The absolute highlight of the night for me - Carlos Varela, straight from Havana. A little taste from home, and an amazing performance.

After the show I dropped in on some friends from Quebec for a bit of jamming and more than a bit of alcohol.

Myself on a friend's bass:

Lovely percussionists:

Finally decided to tread myself and buy me a new digi cam. I come from a HP (godknewswhatmodelfromwhatyear)...

After some guides from my local shop, i went for the Nikon D40x with the 18-55 and 55-200 lens (kit).

Still very new and noob, but at least managed to take some shot today.

Let the learning begin .

(not sure what the max. allowed number of pics are....)

I think it's 6 per post.

Really good looking images especially the first one!

@AimPoint:

The first pic was soo cool!

Pic of my (selfmade) custom bass:

Lot of crap pics i guess, but learning. So any advice is welcome...

PS: As i'm more into macro shooting, i'm wondering if it would be worth the money to purchase me a good macro lens. Forgot to write down the info the shop gave me, but prices where around +600€ for one of Nikon itself or maybe it was +-900€ for the Nikon instead of the sigma .

i love the pics!

especially the first 3-4 ones are great

really good job..

and yes, if you like macro photo you should defenitly buy a proper macro lens...

for a Nikon camera Nikkor lenses are always best, but if you just cant afford one or cant wait a while until you can you can always buy a different brand, just make sure that the lens has the correct mounting so that it fits your Nikon

personally i love animal and "action" (sports) photography so im currently looking for a really nice telezoom or superzoom lens...

or maybe a converter for my current Sigma 70-300 APO

the alternatives for a converter is the Sigma 50-500 (Bigma) or something similar...

anyone got a tip? (yes, i use a Nikon too)

Dasquade, excellent shots - especially for a "nooby"! I think they look very professional.

Sniper, Amazing shots! very good atmosphere and technically brilliant!

Is no-one going comment on mine? I thought they were ok.

Awesome pics everyone. Especialy you sniper... Well done! Ranger Bob I cant find your pics to comment?

I have spent 6 days of last week at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford in the UK (Sniper looks like you took some good pics mate). I was there for three arrival days, 2 public days and 1 departure day... Bloody awesome week!

Instead of making the pics very lo-res to fit on this board, I am going to try this clickable thumbnail thing... What do you guys think?

To see more of my images from this air show go here:

Enjoy!

Edit... Na cant get it to work... I will just do it the old way yes?

@RangerBob: Since i'm noob, don't expect any professional comment beside 'great-crispy' pics etc. But some very good ones between them. Good inspiration for me, as i see i need to work on my lighting more i suppose witch are perfect in yours....

Some for all (or 99%) of the others pics. Keep it up.

@Killagree: Personally i prefure thumbnails here (but that is me beeing lazy to surf...).

If not mistaken you need to use the following code to make the thumbnail + link working:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">http://www.url-of-your-low-res-pic.jpg[/img]

Hope it works...

Anyway, although i love your dreamy beach and other pics (wish i had that kind of scenery nearby to shoot), i can dig some airshow pics. Some very good ones between them.

Cool pics killagee, whats weird is that some of my shots look the same as yours.

I'll post some more up when I get a chance to edit them.
