Thordic, that second one is amazing.

Muz, what are you shooting?

**Muzikman** · 07-26-2006, 11:38 AM

Canon 10D

Most of those shots are with a Canon EF 28-135 3.5-5.6 IS

That looks so familiar to me, where'd you take that? And how do you manage to get decent shots of fireworks?

Great pictures Jason, as always. :)

e: Ahh, I just realized what I was thinking of, it reminded me of a lock on the C&O canal, although I'm sure you didn't come all the way down here just to take some more outdoorsy photos.

That photo is of the Grist Mill / Dam at McConnells Mill State Park here in PA (just down from where IAO use to be held). I do have quite a few photos from other places I have been, but none of the C&O, which, isn't that the canal that goes from Cumberland, MD to some where around DC?

Getting good firework shots is not so much about the photographer as it is the display. I find the best displays to shoot are small community ones. They have less money and less shells, so they tend to shoot one at a time. This makes for good fire works because it allows some time for the smoke to clear and you don't get over exposed photos from multiple bursts. The location and weather helps too. A cool, low humidity, windy (as long as it's not blowing at you) night are the best conditions.

If you don't know how to photograph fireworks you get weird crap like this:

Ok, let's try this again.

A portrait of my professor's baby. She's adorable.

Frower!

Before the times of my digital SLR:

Leafs. Being a Bostonian-turned-Southern Californian, I am obsessed with LEAFS and fall and snow, etc.

"Useful art," AKA a cigarette-shaped ashtray outside the art building at Trinity.

And again:

I liked the way this turned out, even though it was meant to showcase the jewelry I made and not the photography, and I can't use it anyway, because the colors aren't true. The center stone is jade and the piece is a chain maille Byzantine stitch.

And finally: not great photography, but meet Mudlick, the first of my family of iPod cozies-- iMonsters.

If I only knew how to post pictures on here... I got some really cool pictures from Ireland.

**Hexis** · 07-26-2006, 10:08 PM

Thanks a lot guys. This thread is turning out even better than I hoped. I'll be posting some more stuff later this week.

Not really photography but more of a human side to it.

Just doing what WI Marines know best.

One of my marine buds Lcpl Reckiles but dont really know why it turn out grainy I'm wondering if the Cali heat got to the film. ANd yes the beer is taped to his hands after droping four directly out of his hands.

My buddy Vinny another jarhead notice reckiles in the background with tape still around his hands
And a random surfer from Oceanside CA

My friend Deano as mentioned before shot this with his 10D the winter before I was activated.

Still one of the best pics of me I think. I love snow because its cold.
