I've only looked at B&H. Since I'm not actually buying, I didn't pursue

A friend and I were curious about this picture. Was it taken with
a flash? It looks like a preflash caught the mortar and then a
long exposure caught some of the f
I really like how you caught that shockwave in flame. I've never seen

Kevin, great shots. All look like they should be run through Auto Levels in Photoshop,
though. They look a bit dull, and the *ist D is capable of much better (i.e., brighter
and with better contrast).

Hello Kevin,
Thanks for sharing. You got some great shots! BUT, they don't make

If you are looking for lightweight lenses for the *istD, the Sigma
digital twins are a great way to go. 18-50 and 55-200 provide great

Love the mortar shot! Nice exposure and timing. The series is a nice
little document.
The parachutist pic has a pretty good composition, however, if you could
have gotten some movement in the plane's propellers, the photo may have had
some more realism and impact.

How did you manage to capture "the decisive moment"?
I'd love to see more of these photos.
