While not near the quality of most of the pics here, it's not every day I get to blow up this much demo at once. Last week in Africa.



Almost 1,000 shotgun shells, few dozen flashbangs, 1,000+ foot of det cord, 153 sticks of C4, 60 some blasting caps, 50 sticks of dynomite, some 5.56, and a few other small munitions.

more please..

[Emilee]

more please..

Ok.. but I've got a lot. Too much to post actually. Lots of videos too, but I haven't edited them down.



1 lb sticks of TNT, getting ready to be tied on a ring main.

My second favorite explosive, next to APOBS. It's the Bangalore torpedoes. This box was dated to the 70's. 5, 5' sections come in a box.



10 connected together, put through this huge thorny bush.



The bush didn't stand a chance.






15lb shape charges. Designed to punch holes thru anything. The 40 pounders are much better though, obviously.



One of the holes it made in the ground. Then I stuck 4, 40lb cratering charges in each hole.



This was the biggest shot we did. 4 forty pounders, each with a stick of C4 for a kicker.



Claymores.



Sighted in.



Yeah, he's dead.

[Emilee]

Got a little bored. Just for the record, this isn't a good idea. Those are each blasting caps, and pretty sensitive.



One of the MANY scorpions we killed. This one was actually shooting venom at us.

[GravY]

cool stuff..

F that scorpion.

Went camping last night, rough road getting there, drove 11 miles in an hour on un-maintanced forestry roads climbing almost 3000 feet.






Edit: taken with Iphone and VSCOCAM, and panoramic app i forget the name for

[TRD Supra]

Awesome shots!

[Pornstar Yard Gnom]

Awesome shots!

thanks, I can't figure out how to get the panoramics off my phone so they are larger :/

Guys Im looking for a zoom lens for my D5100. What do you guys suggest? Id like to get a decent lens for around $400.

70-200 f/2.8... Worth every penny

70-200 f/2.8... Worth every penny

Any specific lens...looking at prices its more than the budget I set. Got to remember my camera doesnt have a motor in it so I need lens with them built in.

You can't buy one of those in your budget but the canon equivalent lens is the one I took all those racing photos with.

Pretty sure the Nikon one is in the $1500 range. My 70-200 f2.8l was around 1800 iirc.

By zoom I assume you mean telephoto?
I think there's a Nikon 28-300 or something along those lines. You aren't going to find a motorized zoom on a dslr. That 28-300 or whatever one it is probably is closer to your budget but when you have a lens that covers such a WIDE range of focal lengths it's not great at any of them.

A better but more costly option is to pick some fixed lenses that will cover a good range of uses, you get a much better lens however it is a little more labor intensive.

Luckily Nikon makes some of the best budget primes of anyone out there.

Fixed lenses not going to happen as I wont be able to carry around oodles of lenses for the right situation. I guess I am going to have to settle for a decent to mediocre lens as 1800 is way out of budget for a secondary hobby.

Maybe I should try and hit craigslist for lenses? Is it a good idea to buy them secondhand or just stay away?

[**G.I.BRO**]

Ebay or other such sites are just fine, just try to get details on how reliable the buyer is. Ive sold/bought lenses through ebay and kijiji just fine. As for lenses, some of the Tamron's and Sigma's are a great alternative, the 70-300 isnt all that bad. Its not no 70-200 2.8 but given enough light it can provide good performance.

[**G.I.BRO**]

Finally got some time to go about walking down town, just been so busy this summer this is probably the first time i went on an personal joy walk.

Taken downtown Toronto at the Harbour Front. Most shots were taken with the kit 18-55 & (and my 35mm 1.8) as i was letting my friend try out some of my lenses. You know, for the kit lens it aint all that bad. Just need to work harder to get great bokeh shots. I can see the lack of sharpness and such, but i thought it would be a lot worse.

[compunoob]

KAC I really like the 4th pic above and the hotel pic. Well done my man =)

1500...

[_TiTaNiuM]

1500...

To be fair, you don't know the condition of his D700.

[Osirus]

it was dropped on the top.
popup flash no longer works, there is some small cracks in the casing
everything else works fine.
been using it like that for over a year.
i do have a new popup flash, just needs to be installed

if your serious id do 1500 to you first.
but i need to know asap lol as i was just about to txt the other guy back, as i have to ship it out by today to him, he needs it asap lol

[KAC]

A little play on image blur and glass reflection...




Following shots are surprisingly well done given I was travelling in a bumpy horse cart at 30 KPH... liking the camera thus far...
Only 8 million euros...








Somebody is pooping in the wrong place...

[KAC]

Panoramic to round this off...

Fair enough, 900$

I just always take care of my stuff and it is not wise
to assume this of everyone...

[Osirus]

I sold it yesterday for $1100.00

I take care of it, its just gravity got the best of me one day

now..
do i put the 1100 down on my new car in a week or two, or..
do i sell my 80-200 2.8 and use that and the 1100 to get a 70-200 2.8.. lolol

[KAC]

[Tyr-Sog]

Thinking about offing a bunch of my gear and getting in to astrophotography. Meades new LX600(and even the LX80) line up looks interesting and affordable.
