<p>That's the aviation spirit we all want R.T!!!<br>

Beautiful DC3s =)</p>

<p>A great POW as always guys...<br>

Since I'm not into big shootings anymore, I can only take random pix here and there...No time for anything elaborate.<br>

This one I took with window light only. It was pretty amazing in the morning...</p><div></div>

<p>Good pix guys!<br>

Pardon my ignorance but...What does W/NW mean??</p>

<p>MMM...I love W2...W5 is good too!<br>

Hey congrats on those contrasts!! Kick ass, really</p>

<p>Good luck buddy!!! Let us know how it all goes</p>

<p>@Dave Hollander,<br>

Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, hey..nourishment is important! lololol<br>

Aviation has always been my great passion, and since now I graduated, and found a job within a month, despite this crisis. It's a miracle.<br>

I had my first day today. Weird stuff, nothing to do with college. But those 9hs went flying by... It was gooood!<br>

So, in the next weeks I hope to post some aviation pix. Or some dirty mechanic's stuff here and there =)</p>

<p>Wow guys! Absolutely all the pix are amazing!!!!! I wish I had time to comment on everyone pix...<br>

This POW is really, but REALLY impressive!!! Congrats...<br>

Bad thing I have nothing to post this week...excepts shots from my last shootings.<br>

I just got a job in a corporate jet operator as a mechanic, so I'm going to miss my daily shooting for a while. I will still post things on the forum, and help wherever I can =)</p>

<p>You can get a job as a paparazzi. Lol... take pix of celebreties from miles away =).<br>

Nice job!</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments guys...<br>

The shooting went bad for real..no kidding. The girl came up to the studio with an idea to make herself a photo book or something like that. The thing was..she had no IDEA of what she wanted, and then after of one hour of relaxation and light adjustments, she said out of the blue that she had to go, because she had an appointment with another person. Basically, I had only one hour with her, of which only 10 min were effective. I had to make another appointment with her for next Friday. I told her to bring more ideas of what she actually wanted, clothing, and MORE TIME!!!<br>

As a result for this past Friday, I ended up with 5 "yoga" shots, instead of dance shots. And another bunch which I post processed as B&W, the ones you guys saw on the forum. I did not post the yoga stuff, since it's a photo forum and not a health magazine lolololololol!<br>

By the way, I love Jon Reid's pic. "First time with a Pentax"???? I think he wants to see my first time with a Pentax...that was slidefilm on a K1000, a totally worthless underexposed shot...</p>

<p>Nice pix guys!<br>

Robert nice flashlight concept. I think i'm going plagiarize it a little bit... =)<br>

THis week had a shooting that went bad. Basically I have to do all over again, but I could save some pix, making them "artistic. Tell me what you think!!!</p><div></div>

<p>I go with my Bowens wherever possible...<br>

But I agree with Justin, it always depends on the situation and what you actually want =)</p>

<p>1<br>

It forces you to choose among the best ones you have...</p>

<p>Yah Justin...im in with u with that one. LOLOLOL!<br>

It's just hilarious.<br>

In my opinion, it would be a totally bad move to design a FF for Pentax. That market is small, and the IQ difference is not critical enough for a big investment. They would rather concentrate on the MF digital offer. Make it cheap, make it good. And Hail Pentax for its 645...</p>

<p>Hey I use just a cable, make sure you also use a snoot or the zoom function on your flash. In order to create dramatic effects, usually underexpose the scene by a 2 or 3 stops, and lighten one portion of the frame (i.e face, chest+face, etc). If people are your subject make sure to have a gold gel filter on your flash. The warming effect is incredible. Gives a very nice skin tone =)<br>

If u got the money for the transmitters, go for that! Eventually you going to end up havin bunch of those</p>

<p>Yeah..some models are not good at it...<br>

<br /> I use my Voigtlander 90mm, in full manual mode in my DL, since it doesnt support the A mode. Same thing in the K110...<br>

But I see that further models like K20, work fine without a glitch</p>

<p>ME:<br>

Thanks for the explanation. You definitely give a lot of thought for your lens use. I wish I had that experience to evaluate which lens to use. I stick to my VL 90mm, my Pentax 50, and some times the 18-55.<br>

I'll try to upload the third image. It's weird that it cannot be displayed... grr</p>

<p>Grr...why my last shot came undisplayble??? grrrr...<br>

For M.Elenko:<br>

Hey, for ur macro shots, why dont you stick to ur VL 125??? Any second thoughts to it? =)<br>

THose mamiya shots look good though...</p>

<p>Last one...<br>

All pics taken with my DL! =)</p>
