Awesome awesome. Those night shots though = Top notch.

As others have said, you're easily the best photographer here in terms of overall quality and composition, etc.

MarcS--very close second.

hmm....ill have to think about that....

i had tons of stuff for my film cameras (nikon F5 and F80s) ...but some of them are not compatible with the digital stuff

i also have a 170-500mm lens...which on a digital becomes 255-750 mm ...but i rarely use it because its almost impossible to get a good shot without the tripod

i started photography 6 years ago....(although on and off) and got all those tools throughout those years

i think in total....hmm....i can get a pretty decent turbo or supercharger kit with other mods

that sucks that some of the lenses won't work on your new cam. 750 mm is just insane. a tripod is definently needed for that. keep on taking some badass pics.

a little side story:

so we were taking pics of the car, and this truck driver stopped. he asked, isnt this the car that can go 8, 6, 4 cylinders?


im surprised that a lot of ppl think the cobalt holds a V8...its not the first time that ppl ask me that question
