Default OT:MXunleashed II (or how to use your camera correctly)

Before I go to a big Porsche show and take pics of you all or MS our photogenic Team Mom, I thought I would practice some more on the moving objects that are me and my kids. And I thought even though I have a hernia-- that a couple of laps on the Honda couldnt hurt. As I sit here and type, I realize I was wrong DEAD WRONG! OUCH! But the Vicodin should kick in soon. So here is my 14 year old Ryan warming up my bike for the main act. So Carlos, MS, and Steve OFE feel free to criticize my photos

First off I notice the camera works much better in fully auto mode in sports mode, here is the 9 year old Sean getting into the act:

Now that my bike is warmed up I go for it but I notice the poor bike just cant get as much air with a 200lb (rider +gear) as it can with a 130 lb rider (kid+gear)

Then I asked Ryan how to ride a wheelie because the only time I can ride a wheelie is at the start of a race which is exactly when you DONT want to ride a wheelie!

Pics are great OG.

How much fun to be out there with your boys, displaying (pretty well, I might add) what you taught them.

I think you are ready to take other pictures. Great job.

Then it was time for Roy and Trigger to go home! ( I think I am trigger because my wife keeps upping my life insurance and I think I am next to get stuffed!!)

Paul,

Great pictures. What kind of camera? You guys really need to move away from that overcrowding out there. Way too many tumbleweeds!

Toby, the Canon Digital Rebel EOS DSLR camera.
Pretty nice setup with changable lenses. Instant shutter reaction
as opposed to my Sony DSC 75's "oh I'll snap whenever I feel like it. and then I'll let you know" digital camera.

Bend over Old Guy.....

I'm not the team Mom...... That is Patricia. I'm Mother Superior remember?? I think the Vicodin is kicking in and you are not thinking straight. Do you also remember that I wield a mean Hot Wheels track? Now you not only have me mad at you, but Patricia also, and she lives a whole lot closer to you than I do. I can have her deliver your spankings if you'd like... IN PERSON....



MS JoAnne

BTW: GREAT SHOTS!!!!! More comments later (PM)....
