Seriously, I was more apprehensive getting this shot than anything else that I can remember. At no more than 5' directly above my head, I knew I had only a split second to dodge anything coming my way.

Is hazardous pay included with this project?

Hey Loupey,
I'm sure that guy didn't wait too long for you to compose the shot. Great capture.
Tim

[QUOTE=Alison]A closer look at the Gull.

Great expression Alison! And, nice sharp focus.

Well not a lot else you can do through eau Rouge/Radillon.
Yes, the lap was red-flagged for an incident.
Ardennes = forest + rain = slippery track

I suppose I should show the scale of the hill

just down the road from the front door

Looked up and all the way around for this one. (360 panoramic)

A few of the kids from my daughter's water polo team. I'm on the bottom of the pool in SCUBA gear with my Sea & Sea 750G point and shoot.

I really like that pic Michael!

lovely clear sky and shades of blue

Now that is dedication to the project !

And an interesting view for the sports forum, too - do you have any pictures of them during a match from underwater, or even better with the water bisecting the frame ?

Look up is working for me this month. I broke my leg getting hit on the football field two weeks ago. I can't walk for 6 weeks. <sigh> Yesterday was the perfect photo shoot. I shot all of my photos sitting or laying on the ground. This was a special shoot for our Senior boys.

The most beautiful bald eagle flew above us right b4 the shoot. Too bad I had my 15mm fisheye on my camera.

Thanks JETA and Paul. The shutter lag is way to slow to get any decent action shots, pretty much a hit and miss operation. I did spend some time in goal going for the half in and half out shot and only succeeded in taking one to many shots to the head. I am going to be doing this set up for our Boys and Girls Varsity water polo teams for their yearbook and promotional shots. Our Girls team hasn't lost a game in the last 7 years and has won the state championships for all of them also.

My humble entry.

last minute entry ;)

OK, everybody meet my nephew and neice Jonathan Frankenfurter and Rachel McGakle (their alias').

No, Jonathan and Rachel are not really small, I just forgot to upload the photo. They are worth the wait...

I think I finally got it right. Must be Halloween gremlins

18 minutes to go, I nearly forgot about these !

Getting under the wire with one from this afternoon.
