Pappy.. I do ok ?

[Phugg]

OK this is for all of you , but I respect all the pics Pappy has taken . Taken 8/1/08 Stanislaus County Fair ( Turlock CA) With a NON SLR 12 megapixel Cannon G-9 from about 20 yards away through a fence.
I SO miss my old Pentax K1000 with Film , but Man the instant gratis of a Digi is great.

Oh and this is a family friend , finished 2 in Pro 450's , he wasnt pissed , but wasnt happy either.

I would LOVE a real slr but have to pay ,,, hmm Mortage , tutoring, Dang kids quad, Gas , food (for 9yr old and 14 yr old) So Oh plus the other stipulation .. Wifey has to be able to use it !!!! I put up another pic (same corner) of our daughters first race over in the kids quads general sect.

Don't want to burst your bubble or anything, but for $475, you're venturing close to DSLR territory. Nikon D40's are a nice entry-level DSLR. They are very simple for anyone to use on the AUTO mode, so even your wife would have no problems shooting with it.

Here's one with a 18-55mm kit lens for $468 with free shipping.

Just a few more random ones. The one thing I was taught ..... waste all the film you can. It only takes 1 good shot to pay for 20 rolls.

nice picture!! too bad we had to wear those stupid numbers on the helmets.
who took the picture?
and by the way, this is bubba

[Phugg]

The numbers on the helmet make ya go faster , just like all the stickers ... didnt ya know ? Oh and Am should be emailing ALL the pics out today, and she is going out to make some hardcopies too. SHE took the headless one... I did a couple of them too though.
I still have dirt in my hair from that first pic. I got a complete roost shower from taking that one.
