Fire

My son and a few other scouts earned their Arrow of Light for cub scouts. The pack hired a long time scouter, Clay Crowley, to perform the ceremony. The highlight is when asked if the boys have done their best, all the boys say, "Yes!", well some are not that sure. In order to prove their honesty, Clay takes their neckerchief and places in eagle's blood, then lights the neckerchief on fire. If the neckerchief burns, the boys have lied, or if the neckerchief survives the fire, they have told the truth.

I shot some with a flash, which doesn't capture the mood of the fire being the sole light in the room. The best one was with the lights and flash off. Shot at 3200 ISO f4.8 1/25, noise came through, but I don't mind.

Pheasant Hunt

Today my college friend Charles (friends call him Chuck, not Dr. Wall) and I, along with his father Ed, went out to Wasatch Wing & Clay for some pheasants and chukkar. We had a great hunt with Rick Clayton as our guide. We would all like to thank Rick for a wonderful November afternoon.

I had some of my paintball game photographs published in Paintball Sports Magazine. Follow the link below to the online version of the magazine:

Looking at it for the first time last night it appears I have about 15 pictures in the issue, including a good size one on pages 3 and 4. There is a lot in the story about the SPPL on pages 24 through 32. About three quarters of all those pictures are mine.

There are also some "snapshots" on page 56 & 57 of which three are mine.
