Did the guy with the broke XD get to finish the class?

TFin04 · 10-15-2009

Yes he was just having feeding issues. He got to practice malf clearing more than the others is all.

I want to know more about why supertucks suck. they are extremely similar to all other popular IWB leather kydex blend holsters. and is the problem an easy fix?

Tom,

I LOVE Your photographs.

As a former shutter-bug... Seriously. I love them. I'd like to know your set-up...and your choice of aperature (I presume that you shoot in Aperature Priority mode?)

And I NEED to take a class like this. Badly.

Thanks dude, I am still pretty new to photography, my camera is less than a year old. It's a Nikon D90 and I use either a 18-105 F3.5/5.6 lens or a 50mm f1.8 prime.

A lot of my recent work has been in AP mode, yes. I dink around with a few other settings but nothing too crazy. I use program mode a lot if the weather and/or dynamics of the action are changing quickly on me. It doesn't produce the bokeh effect that AP will but the shots are usually crisp.

Very little post processing is done, just a quick colors adjustment and sometimes slight sharpening, resize, add my website and host to my Flickr page. Still learning as I go but glad to hear you like them. There is some other work on www.tomfineis.com that isn't all firearm related if you want to check it out. Some of it is mediocre and some of it I am proud of.

I'm currently trying to find a new style or approach to shooting gun classes. It gets boring for me taking what amounts to the same shots over and over again, just with different subjects. The students usually like to see pics of themselves so I'm trying to incorporate it all together.

Try taking a tall ladder with you to get some more varied angles.

Or try standing in between the target stands.
