They aren't the best pictures, but they're pictures of perhaps one of the cooler things I've seen. I was fortunate enough to witness a meteor shower while deployed and the night sky during it was incredible. I took some photos through my night vision goggles to try and show the amount of stars but it doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately I couldn't capture any shooting stars but I saw more than I could ever imagine seeing again.

That's pretty cool!

Okay, let's give it a shot..

Not that it bothers me, but why is this thread pinned?

Are you surprised there'd be a bike in my photo?

Are you using SabreSpace's media library? If you want it to post full page you'll need to use a photo sharing site like Imgur or Photobucket.

 

oh i see, thank you

My camera saves in RAW and JPEG, I keep all my RAWs but I haven't really done any post-processing. I prefer to keep my shots as is, but I'd love to eventually get into Lightroom. I've tried some of the Canon software where I can mess with the RAWs, I'm sure Lightroom is much better.

I did a quick pass of this through lightroom:

I also found this photo hanging around in my folder, which seems relevant for this site:

This is a full service operation, mister.

Love that landscape shot. Great composition.

Yes, awesome. A good example of the rule of thirds, IMHO.

LTS, I love that beer shot! The simplest things make that picture, like the fact you avoiding shooting the tops of the bottles, that picture would have been completely different if you shot all of them in their entirety. Nice. 

I did a quick pass of this through lightroom:

 

 

 

Thanks. That came out real nice. I'm going to have to eventually give that a shot, if anything just for the fun of it. Maybe I'll check out the trial and compare it to Canon's version, I'm sure Lightroom is better.

mustache and LTS -- very cool stuff there.

 

Did anyone else suspect all along that PAFan had a bug fetish?

That's an outrageous accusation.

Hairy bug fetish......... I guess he doesn't like clean shaven.

Love me some macro lens stuff.

I have many of Sainte Chapelle, but this one always felt special in that awe of higher power sort of way.

There's a flightworthy version of one of those (C-47, the military variant of the DC-3) local to me.  For about a hundred bucks, they will take you on a low altitude excursion around the city.  I love the sound of the droning engines, reminds me of when I was a little kid and DC-3s were still landing at Buffalo Airport (I grew up just off the approach to main runway, in the Union-Genesee area).

Love the dramatic sky.  Really makes the photo.
