Avon descent
Posted on August 2, 2007 - Filed Under Personal
this weekend is the Avon Descent weekend
a race down the Avon and Swan River (its the same river, but changes its name for some reason)
about 134 kilometres, some of whichis white water
you can use a power boat or paddle a boat
last weekend i went to some rapids not far from where i live, Bells rapids
there were a few guys in paddle craft honing their skills in the rapids
plus some guys whom it seems go to play in the rapids just for thefun of it
anyway it was a good excuse to take photos and hone my skills at moving subjects in bad lighting (it was a rainy day) although i did enjoy it enough to go both Saturday and Sunday 
Sunday i only took my Haminex 400 mm screw mount lens and was surprised at the images it turned out
the photos (some at least) are on my site
the real photos are here

John and Barb have been having cultural exchanges over tea for nearly 10 years. Now they're going public. :)
Those are awesome photos, and I think that lens served you very well!
I hope someo of the participants get to see their pictures!
