Take an nice photo that makes you smile and post it. Take a photo that others may smile at and post it. Or, just post a photo. It's up to you. Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Rare pierces Posted May 30, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted May 30, 2023 After months of one thing or another, we found ourselves back in the cold to watch Matthew play some hockey. It was a hard-played game and quite exciting. It was also the trial run for the new camera and lens combination which will be used for indoor events like this and of course, the upcoming Alaska trip. There was almost no learning curve since the controls on the new body are virtually identical to the old one and the lens was just a lens after configuring the panning and stabilization settings. The ability of the camera to lock onto a subject and track it is uncanny, as is the ability of the lens to shift focus to keep up with the action. The game was fun to watch and even more fun to shoot. Having the right tool for the job always improves the experience.

Rare TLCOhio Posted June 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Great hockey shot, but what about soccer? See next. Per the below visuals, does it look like we were the UK last weekend? Know where we were really visiting over the Memorial Day holiday period? More in the next post. THANKS! Enjoy!

Rare TLCOhio Posted June 3, 2023 #6 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Here is the "Rest of the Story". Down in the Williamsburg, Virginia, area last weekend for a soccer tournament involving one of our two grandsons. Did we have fun? See below for evidence and picture proof. The UK flags, etc., were from visiting Busch Gardens near the historic Williamsburg area. This entertainment location has a variety of different Europe countries such as Italy, Germany, the UK, etc. Plus, many wild rides!!! I only did one rock 'em, sock 'em, roller-coasting experience. That was the Loch Nest Monster with two up-side-down twists, plus going round-and-round in a dark tunnel. Fun, but a little "intense' for a "seasoned-citizen" like me. Any others having visited historic Williamsburg and/or Busch Gardens? Bring back memories? Our oldest grandson is age 12, but is not taller than my wife and son. He is nearly as tall as me. He's about 6' tall and has his 13th birthday in early October. Amazing how quickly grandchildren grow up, UP!! THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio Norway Coast/Fjords/Arctic Circle cruise from Copenhagen, July 2010, to the top of Europe. Scenic visuals with key tips.

Nice flowers in one of the gardens at Williamsburg.: Here's an example for one of the wild rides I avoided, but were highly enjoyed by our son and two grandsons. Look like they loved it??: Here are a couple of examples for one of our grandsons in action during the soccer game.: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
