I've been looking at advanced p&s cameras, so I got out the old PowerShot A720 IS to see how much I would use a compact.

Here are few photos I took on a day trip to nearby Whitefish Falls:

I believe this is Dale Jr's. Nascar. I failed to get a good shot of the side of the trailer with is pic and signature. Just a few snaps. I didn't go into the store to see if Suave was on sale.
That is a show car for Suave and not an actual NASCAR Sprint Cup race car that Dale Earnhardt Jr races with. Here are photos of what Dale Earnhardt Jr's haulers and his Michigan NASCAR Sprint Cup race winning race car looks like :

A rare outing with the HS 500 (killing some time before going to see William Shatner :-)

Newport Beach pier.














Rather prone to flare, but oh well...

I had a 720IS that I gave to my niece. She has taken some wonderful photos with it. I used it for a long time and took some nice photos with it. I even used to for cool videos. Here is a vintage Top Fuel video. All cars are from the 1950's, 1960's, and 1970's. They are so awesome!!

Curving the Light

Attachment 160672I forgot I had taken a few shots of the xmas tree decorated with mult-colored lights. I took the shot because of the prism created on the open door. I found this intriquing.

Titan II missile museum near Tucson, AZ. I went on the $79.99 top-to-bottom tour. I used the P&S because of cramped conditions and low light. It's about 1-1/2 to 2 stops faster (f2) than any of my my DSLR wide-angle options.

Museum building. The missile silo is at the extreme right.


Silo door weighs 760 tons. The black pyramid is the viewing window.


Control center. It took 58 seconds to launch - much improved over the previous system.


Sewage ejection station.


Long cable way from the command center to the missile silo. It is hung on springs.


Missile nose.


Missile body.


Newspaper about the museum opening.


This is the bottom - the blast deflector.


The blast deflector channels the rocket blast up two of these exhaust ducts around the silo.


The engine is on display on the surface, but mounts here.


Star Trek: First Contact had some scenes filmed here.


The silo perimeter radar warning system would alert security if anyone or anything broke the signal beam.


This is the Stage 1 engine that is normally attached to the bottom of the missile.


Silo sign.


Missile nose. A small rectangle has been cut in the side to prove it is inactive. The silo door also now has concrete stops to keep it from fully opening.


The discage antenna actually has two parts, for different radio frequencies. (This was with the Pentax K-5).

Elton John in Las Vegas.

Walking out.


Bennie and the Jets.


Davey Johnstone, and back-up singers.


Talking about choosing a song for the Madison Square concert after 9/11.


Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters.




Ray Cooper banging away.


Indian Sunset.


Empty Garden.


Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.




Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.


Philadelphia Freedom.




I forget...maybe I'm Still Standing.


Encouraging the audience.


Got onstage for Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting.


Encore - Circle of Life.


The line-up.

From Canon S100

These are from my Canon S100. I still use it for scuba diving and hunting season because it is silent. Enjoy!

NIce shots Kyle - cool to see some of EJ's original band members are with him again. That was a killer group & EJ just wasn't the same after the split (1976 ?). I pretty much lost track of him after that. Cool missile silo tour too!
