My dad got a new flash for his T1i and also a 55 mm fixed portrait lens that really focuses in on one thing and blurs out the background.

Naw, he lets me use it. I will put some pics up on this thread when I get a chance. I got some sweet pictures of my helicopter in the air and some pics of a little train that are really sweet.

I finally went thru the camera and found some worthy pics to post on here. All of these were taken by a Canon Rebel T1i with a fixed 55 mm portrait lens with an external flash. I took all of the pics of the animals and my dad shot the helis (because of course I can't pilot and snap at the same time :lol: . Enjoy! :D

looks like everyone had a great xmas.

i got a chainsaw, digital vernier caliper, and some scales for weighing RC plane stuff (weight saving, helps flight etc)

the little heli's are great.. i also have 4channel ultra micro sized planes for flying in the street :D

i have the T28 trojan and the aerobatic Sukhoi..

if you want to learn to fly, and cheap.. get yourself the J3 cub.. its so easy to fly.
then get about 20 of these batteries at a buck each and you can fly all day

Can't wait to see it!

As for the video, I haven't seen it yet, but I will watch it as soon as I finish typing this response. That's pretty average battery time. Yeah, I can't wait for the next photo comp either.... I think it's coming next month or something.
