Jim’s World

I have posted a few shots from the Scooby Snacks – Killer Cods game on Wednesday.  I don’t think I got everyone.  It is tough to get good pictures when you are out of breath between points.  I will try again at another game in the future.  All of the pictures are here: Page 1, Page 2.

I have been trying to take some pictures of some of Jessie’s indoor ultimate. The lighting isn’t great and I don’t really have the right lens for the environment but it is good practice for the summer season. The ISO is really high which means that the pictures are really grainy (noisy). There isn’t too much I can do about this without buying a REALLY expensive new lens.

I have posted the pictures from the past couple games. Game 1 pictures are HERE and the Game 2 pictures are HERE.

I have tried using some new software to shrink the pictures and hopefully they will look better. I will try to make it even better in the future, but these aren’t the best quality pictures to start with.

Here are the pictures I’ve taken at the past couple Rajin Gaijin games.

The first game against Unitarded did not go all that well, and we didn’t have a lot of subs, so I didn’t take too many pictures, but a few of them turned out OK.

We had quite a few subs for the night game against the East Coast All-Stars, so I took a few more pictures.  The lighting wasn’t great at Lansdowne so most of the pictures are pretty grainy, but some of them are good action shots.

I have compressed the pictures quite a bit to post them, but if you want some of the higher quality versions, let me know.  I’m sorry if I didn’t get a picture of everyone, if the weather is good for any of the remaining games I will bring my camera again.

Jessie’s peeps sent us to the Fairmont Chateau Montebello for one night for her birthday.

When we got there we explored the hotel (apparently the largest log structure in the world) and the surrounding grounds, played a couple games of squash, and swam in the huge indoor pool.  After dinner I learned how to play backgammon while relaxing in the giant atrium in the middle of the hotel.  It was quite an impressive room.

On the second day we played are round at the hotel’s golf course.  It was a really nice course, but the greens were vicious.  Really fast and contoured.  On a couple if you missed the hole on a short put it would keep rolling for 30 feet right off of the green.  All things considered, we had OK scores.  It was a very scenic course with some cool elevated tees and greens.  The couple we played with were very nice.

All of the pictures are up HERE.

Jessie and I went to Huntsville again a few weeks ago to relax at the cottage.  There were a lot of water activities (skiing, wakeboarding, etc.), a really long kayak trip (from Arrowhead provincial bark down the river to Lake Vernon) and some really good food.

I took A LOT of pictures with my new camera (and some with my old camera).  Fortunately both stayed dry .  The pictures are all here: Page 1, Page 2.

I have put up the Discrepencies playoff pictures.  I didn’t get too many because I was playing most of the time, so sorry if I didn’t get any of you.

The pictures are HERE.   If you want any larger versions, let me know and we’ll work something out.

A few of us stuck around to watch MILF play on Saturday afternoon.  I took A LOT of pictures and have reduced it down to 89 for your viewing pleasure.  There are actually many more and with much better quality than what I have posted here, so if you want them, talk to either Jessie or myself.

I think I got at least a couple pictures of everyone.  In most cases I picked one out of a burst of three or four pictures, though I highly recommend the fake and through sequence by Jason from 929 to 934.  That is how not to bite on a fake throw (or a good example of how to fake someone out).  Also entertaining are the power stops, totally gratuitous layouts after the catch has been made and of course Joe and his parasol.

The pictures are on three pages: Page One, Page two, Page three.  Sorry if I didn’t get a good picture of you, I’m working on it for next year.

A few pictures from the Mayday Malone’s Tuesday night playoffs last Saturday.  I didn’t take to many pictures since we were short on players.  I think Andrew took a few while I was on.  I shrunk the pictures considerably to post them.  If you want the bigger pictures, let me know and we’ll work something out.

A couple of the pictures were actually taken while watching MILF in the afternoon, but I think they will be appreciated more by Malones players.

All of the Saturday morning pictures are HERE.  I will work on getting the MILF pictures up from Saturday afternoon and The Discrepencies from Sunday.

I had two consecutive weekends of trips to the cottage.  the first was to Karen’s family’s cottage on Peninsula Lake.  The first real chance to play around with my new camera.  Some stuff worked, some did not.

Mostly water sports and just hanging out.  It was a relaxing weekend.  Not too much to write about.  The pictures are HERE.

I’ll put up the pictures from the other cottage later.

Jessie was subbing for an ultimate team last Wed. and I went out to watch and play with my new camera.  The results are HERE.  Pretty good, I just need to work on my angles. to try and get more faces in the pictures.  Capturing the throws is not too difficult (especially with the burst mode), but the catches are much more difficult.  Yes Chris, I did get a picture of you catching a point.
