A few from last weekend - snow

Hi All

I took my son out with his sledge last weekend, a bit of fun for him but I promised myself that I would make it mainly about him and not photo's - it went ok, took some 'action' shots but also tried to take a few other pics whilst waiting for him to get back up the slope each time

Basically I wondered if I could make a half decent job of some photo's whilst pretty much being rooted to one area and not being there specifically for photo's other than of him and his sledge


I used the K5 with a Sigma 70-300 and the K10 with my Vivitar 28mm.

No hands



Beginning to wobble



Oops



Oops a bit more




And the random shots of anything within reach whilst waiting for the little guy to get back to the top of the slope

The view towards Froncysyllte



The sun shines nicely on the phone lines



Wet knees getting this one

Nice set of the little 'un.

Thanks Alan

Great set Stuey looks like he had a lot of fun but i must know?? did you have a go? i bet you did lol

Hi Shaun

Thanks for the comment

I was tempted to have a go but feared that my weight may break his sledge so I declined his offer as I did not want to add the the surprisingly high number of broken sledges around or upset the little fella

I feel sorry for the staff as people seem to think that it is alright to abandon broken sledges and leave them as litter in the country park

This did not stop me wanting to get on it head first after a run up though Casualty may have been the more likely outcome

Cheers

Nice set Stu, what Viaduct is that btw?

Hi Cliff

Thanks for the comment

The viaduct is on the line between Ruabon and Chirk - it sits/stands at one end of the Ty Mawr country park in Cefn Mawr

Telfords 'famous' Aquaduct is a little further up the valley (about 1.5 to 2 miles)

You should visit one day

Cheers
