I love the Sky, the red lights on the bridge, and the purple and blue lights in the lower quarter.

This shot makes me wish I could get out on my bike more... But... it's too dark, too wet, and well to be honest I'm too dam lazy right now
For some reason this shot remindes me of the Ramones... does he date Sheeena
This shot says Winter in the City to me.
Burr! So still and quite...
For what it is worth springing for the Flickr Pro account has worked our quite well for me. If you use Lightroom 3, publishing images to the web is drop dead simple, and it makes posting images here on the forum a snap for me, thanks to Dale's handy instructions!
Something about this pic makes me smile. Maybe its the colour and vitality and framing. Or maybe it's the fact that I'm still snowed in. Or, who knows, maybe it's listening to the cricket through the night as England pile on the runs...
Typical pom... rubbing it in politely

That is one of my favourite photos I took in recent times for the feeling of movement and vivid colour.
PDXFlint: Photo #29 is a great one!
My Lord this is amazing.
I just bought a Canon T2i, have never used a DSLR before. Learning the ropes!

Another exceptional panning shot... indeed full of movement and color. It would make a great desktop wallpaper. I'm definitely looking forward to more of your aircraft shots, they're that good. Only question I have: do you run into any problems with authorities when shooting airport locations and aircraft with a long lens? I'd like to give it a try since there's some great viewing at my closest major airport.
Thanks for the comment on #29. I was going for the textural theme with mud and helmet... that shot was used to create a graphic design for a cyclocross national championship poster.

I have no problems here in Sydney (Australia). The Federal Police are very good around Sydney airport. I've also been airside - so I'm a bit lucky there.
But in the USA, it's hard to tell what you'll run into. I've heard stories about the "rent-a-cops" attempting to seize camera equipment and force deletion of photos (not allowed, as far as I know). If you are questioned and told about post 9/11 security regulations, ask them politely to cite the exact regulations.
It would be best to talk to the media unit of the local airport and see if you can get some sort of pass or letter allowing you to take photos on their property (just to show Police or security guards), or contact a spotting group like NYCAviation who should have lots of info on the USA. You can also join a group like http://www.aviationphotographers.org/ (ISAP) once you get yourself established a bit. Have business cards ready and perhaps some sample prints of what you do, or at least some tear-sheets. That should give you credibility.
What I do find when using long-lenses and exotic camera equipment is that I get stopped by everyone passing by. You can pick the ones with the genuine interest (I have time to talk to them), but you run into a few people who, for want of a better term, creep you out a bit. But that goes with being a photographer and you get used to it and handle those situations as they come along.
I want to go along to the next Red Flag when it happens, a few other people I know have gone and come back with cracking photos - I hope to do the same. (Oh, and satisfy my craving for fast-jets).

Feeding Time
Two days before Christmas, suppertime and grandkids:
Too many people around the table to try to get a lower shooting perspective. Plus they were not really in the "let's sit still and pose" mood-if kids this age ever are!

I finally got a chance to really put my new 430 EX II Speedlight through its paces at my family Christmas party. I think with a bit of practice, I could really get used to its results. Here is one of my young cousins. He was definitely the most photogenic of the bunch. Always had a smile on his face
