Your playing a very dangerous game grandpaw!

This proves that you should let HER do the driving… if she ever gets the hang of it
it will be bye-bye D600 for you!

I would be overjoyed if I thought there was even a remote chance of getting her interested in taking pictures. I have tried many times to get her interested so we could go shooting together but it just ain't gonna happen!!!! She supports me 110% and I guess that is just going to have to be good enough.

Thanks, man! Please don't spread my ignorance… let's keep it among ourselves!
And thank you mostly for the non-sarcastic answer! =)

My wife took this picture for me because I had to stop in the middle of the road and it was on her side of the car. She only took one shot and then we had to move due to cars coming. I think she did a pretty good job holding up a D600, battery grip and Nikon 70-200VR F2.8 lens to get this shot.

She sure did do a good job but the guy that landed it did better :D

I spotted this little guy just off the road and got a quick shot before it ran off.

Pat, a truck came by just after the first shot and I was quick enough to frame the get-a-way but not fast enough to get it in focus. I was shooting at 1/320 sec at 200mm and I wasn't expecting any fast movement so between shooting at 200mm and swinging the camera very fast, the setting were just not there to get the shot.

Hey grandpaw,

So, this is where it all came from!

The Romans did eat on their belly… but they adapted the position to horizontal.

Your thing is cuter than any Roman ever was!

Have a good day…

You have to wonder how well eating upside down works when you swallow what you eating.
