Photography anyone?

[Roddy]

THANKS all!! I switched between pics and video, catching the finale on vid...but no clue how to get it to youtube even though it's supposed to be a simple upload... :doh: With it being new tech to me, I can't find where I saw I could take stills from the vid, there were some awesome shots to be seen there. As it was, I clicked on the continuous mode and held the shutter button down lol, she snapped every 2 seconds or so.

Not bad, considering I was in a moving kayak on a busy lake... I was almost taken out by a couple of drunken pontooners heading back to dock and not seeing my neon lights shining in front of them, please drink responsibly, especially when boating or driving!!

I'll see if I can find some more good ones, but most are single reports up until the finale which was a very cool 5 minutes of explosions and color...

In Toronto we have a market called Kensington market, it is a very culturally diverse area where almost anything under the sun can be found.

Shaweeeeeeeet....dman..I :heart: that car:aok:

 

[Roddy]

Not sure how they are allowed to leave that car like that, an unlicensed car in a driveway around here is frowned upon! Nice pics Dman!

Here's some stills:



These pictures were taken from the video, I am really impressed with this new camera....

A bit about the fireworks, our lake puts these on yearly, the lake society takes up donations and matches the funds allowing for a big production which draws crowds from all over the area and even Ohio. Our population for the 4th goes up about 5x the norm and stays that way for a few weeks. Previous years you couldn't even get near the boat launch, let alone venture out in a kayak, the economy has lowered the attendance a bit!

Thanks folks,

Roddy its an old neighbourhood where all the homes were turned into stores along time ago, the roads are all closed to traffic, except deliveries.

 

[dman1234]

An area they call the Distillery district, a group of old breweries that were renovated and turned into restaurants and shops.

 

[dman1234]

kool pic's 4u!! way kool kites.
I had a grandson out kite flying awhile back. We had a nice stiff breeze going, but every time the kite would start to go up, gain altitude, it would suddenly start whipping back ;n forth erratically and smash into the dirt. It just wasn't taking flite.
The o'lady was watching from the porch, and pretty soon says "Honey, I think you need more tail."
My astonished reply, "Last night you told me to go fly a kite????" :confused2:

dang women...
