Pinewood Derby Snapshots

[fish]

Yeah, that's right. I was toting a $3000 snapshot camera to my son's cub scout pinewood derby on Saturday. Go ahead...laugh and smirk. No, it's not art, but it was fun anyway.

Note: all but two of the images were shot at ISO1600 with available light on my 20D. :D

Here are some of the snapshots.

My son (Max) is the one holding my old Nikon Coolpix 990.

We had a good time, even though no trophies were brought home. This year, my son did 90% of the work on his car himself and won a 2nd place and two 3rds in the heats, which was his best showing. This was his last year at the pinewood derby, as he will soon earn Arrow of Light, and move on to Boy Scouts.

Thanks for looking.
