Thanks Leanne, They had a bag for me ready, LOL. You know looking in a viewfinder at the ground while the plane rocks violently because of turbulance is not good for your equallibream! #123135Danny Englander May 26, 2019

Yea Id say it was, Got some good pics out of it. They say you pay a price for everything. A good image I think requires you to pay a price, weather it be mental or physical? It didnt help though that my friend had taken controls of the plane and was trying to bring us DOWN! LOL, that basterd! It was an expericnce as well. So Dan whats your story, your good at photoediting, you a graphic designer, or an Art major? #125132Danny Englander May 26, 2019
Matthew:I still have it and it’s in perfect mint condition. I use it once and a while for InfraRed as it does not have a film window on the back.
I got a computer in 1994 and started playing around with scanning pics and Photoshop. Since 1996, I have been a Web Developer / Designer and still going strong with a freelance/contract business. I still make a lot of time to do photography with my new Canon A70 which is awesome!!. -- dan

Cool Dan, sounds like you know what your doing, your gallery definantly shows that. Id love to get into web design but I am so darn busy with photoediting stuff since it has to do with work, that I havent. Tell me, whats the easist web design program for a newbie to get thier feet wet in? Go live? Dreamweaver? Thanks for checking out my gallery. Laters........ #125336Danny Englander May 26, 2019
Matthew: Dreamweaver MX is my tool of choice. I have been using it since version 1 and the technology with the new MX version is amazing. You can download a 30 day full working trial from macromedia.com, Mac or PC versions. I would suggest that you have a high speed connection if possible for the download.What type of photoediting do you do or what type of company is it for? -- dan #125443

I am a night-time production manager at the Roswell Daily record, I shoot spot news, feature, and portraits as well for the RDR. I design feature packages, as well as section fronts. Its cool, but nothing is as cool as hard news photography, fires, hostage situations, insane wrecks, you name it. Exciting stuff to say the least. Ive almost been thrown in jail even! I pissed of a cop, because I tainted his crime scene, didnt mean to. Anyway thats what I do, .....MattPS I am going to get dreamweaver as soon as I can, I will hit you up for tips cool? #133915
