Boules

[Stan]

Wandering around Bath yesterday in one of the squares they were playing boules. I set out to capture the action with the boule in shot. Here are a couple - so annoyed with the first at clipping the top of his hand 7D and 70-200 f2.8

Re: Boules

Re: Boules

I'm more concerned that the player seems to have become impaled by both hat and hand on the tree.

Re: Boules

So ........ to get this right in camera, we need to add a few accessories to the camera bag:

* A sniper rifle to take care of the child.
* A chainsaw for the tree.
* A rocket propelled grade for the white parked car.
* A flamethrower for the sign post.

All without disturbing the player .................. that I would like to see.

Bath looks like a great place for people snapping Stan, Alas it's too far away for me. :-)

It is Millie and also for the architecture although there is little point in doing that on a busy weekend

Alas it's too far away for me. :-)

Its not exactly on our doorstep - 70 miles in the car and then cycling 11 miles along the canal path from Bradford on Avon
