4th place - +Sheet Sailing-Shirley
by Shirley Haden

I have 2 shots of failed attempts, but loads of laughter I put in the originals gallery. Pretty funny watching them fighting with the wind against this sheet. When I first saw them they were walking across the road to get to this side, and the fitted sheet was over the one boys head with the elastic holding it in place as the wind blew it straight out like a flag. It was hilarious, I was driving on the road and went off on a dirt side road and turned around to watch the sheet sailing!

Chris, it sure is! My 50-200mm in out of action at the moment. I'm always glad that I hung onto that 40-150mm kit lens I got with my E-300. It's not as nice as the other lens of course! But, that being said, it is way faster at locking focus than the 50-200mm so it was a great birding lens, if only it were longer. I don't think putting it on the new body has hurt it at all either! :o)

That 150 mm is working overtime, with Weber and now with kite. Is it that good?
Nice catch.
