Highcountry was revving up the boat so I could get this shot.....:D

The water was going everywhere but that wasn't nearly as bad as the smoke that almost knocked me in the water....thanks for wasting a few bucks HC.......lol

That's a cool shot, Bam. It looks like a tiny storm in and of itself!

It does look like a storm...tell me you didn't get the camera wet....:eek:

Thanks....nope, I was clean and dry as well as my cam....but that's another reason why the 40d was good for me, it's weather sealed just in case.....lol..:D :D

Just a word of caution....don't trust the weather sealing that much...get some body armour for it if your are really going to be hauling it into some tough places...the weathersealing part in it's features gives folks a false sense of security I think....
straight from Canon:


"...Canon design engineers made the EOS 40D SLR's magnesium alloy exterior even more ruggedly dependable than its predecessors with upgraded dust- and weather-resistant construction, particularly around the camera's connection ports, battery compartment, and single-slot compact flash (CF) memory card door... The 40D does indeed have additional sealing around the CF card door and battery compartment door, but it's a thin foam type seal. It will no doubt keep out dust and some moisture, but it's not an "O" ring type waterproof seal. Even if it was, the EOS 40D, like all Canon consumer DLSRs lacks a waterproof seal on the lensmount and the popup flash isn't sealed, so water can get into the camera there. As far as I know the buttons and dials of the EOS 40D have the same seals as those on the 30D. "

Nice pic. That 200hp is a monster...Thanks

That's why when it rained and such I always shoot with my kodak...:D

Huntrz will be happy to know the Nikon never got wet either...;)......but I have heard several wedding-landscape photographers using them out in the pouring rain and such and they are still working....:eek:....IDK....I don't wanna chance it with that kinda of money........:D

Nice pic. That 200hp is a monster...Thanks

And is it a monster on gas too? I think my neighbor fills up and it's like 110 a week, if I heard right!.....:eek:

Sweet shot bam! You have a good eye for creative images.
