Hey all, I'm new at posting here. I thought I would post one of my few first shots I have taken with my D80.
Quick Background: I'm a helicopter pilot by night, photographer by day. This is unfortunately my second tour here in Iraq. And I am on month 10 of 15 right now.
Iraqi moon.
If you're in the army that should make you a Warrant Officer take care over there. a few more moon taking tips use spot metering, manual focus, and under expose a bit, this will allow you to bring back more detail with a editing program.
I thought about who I am... and realized I was an
unformed, unreconciled imagery, without "GOD"
Thanks for the moon tips. I'll have to add that to my repitour of things that I have learned here thus far.
New day here for me and a new photo.
Also, any tips and suggestions for aerial photography as that is where about 80% of my photos will be from? The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior isn't the smoothest aircraft in the world.
Maybe a 300mm VR lens? The only problem with that is that I can't justify to the wife a lens for more than $1k. Used maybe?

Only one person flies (right seat), the other person (left seat) operates the TV/Thermal sensor on top. I took this photo while on the ground sitting in the left seat.
It is basically just a 'souped' up Bell 206 (news helicopter); minus the 2.75" rockets, .50 cal machine gun and hellfire that we have.
