Shooting Range...

Well as you might have looked at the last few pictures that were posted and saw that they were of guns. I went with a few friends of mine today to the range and i brought my camera (Sony a200)

They took a complete assortment of guns and pistols. We did not get to fire and of the big guns, only the pistols and that was fine. We do plan to go back at a latter date when the main firing range is open.

I learned that it is really hard to capture pictures like i did in the bright day and i got lucky on what i was able to capture. I have had no formal training with my camera and i love to try anything that i can with it, having said that i was really lucky! The milk carton exploding like it does on several photos is really cool and i see that the camera is fast enough to get it. The only thing was that it did not like the blast from the gun. I would be shooting and when the boom hit it would stop shooting. Very Strange!

I guess that you live and learn. It was really nice of my friends to take me and let me shoot pictures as well as their pistols. We had a good time!

I was standing near the shooter and i was able to get a little muzzle flash!!! 45Mag FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) bluets. This was pure luck to be able to capture this flash from the pistol. I am very greatful for my friends letting me go to the shooting range and do this with them.

This was a 45Mag with Hollow point bullets. We walked with 15 feet of the target on this shot. I was lucky to get this photo as it turned out to be very good. The hollow-points made more destruction than did the full metal jacketed bullets.

Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/800)

Good Shot!

Comcast Sucks!!!

The longer that we stay with Comcast, the longer they suck. I know that everyone wants Digital Cable, but come on. why take away all the channels that make you want to get cable in the first place.

These assholes took away 5 channels last week and moved them to Digital cable. They need more bandwidth for the video on demand and the other digital stuff. I had digital cable when we moved to Midlo and the 'video on demand' was ok, but it had old movies. Big Freaking Deal!! Comcast has a strangle hold on the area that we live in and aside from getting Driect TV or some crap like that, i need comcast for the internet at the moment. FIOS will not happen for our neighborhood and DSL sucks. They are a necessary evil for the time being.

Perhaps they will move the rest of the semi watchable channels to digital and then we will have only local stuff to watch...

Who knows?
