i was tempted to go around and look at the front

going into a lake brown and coming out green

i must say we had fun at this, a chair monopod and a few drinks is in order for next year.

Those were some great shots Roy! I wish I could have gone with you. Evidently there was no shortage of willing photo subjects. Looks like you and they had a blast!

 

[Marilynne]

Looks like everyone had a great time. Hope you didn't get any mud on your lens and camera.

 

[Lawrence]

Nice catch up and it sure looked like fun.

 

[Roy1961]

thanks guys, it was fun and i got one splash on my hood, all over my tee shirt though, i dont know how i got some of the shots for laughing, i must say the girls had more fun than the boys, they were more for the competitive side.

here are some i took before the event started.

Rebecca is still using your old Camera Steve @weebee

i saw the flowers moving and snapped, cropped and found this hiding in there

four for the price of one

coming down for a landing at the local airport (small)

 

[weebee]

That looks like a blast! It's great to see Rebecca using the camera too!

 

[Roy1961]

here are some pics from Rebeccas camera, i haven't touched them in any form

[Marilynne]

I like the selfie. Good job Rebecca. You're getting better.

 

[Roy1961]

her pics at the mud run

 

[Roy1961]

well that was her take on it, she seems to struggle abit at the long distance shots, but i am not complaining, i think over all she is doing good?

 

[Roy1961]

i just noticed that Rebecca had her camera in A mode, i had it set for auto, dont know when she changed it?

not a great set today, only took a few

Ryan playing with the ball, a wild flower and i had to pull all the kids away to take a shot of the cake for the parents, they didnt want to move, just wanted to eat the cake.

22nd Sept 2014

dont know what this is, it swooped down and picked something of the ground and took it to the tree, i was frantically trying to take a shot, auto focus wouldnt work, turned the camera off and on, re attached the lens, still nothing, duh i must have clicked the lens to manual. i really need to get into a pre camera set up BEFORE i try to shoot,

a quick look at my raptors of west america guide, i think its a kestrel, i will be keeping an eye on that tree to see if its a nest of just a feeding place.

the last shot is just to show the crop i had to do in shot 2, even at 500mm it was abit away.

 

[Roy1961]

i almost got this, sat for a long time waiting on movement and as soon as i pulled away off he goes

 

[Vixen]

Roy....i really hear you on pre-shoot camera set up. I do the self same thing and leave my camera as I last used it then wonder why my shots are all over the place next time I pick it up

Nice hawk? eagle? shots
