Iowa July 3rd 2005
AstroPax doesn't ever make it to Iowa, but I found a guy with a big
ol' SLR willing to trade pictures for a pull behind the boat. He is a sports photographer (on an internship) for a local paper. Took him skiing and he took some nice pictures. Summertime fun. Some slalom skiing and barefooting. Both use basically the same turning form as with alpine skiing, which is why I love them both so much. http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/slalomjuly22005.jpg Cutting wide on bare feet:: http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble1.jpg And then the tumble: http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble2.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble3.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble4.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble5.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble6.jpg http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/tumble7.jpg We brought this girl with us as well. She was having fun jumping the wakes on jump skis and this is a great shot: http://home.mchsi.com/~uglymoney3/jumper.jpg In sadder news, my old outboard blew a piston. On happier news, I have a 2006 225 Evinrude E-Tec purchased. Take delivery the day after labor day! Sweet, sweet engines. http://www.evinrude.com/en-US/Engine...6.250.225.200/ nate |

Maybe in a couple weeks... ---------------------- Chester A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. |

I like how the water little spray there is in contrast to the next one where I put my feet in. Its actually an old move, with a new camera that lets him machine gun expose pictures for basically free. I only posted about 1 in every 5 shots in the series, and that tumble is very fast. Amazing how many pics these new digi SLR's can snap through. He had a big pack of storage media that he kept flipping through, as he kept filling them up. I was too busy to see what they were, but he will be around all summer so I plan to do some more investigating. The camera was a Cannon I believe, not a Nikon like Mikey and Astro use. nate |
