Cool photos bigbird, I have a couple questions, what camera are you using? Also what is up with the color on the 2 elams? At 1st i thought it was just the angle and the sun, but the more i look at it there is a different. Don't get me wrong, they both look awesome, just curious.

Well my camera is a Nikon D70. We had three different Elams all with different colors. All three matched their photos that they had for display. I guess the colors were due to the different camera angles in their respective display photos..

2 of the 3 Elams there were the same color, painted by the same person with the same paint. One was definately a different shade of orange. Also the blue trim was different on it too. They all looked good, but there was a difference.

Are you the one who call us over to show you my boat? My boyfriend was carrying it for me.I'd know he'd talk to sombody down there at the pit area where the paramedics was at. Was that you in the golfcart? Ok at the top of the hill?

Chuck and I had alot of fun, and also got a little wet. I dont know how you had time for those shots as hard as you and the club worked. BUt, they are some great shots, especially considering the light you had to work with. We will be back in the fall. Ken

Big Bird, you always do great stuff. You must have had a wide angle lenze or something. It made me look fat <_<

A camera won't lie. It only sees what it sees. That is one thing I learned as a photographer in the Air Force.
