A few pictures from yesterdays shoot
« on: July 06, 2007, 10:42:22 AM »
Guess who.

Al with Tropicos swivel gun.

The rest of their guns.

SD and I never got around to getting our guns out of our vehicles. Too much fun with Tropico's and Al's guns. I ended up sunburned and sick from the heat. We all had a really great day

I hope so. Due to a minor problem the video camera I had borrowed ended up leaving with my nephew. He showed up in time to help pack up and leave. Due to circumstances best not mentioned he ended up with a lot of my stuff in his car and the camera is now 37 miles away in the next county. I an going to go get it later today. videos by tomorrow.

Yes I am. Shame on me. I said it would show up here. But it was educational. I certainly learned something from it.

Here is a screen capture I got from Jeeper1's video., Here Jeeper1 catches the Pepsi separating from the Bronze.
It does not appear to be in a straight line.., thats because the mortar is in recoil mode  ;D

Finally., from .mov's to .mpg's ., wmv's  ., the converting which misaligns video and audio., all straighten out in "Movie Maker".   What a mess. I wish my Kodak took video in AVI instead of mov .   Anyway this video is a culmination of the 2 weeks before during and after July 4th 2007 .  Lots of little booms in this one.
