[LegumeOfTerror]

Nice. What were you shooting? What was going on with the video camera?

Weatherby Vanguard in .30-06 with a 150 gr. Winchester Power Point. we stuck the camera ion the end of the spotting scope to see the target better. the distance was 100 yards.

Any of you folks interested in photography might find this interesting. I did a story on a guy who made a camera out of the back of a box truck.

I feel like a tool posting after myself. I promise I'll stop of this thread doesn't pick up again, but I like seeing what ya'll have to share, and I like showing off what I've been doing recently.

I go to a D3 school, so while sports aren't as huge a deal as they would be at most D1 schools, it gives me a good opportunity to shoot whatever sports I want even though I don't have a ton of experience. Football season's over, but basketball's just getting started!

But shooting basketball is a whole different beast than football. I suddenly miss having that time to set up somewhere new and anticipate what's about to happen between every play, haha.

A couple decent shots from tonight:

[Smoothice]

Went paddleboarding in the morning on Sunday. 3-4 foot surf. Caught a few nice waves.

Then later took the family out. My wife went out with a few friends and loved it.

Then I took my daughter out with me. Made her a paddle her size before we left.

One of the happiest "daddy" moments so far!

I been out of work for the last 6 weeks so paintball been alittle hard to afford without that extra "me time" money coming in.

My luck tho, I bought a brand new ATV a week before my lay off..

On a weekend basis, its alot cheaper than paintball, so for over the last month I been hitting the trails

[DeuceSV]

Yeah, I took the picture (no I wasn't on the controls at the time). This is Sedona, AZ on our way back from the Santa Fe Airshow. I say this is a hobby because lately it seems like I am doing more administration and paperwork and flying has gone to the back burner.

AZ? Where are you located? anywhere near Tucson?

[DeuceSV]

On the other hand, this is what I do on weekends when I'm not slingin' paint!

[Will Wood]

This is what I was doing

And this is what I caught

[Smoothice]

This is what I did today.

May take a while to load...




There were some bigger sets but this was the best wave caught on film...

Water temp: Mid 50's
Air temp: Low 40's

[Frizzle Fry]

Wow, full weekend this time...

Went to doctor (becoming a hobby )

Yearly rebuild of 1978 John Deere snowblower and 1984 Jiffy Ice Auger... Icefishing to follow.

Tore the Corvette transmission apart in the garage, hopefully there won't be snow outside and I can put everything back together soon... Nothing more white trash than an entire Corvette body wrapped in tarps hanging from the beam/skyhook on the side of your garage all winter.

[Shirow]

Same thing I do every weekend Frizzle Fry... try to take over the world.
