I love the telephoto compression in this. Telephoto compression is one of my favorite camera tricks.

This is an old 2009 shot from a Detroit boat festival or something. A flyby kicked off the festivities.

thanks ...
Buddy took it - Crazy thing is we were hauling ass back to the dock LATE! He was in the boat in front of us going as fast as we were!

BTW - we are looking for pilings from the loggers of old which are just UNDER the surface of the water. We bumped into a couple while drifting and fishing, but hitting one at this speed would have been ... baaaad.

There you have it. The answer is blowin' in the wind.

This Jr locomotive is big, and I'll bet it requires a lot of maintenance to use it. The captions, which I copied part of, made it sound like a sales pitch, maybe an auction. No clue from where I found it.

Looks like that camera scans from the bottom.

Gravdigr · 10-27-2015, 05:36 PM

Man, I cannot tell you how hard I was working on just WTF that was.

lumberjim · 10-27-2015, 05:40 PM

xoxoxoBruce · 10-27-2015, 05:43 PM

You mean it's not celery with feet.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-29-2015, 02:52 AM

1969? I'd have hit it.

Gravdigr · 10-29-2015, 10:26 AM

Confession: Me, too.

busterb · 10-29-2015, 06:09 PM

Me 2. In 1969 I was prolly drunk.
