Thanks so much Helen. When I saw that I had gotten the shot right, my insane squaling must have scared the guys in the van behind meFABULOUS !!!!
Tim thank you!!!Great snag Lili! Very cool car. You'd look great in it!
What a great picture of a beautiful car!
That is a very difficult shot to have got right! Do you find that you are getting better at this sort of picture with all the practice you get using the GRD this way?
I do traditional English war bow archery and we don't line up on the target using sights or even part of the bow or arrow. You just look where you want the arrow to go, and with enough practice you can get very accurate. It is a bit like a cricket or baseball player throwing a ball. I presume that as we use our cameras in snap mode we gradually get better at getting the shots, the camera effectively becomes part of us and we no longer need to consciously work out where to point it or when to press the shutter.
My son took this one. Excuse the strain on my face, it is a heavy warbow and it was the end of an all day shoot.
Wow, that is so very very cool.Well Lili who would have thought it, two of use in this forum shooting in bows! Yes you are right, it is a Mary Rose mediaeval style warbow pulling about 80lbs at 32inches (I'm working my way up to heavier bows but it takes a while for the tendons and ligaments to adapt to the strain) In the picture I'm about to loose a standard war arrow in the flight section of the annual Mary Rose warbow championships. I only managed 194 yards since the standard war arrow is quite heavy and needs a heavier bow really. I did 248yards with a lighter flight arrow the same afternoon.
Thank you Will that was one of my first shots with the GRD.Looks like a lovely bow Lili, and I see you have Hugh Soars' book, he was at the same shoot last summer!
What sort of shooting do you do, field target? (left handed?)
Erick, thank you. The Nissan lurking; that was more a matter of necessity that planning on my part, I had to rush to get to the only gap in the left lane traffic to catch this.Lil,
love those shots! I have to say the back of the Jap car sticking out in a "shy mode" in your first shot is almost like a joke to my eye..
Cheers!
Isn't that pimpmobile a Mercury from the early 1960s? And the pickup is definitely a 1959 Ford. Ford came a few years late to tailfins, but they had their share.I saw this car coming from a long way off, there was just one place where I could get a clear shot.
