Vacation Sports....

[donmash]

I was on vacation last week and deceided to try and shoot the kids tubing, so this won't classify as real sports, but what the heck a little fun never seems to hurt.

Just to let you know some of the photos were shot in the rain and the others in the sun, if you are wondering why the major difference in the final shots.

Feel free to pass along C/C as the learning curve is long and I haven't found the yellow brick road, yet.

Here are a few more....this will allow more opportunity for the C/C that I need.

I should point out that it is extremely tough to shoot in a bouncing boat and this was my first attempt.:thumbsup:

what settings were you shooting at? If you give me a few details about your settings I'll be willing to share mine that I have found to create pretty good watersport images.

Nice to see you back Don, nice job on these shots too. Looks like you have had a fun summer, with and without the camera.
