It was a pleasure to come down again and finally get to meet Kaz, Manny, Mark (zee71), eric, Moose and many others. I had a blast hanging with Kaz and Manny most of the day. Thank for showing me a couple of nice spots Manny. I definitely will be using those next time around. Im in the middle of editing right now and headed out for lunch. I'll be posting some of my shots shortly. Hope there is some pics left to post that you guys haven't put up already.

You're right about that Manny. The unfortunate part about that though is that the light was REALLY horrible before i met up with Kaz. I think i was able to save a few though. I'm done editing. I will post them tonight after i return from bowling.

Wait a minute... bowling? BOWLING?! Steve, you need to learn that the hobby is more important. Sharing with your spotting friends should trup all other responsibilities!

Ok, so I'm home from bowling. Here are my pics from Saturday. I have to give a lot of credit to Manny for giving me some tips on camera settings which I believe has lead to a nice improvement in my photo quality. Any comments are always welcome. The morning shots may not entirely reflect these changes, the light was TERRIBLE.

Well, here they are:

Started off at the mounds and grabbed some shots before being asked to leave.

















My first banking shot. Too bad for heat shimmer.














Missed approach on 13L














This was one of the last of the night.


Hope you guys enjoyed my pics from Saturday.

Manny - sorry to put bowling before posting these pics. Hope they were worth the wait

Steve, absolutely great output... thanks for the kind words on my help... but we didn;t really make much time to play with settings and photography as we were kept pretty busy with the traffic.

I have an idea, why don;t we swap cameras for a few shots next time. I'll take your camera and try to get the best out of it (NEVER used a Canon before so results may be really poor LOL.) but if I get anything decent, we'll compare notes. You then get to do the same with mine. I definitely know what pictures should look like with my camera and thereby we can exchange ideas for better pictures... deal?

EDIT:
One more thing. What meter did you have selected throughout the day? What mode? Aperture Pri or Shutter PRi or Program Auto? Any compensation?

Thanks!
