I like it but it seems like the thumbnails and full-size images take longer to load than normal.

okay... here are the rest of my airshow photos... fun stuff.
Awesome mother****ing shot!
If you've got this in RAW, make it HDR pronto. That'll be a badass looking HDR, methinks.
Oh, and congratulations on that F-18 shot in your earlier post. That's got to be one of the cleanest shots like that I've ever seen.
Very nice! That just goes to show great timing is still more important than spray and pray (even though it was the camera buffer that was doing the timing in this case)
Great shot, the others you have from the air show are fantastic as well.Michael Zampelli said:
That is very cool, they are very lucky to have you shooting for them.
For me it seems to be pretty nimble, and one thing I really like is when in the sideshow-ish mode, it preloads the next images, so it is REALLY fast flipping between them. I like it, very slick and navigates well.
I need to get off my ass and rewrite my gallery.
"HI!" back, btw.
Here's something I threw together. Need to tighten it up a little.

I need somewhere to send publicity people and band contacts where they can see what I do in a direct way without the clutter.

The HDR shot doesn't quite work for me, I think it would benefit from being a more natural looking shot. That looks overprocessed which works for some shots, but I don't think works for that one. Oh, and one more thing - I'd crop it a little differently, leaving a little more space on the left for the jets to fly into.
Congratulations on the Hornet shot, that's an amazing one.

HDR -- heres my best shot
HDR
Original.
I'm totally digging on the HDR version. The original is great, and could probably benefit from some curve work to bring out some more contrast. But the HDR version, for me, illustrates the surreal feeling that you must have had when shooting the shot.
I admit that I'm still on the HDR bandwagon. But as I've been sifting through some of the Flickr HDR groups I'm realizing that there are a lot of shots that don't deserve the HDR treatment. This one looks great and not overstated.
Good job.
I appreciate HDR technique for two reasons: First, it gives us an ability to take a picture and give it a very interesting "illustrated" quality. Second, and on the opposite end of the scale, it has the ability to create "superexposed" images that really allow you to bring the details in highlight and shadow regions more into line with what the human eye can see.
How an HDR turns out really depends upon the processing techniques used. I've had some neat HDR images turn out both ways, and I can say the ones that turn out well with one technique often look like hell with the other. Realizing that, I've learned what to look for when looking at a scene and trying to determine it's "HDR worthiness." I've also learned that, more often than not, I'm completely wrong about what I thought would make a good HDR. I sometimes benefit from "happy mistakes."
My personal preference, although I've turned out a fair degree of decent HDR in both types I described above, are the types of images that are HDR, but aren't very obvious.

Ditto. I like HDR when it makes a photo "pop" without immediately screaming HDR.
I was just contacted by the District Weekly and they are gonna use two of my photos in their Best of Long Beach issue. One of the lighthouse and one of the ferris wheel all blurred out. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rinkrat/2481816027/in/set-72157603616828335/
They are including a bio too i think.
I hope it gots through, it's been one of my personal goals to get a photo published in the District Weekly.

Wow, you guys are getting published all over the place. Congratulations!
(I've gotta get off my lazy butt and take some photos.)
I sent her another photo to consider (the sailor statue) and she sent back a response like "I love this photo YOU'RE GREAT" and asked me if I would mind doing random assignments for the District Weekly.
This is so cool because one of my personal goals was to get a photo in the District Weekly and one of my dreams was to actually get some work there. it looks like it might come true if everything goes well!
