Chrise- Nice work! Looks like fun. Remember- Safety glasses save eyes.

I would guess a digital SLR and a lens with a wide aperture. Something like the Nikon D40 with a 50mm lens set at f 1.8

I have a Nikon D80 and this was with my Nikon 50mm f1.8D lens. Pretty much my everyday walk around setup, the 50mm 1.8D is great for low light or minimal light photography, plus the lens takes very sharp photos.

As far as the pictures it's just like the gun, lots of practice and a lot of Flickr.com and internet lurking on different sites to learn more. Once you get the camera settings down then it's all composition and lighting and that's my primary focus right now with my pictures.

Pretty darn close on the camera :) It's a D80 and a few months ago I bought a barely used D70 from a friend just to have as a backup (plus I got it for a steal of a price).

+1 on the Ken Rockwell site he has very straightforward reviews.

Also checkout the flickr.com groups pages. There's a ton of groups for different camera ect. and alot of good discussions in there with good info.

In most of those pictures the DOF is a little wide to be a 1.8

Blah, nikon lovers.

What 1911 is that?

Yea, makes sense. I realized the D40 doesn't have the in-camera focus motor to run the F1.8 AF-D.

I have a D50 with more than 50,000 shots in the past few years. I love this digital stuff. It really works.

Have you ever served in the military?

Once upon a time, we were doing a shoot at Stone Bay, NC (USMC) and it was 28 degrees at 4pm. That was the warmest it got. We were there for 13 hours. When we returned to the barracks (they tried to march us back, but the SSGT quickly turned it into a double time...), our Camelbaks were frozen solid, and the drinking straws were frozen in the "over-the-shoulder" position.

It was thanks to our Corpsmen who finally got hold of their Master Chief after 2 Marines fell out due to hypothermia. The Master Chief gave our CO a very serious (and public) "talking to".

That. Sucked. Very. Badly.

I would have appreciated getting shot for the warmth of the wound...

Anyhoo, carry on!
