It's now 11:00, well close enough. Locals determined that it was only Fred, getting his 300mm lens hit with a better beamer from some local idiot's flash. Don't try this at home...

LOL. Glad Fred made it out. I was thinking he decided to stay home because of the weather. Now I know for sure he has it in his blood.

Your fist photo reminded me of this Bird of Paradise mating dance. Starts around six seconds.

Nothing like a funny ending to a highly successful 2011. I have to get me some cold/wet weather gear this year.

Funny stuff Tim
Afriend of mine made his groundpod with an old frying pan.Drilled a hole and put some various spacers made from a wooden sewing bob,costing virtually nothing.His only cost was the ballhead for it.Works great.

Thanks guys. I was surprised at how the flash reflected off of Fred's lens. I'll have to try that again sometime.
