Hi folks,
The
recent rains have kept me indoor and allowed me
the
chance to collate more of my photos.
I
have talked often of the school nearby.
You
are most welcomed to my folder
Tinkerbell
at nearby school
The
photos are taken with my Olympus E-100RS, a semi
SLR
digital camera much dropped, watered and abused by
me.
It still provide me with good shoots even though
there
are cameras with mega pixels. My wife takes
most
of the shots but I positioned and direct the
angle.
All good shots are to her credit, anything
idiotic
is immediately owned up to by moi.
The
first few photos show the school from my window
and
apartment rooftop. Then you get a series of
sequential
shots at the front of the school.
I
mentioned before that I fly Tinkerbell from the
staircase
to the basement. This is a sequence she is
extremely
fond of. I can see her trembling away with
control
for my cue to "come to daddy!" for her to fly
to
me.
Then
you see the series of shots over what I call the
amphitheatre.
As
I like to give her variety, we normally then move
on
to the flight to the field.
You
see yet again another shot of staircase to
basement.
The light was not good and the distance too
great.
But the end sequence was a gyrodrop. We never
got
that when we positioned ourselves for that. When
we
get to take that, she was just a smear of grey to
the
camera. To me on the spot, that was just a
marvellous
sight. (for gyrodrop see URL below)

She
always vary her landings, from direct to shoulder,
to
spirally down , to gyro dropping or a zig and zag
to
amuse herself as in last sequence. But memory of
camera
ran out so the ending is partial only but
enough
for you to see.
Got
to end now as Tink is raising a ruckus in her cage
for
being locked there for 2 hours. Otherwise she will
fly
to me and attack my mouse and chew on my keyboard

warmest regards
