From a picnic today. This boy was on the winning team for egg toss. They had them back up and do one more. :D268975071_gScH9-L.jpg

    Wow, great timing catch. Did you shoot a burst?

    that's great! all the flying egg white is cool - but I would have loved to see the one just after that when he's realized that he's covered in egg rolleyes1.gif

    Don,
    Yes, I shot a burst. I was hoping that the egg would break and was very happy when I saw the results!! Thanks.

    For Colleen
    Ok, here are a few after that shot. He was a great sport about the whole thing! It will make great shots for my slide show next year for them!

    What a phenomenal shot! I love how you froze the action. All the yolk and egg white separating looks so cool! That stream of egg hitting the kids face is just plain funny.
    There's a thin line between genius and stupid.

    the first shot would be 100% more interesting if the yolk flew in his open mouth instead of between his eyes!!

    What a capture!! rolleyes1.gif

    Sheila! Great to hear and see shots from you!! :ivar

    I love the shape of the goop flying at his face in your original shot. It looks almost premeditated by the egg and couldn't be more perfect. :D

    Thanks
    Thanks everyone. I haven't posted in a long time, as I have been too busy with marathons (shooting, not running). It was good to go out a few times and shoot something else! The only thing that would have made this picture better were if it were my own kid! Oh well.
