Davis-Monthan AFB 1:3

Postby BAW0343 » Tue Jul 18, 2006 12:52 am

Went out to DMAFB on thursday with a friend that has moved away scince, and I used my new camera to get what i thought were some good shots of military traffic. I also planned on getting over to KTUS but we decided to go to the mall instead   ;D ;)

Sign outside the fence:

Camera focused on the fence but i still like the picture.

That would have been a nice photo. Now you know one of the main disadvantages of these electronic viewfinders. You'll find a way over it.

PS. You could possibly rescue it with a little careful cropping. Make it look intentional. Here's an example. Starting from the original would obviously give you better quality than this.

If it's worth posting it's worth spending a little time on. That example took me all of 1 minute in IrfanView.

Just a little tip. You're not forced to take my advice. ;)
