Sorry George, I was just playing.... I was standing right next to him and figured that 20 people would have called me on the BS. You can fix grain and noise well with noise ninja, blur is forever.

It was still pretty funny though! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hook Line and Sinker! :D

I've been using PS since v4 and thought I was missing something for all these years! You guys are good.

Tip #1: Don't pay an exorbitant amount of money to take pictures of something, only to be told what you can and can't do with your photos.
Tip #2: Back up your images!

tip one check
tip two, backing up Oracle flight photos now! :lol: :borat:

2. Everyone takes crap pictures from time to time - but the "good" photographers don't show anyone their crap pictures!

Epic! LOLOL

Only thing I can say is Kenny is right, ton of trial and error. Buy books, read, experiment. Learn how your camera works and use all the settings. Don't let the camera do the work, your the photographer.

I shot over 4,700 pictures over five days surrounding the Jones Beach air show - people will see a couple hundred at most.

I took 17,543 pictures this past airshow and I only have 1 shot that is worth while!
