Boys and their Toys...

Postby Oz_Beachside on Sun Oct 22, 2006 12:59 am

Hello,
Took the new 18-200VR out today for a few first shots, and 7zark7 put on this show for us with his new toy of the day...

Do you think he should get lessons first...? :wink:

Sports where mother nature is the co driver are the ones i steer clear off.

I purchased a Teddy Bear this morning for the sum of $10. I named him Mohammed. This afternoon I sold him on E-Bay for $30. My question is, "Have I made a prophet?"

Good to get lessons - just for safety precautions.

The first few pics it's mysterious what is happening, then in the last, you see the reason ;) haha :) I'd say a good ordering!

Landscape photography also has nature as co-driver. But it's not a sport, but still can be dangerous - just have to be careful, but even then...

Anyway, back to the topic, toys are fun :D:D

I can understand that. These are incredibly dangerous things, they harness the power of the wind, and you dont hear it coming. I had a go and it picked me up, carried me a few meters before I let go, and had a tumble... frightening... :cry:
