    If I had a camera like that I could have counted the split ends on her pubic hair! lmfao. Honestly tho, the camera on my phone kinda sucks, and kinda hard to be a ninja with family around. lol. That was the best resolution I had available. I was at my daughter's high school graduation at Ft Walton Beach, FL. The family went to the beach and rented some wave runners. I don't have all of the photos/videos from that yet. Then we ate at a place called "The Dock" and damn they had great food and the view, as you can see, was spectacular. After that we went swimming some more, then went to her graduation. She got a Bright Futures Medallion Scholarships and will be starting her college classes this fall. The ceremony was great. All the kids were enjoying themselves and having fun. Of course there were about 20 beach balls (which the faculty promptly took up as soon as they could) and all sorts of hilarity. It was great!!

    CONGRATS TO MY DAUGHTER! I AM SOOOO PROUD OF YOU!

    A little Eye candy on the beach was nice! I didn't catch this on camera, but was pleasantly surprised to find out that these two were gf/gf after I noticed hand holding and caressing each others faces as they talked. Very sexy.

    After the fun on the beach and the waverunner rentals we all headed home and got ready for my youngest daughter's graduation. I couldn't be a prouder dad of my two girls!

    Had to get the goofy face with one of her friends. I hate that my camera phone can't take good pictures, but we also had a big digital SLR also, so I do have better pictures that I will have later of her.

    If it had a 6" lift and multiple blacked out parts of the truck, i'd say it sounded like Kurts old truck.

    Post a pic of your truck man. I'm all over central Alabama and constantly seeing Taco's that don't appear to be members here.

    It had blacked out tail lights and third brake light, but didn't look anywhere near 6" of lift....(appeared a little over stock from what I could tell)

    I'll get some pics up soon. Have only had the truck for about 1.5 months so its in the beginning stages.....

    Nice, he shoot sports or birds professionally or do surveillance work? I've thought about renting one for shits and giggles, but even to rent one it's about $300. If I were getting paid to shoot out at Barber Motorsports Park I'd do it in a heartbeat, though depending on shooting location 600mm would even be a little long, 400mm and carrying a 1.7x teleconverter for flexibility might be a better bet.

    The one I posted is a Nikon AF-S 600mm F/4 VR ED with their new "Nano coating." It's about $10k. The other hotness in that price range is usually the 400mm f/2.8, and 500mm f/4.

    And teleconverters are usually worthless in the long run (at least in my dad's opinion, as well as most others). I stick with my little 35, 55-200, and 70-300. All are incredible for their cost. You can't beat the 55-200 as far as size and weight go.

    Yeah, in general I agree. The light loss vs. cropping (given the resolution of modern sensors) is usually enough to get you there. Even if native sensor res doesn't, cropping and using something like OnOne's Perfect Resize (Formerly Genuine Fractals) to up-res it will get you there no problem.

    Does he have any of his stuff on the web?

    Here's one I shot of a friend's dog last night that I kinda liked.
