Long Beach Police EC-130 shot with my new D40X.....next time ill add .3 to .7 negitive exposure compensation.

Nice little camera , easy to use but a bit small for my hands. 

Very cool

L.A. Sherriffs Have 2 of those H-3 don't they. Nice to see a former military aircraft still flying.

Nice ones John, is that 2nd one the Farmer Market incident? 

You have to maybe lower the resolution when you resize them. Maybe 950 x ?? and keep resolution at say 100 to 200.  Or try that website that Skip recommended.  Mine are 1024x683 at 200DPI

The second photo is from Farmers Market back in '03.

I brought them down to 640x480 and they still were too big. I'll work on it.

A strange (really strange) visitor at Whiteman today.....Hawthorne Polices MD-500E....once owned and still painted in the old Newport Beach scheme. I thought Hawthorne`s program closed down a few years ago. Do any of you guys see it flying around down there ?

[phantomphan1974]

Yeah quite often I see it when driving home down the 405s.   And he flys the small area of Hawthorne.  Great catch.

NG UH-60L Firehawk getting ready for the Fire season.....notice the painted Fire  on the tank...
