  • My dream...

    I think at Reno this year, I'm only going to attempt to get ONE SHOT...and one shot only. And if I get it, it will truly be legendary.

    Thanks to a comment on one of these threads a couple days ago, I think I'm going to go buy a handful of disposable cameras. Not even the 'expensive' Kodak or Fuji ones...but the cheap drugstore generic kind.

    Then I'm going to get Neal, Vic, Tim, and a bunch of the other guys who think that 'size matters' when it comes to camera lenses....and I'm going to line them up out at pylon 8, give them each a disposable, and make them shoot an entire race JUST with that camera. And while they're doing that, I'm going to take a picture of the great photogs using these cameras...hopefully include them, the cameras, a pylon, and at least two planes in the frame.

    It'll be an instand classic.

    And then we should have a 'photo contest' amongst everyone who had the disposables....scan and post them on AAFO for the masses to judge.

    And the world will be better for this
    That one man, scorned and covered with scars
    Still strove with his last ounce of courage
    To reach the unreachable star


    good luck Speedy!

      Yes, wasn't Andy Williams wonderful? And I always loved those great pastel golf sweaters he wore on his show. Reminded me of "Champagne" Tony Lema when he won his only Masters Cham......

Or we could just hand them one at the start of the event and say they have just the 24 or so shots on that camera to capture any/all shots they think are worthy. That addresses the issue of getting them all at a single photo point.

        Let's do it !!!!

        That would be a fun CONTEST. Kind of like the "photo a day" concept. Kind of explains why I quit doing it, too.

          Wasn't it "The Little Drummer Boy"? I kind of remember Bowie going "parum pum pum pum" alot.... or maybe it was a juxtposition of the two songs.

              I thought that was David Bowie and Bing Crosby?
              Not all their shots with the disposables, we'd miss all the great stuff they show us. Would'nt it be neat tho to have a contest to see who took the best shot with one of those? 24 shots each and best by poll wins!
              What for a prize?

                  Speed,

                  This is like giving Tiger Woods a broom for a putter, and expecting him to be on par with the rest of the field. He still will kick your *ss

                  Giving those guys cheapo cameras is just going to piss us mere mortals off, I just bought a D200, last thing I need is to see Vic and Neal dueling it out with those and getting better results. I am still in the mode of did I make the right choice, should I have bought a Canon, no wait, its not the equip its the photog.

                            How about the ultimate upgrade to a disposable camera!



                            With shutter speeds at 1/200, we'll see what kind of prop blurs are possible
