post.
1. Photos #1-3......they are pretty much all the same. Pick one, cull the others.
2. Photos # 4-5.....You don\'t need both. #5 shows the shock wave from the shot so I\'d keep it and toss #4
3. Your photo numbers are off between 4&5. Sounds nit picky but it complicates the C&C process.
4. Photos 6-8 (per photo count) need to be tighter but even then it just looks like someone holding a gun. Again pick one. No need for three.
5. Photos 9-12. The girl is out of focus in 9 and 10 and again, two sets of almost identical shots. Pick one from each set.
6. Photo 13. Decent but a shell casing suspended in the air or some indication of recoil would be nice.
7. Photos 14-18. Need to be tighter. Most shots that are left loose in order to include a ball or net or in this case shell casings don\'t really work. Five shots of this one.........do I really need to say it?
8. All of these can benefit from some simple levels and sharpening adjustments.

Keep shooting and get some photoshop.
