Any photographers in here?

I would play if no one looked. It's very friendly and all in good spirit. The practice last night was on the college campus club field so lots of other sports were going on. I wouldn't be able to run with a broom between my legs while other guys played football and ultimate frisbee
 
Finally stepped out of the dark ages of photography, from film to a Rebel T3i. Got a 18-55mm IS and 55-250mm IS lenses to go along with. Also picked up a few colored filters to get different contrasts when I shoot B&W through the camera. Just got it today and took a few practice pictures before I had to leave out for the evening, but here are a few I snapped. Starting with my now retired Vivitar film.

I'm going to probably begin posting more on this thread to gain some constructive criticism, so please, even though these were just test shots, give feedback!

A Space Shuttle Over Los Angeles

Explanation: It's not every day that a space shuttle lands at LAX. Although this was a first for the major Los Angeles airport hub, it was a last for the space shuttle Endeavour, as it completed its tour of California skies and landed, albeit atop a 747, for the last time. During its last flight the iconic shuttle and its chase planes were photographed near several of California's own icons including the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Hollywood Sign, and the skyline of Los Angeles. Previously, in May, the space shuttle Enterprise was captured passing behind several of New York City's icons on its way to the Intrepid Sea, Air, & Space Museum. Pictured above, the piggybacking shuttle was snapped on approach last week to LAX as it crossed above and beyond a major Los Angeles street. Now retired, the space shuttles are all museum pieces, with the above shuttle scheduled to be towed along the streets of LA to the California Science Center.
 
oh yeah, it definitely is. look at the sun's position in the bottom part of the photo. Should be over the photographer's left shoulder and either directly overhead or behind him casting light directly on the scene. The planes are backlight from the right and above.
