[center]Went out to play on sunday, testing my newest lens ( Sigma 70-200) and to learn my girlfriend some tips and tricks about dSLR photography. We went to a local river, to shoot the traffic. ( we needed fast moving objects, to learn about shuttertimes...)
There's the small boat... 7 people in that one!

LOL!!! Goes to show you that rich people are often very lonely.

And clearly the peasants aboard that Mastercraft are getting more smiles per mile!!

Excellent stuff- looks like you had a perfect day for shooting!

That Mastercraft isn't a cheap ski boat but, they are great to ski behind!!!

As a wise, wealthy man once told me," You'll have more fun in that little ole boat than I ever will in my big expensive one. I'm too afraid to scratch mine." I get more fun out of my 35 year old $750 powerboat than many other people around here in their $80000 ones.

I spot 5 folks in that second one. There's 2 at the bow and 3 at the helm (correct terminology?). Great shots though. Really like that last one... man I want a DSLR.

One thing about that big boat, there could be 10 people in the cabin watchin tv. Of course to me that defeats the purpose of being on the boat.
