292/365 - Jim - Wakeboarder Down

( f/4 98mm 1/1000 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

This is Al. See Al wipe out. Splash Al, splash. One of the things I like most about going out on a boat with wakeboarders is photographing the wipe outs. I am not a swimmer, so I wouldn't even attempt it, but it sure is fun to watch them crash. I was hoping to get a bunch of wakeboarding photos this weekend, but with the weather and not having the most experienced wakeboarder out there, I got very few shots. I guess I'll have to try to make it down to the river sometime.

291/365 - Jim - Camping Sunset

( f/3.5 24mm 1/320 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Today it rained quite a lot. When it finally let up for a while, we went out on Kinzua and did some wakeboarding. Not me, I just drove the boat. At sunset it was real nice. This view is about 30 or so feet from our campsites. It's nice because the boat can be tied off right there and is very easily accessible. I knew I would have a nice shot, but it actually turned out better than I thought.

290/365 - Jim - Fire Sparks

( f/6.3 35mm 1 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

The first night of camping. I was too busy carrying things to the campsite and setting up so I didn't get any decent shots. When I realized this, it was very late and we were just sitting around the fire. So I set my exposure to 1 second and asked if someone would stoke the fire to get all the spark trails.
