I am almost sick just looking at that ride.

When the Ranger realized that the group in front of us got too far ahead, he came over and told us we were playing "too slow" and had to speed it up. I corrected him and told him that we were in fact playing fast and that I was taking pictures which made it seem slow. He was not amused. We were lucky to be able to finish the round.

Great effort Andy. That is a hard shot. I guess timing has to be about perfect. Someone posted one last year I think. I asked him how many times it took him to get the shot, but never heard back.

Maybe we could make a photo shoot at Little Harbor sometime over the winter and try it out. Not as busy then.

andy.. best laid plans and all that but i actually like the last one with the grass and dirt flying...

...maybe you should make it into a poster size for you friend

I know Jann! Geez, I try and I try but I still can't get it right. Hey, I'm happy about the focus anyways. Maybe I will make a poster for him. He really messed up that shot for me. However, with the timing, if he had actually hit the ball, there wouldn't be dirt flying and my action shot sequence would be completely action-less. Oh well. Had to try!

Kyle, maybe we should do that some weekend. I think I'm free in like December! Nah, I 'll see if I have any weekends free. I don't have much in the couple months leading up to our WDW trip though. I got through the first bachelor party (still not feeling quite myself yet), now I have the other one this weekend, then the two weekends of weddings..... I'll get back to you on that.

Just got back from WDW. My DW surprised me with a HUGE birthday present. The Rookie Experience with the Richard Petty Experience at the Walt Disney World Speedway. I took some shots of the instructors before my ride. Here's an example:

Check out the muscles on #98!
