Don't leave home without it

:sunglasses:Don’t leave home without it. Your digital camera that is! You will never know who is out there float tubing!

:sunglasses:That looks like it might be lonehunter, from the Michigan board. He likes to get away from the ice about this time of year.

Good shot. I think you got his true essence.

By the way, where are the pics of the fish? I know, you released them all, but one of them was so large that the file weighed 3 pounds when you downloaded it from your camera.

was that you taking my picture ?:sunglasses:

i’ve been busted with my mr. quackers float tube again !!![crazy]

good thing my snowbird legs were underwater , they tend to make digital cameras go analog , lol !

Hey lone hunter, Somehow I knew that you were a tuber. I guess it took time to come out of the closet. Or to get Mr. Quackers to hold still long enough to mount him. LOL

yep , mr.quackers and i seem to get a little attention where ever we go . i’ve read where it’s best to blend into the suroundings so you don’t spook the fisk , ducks, water , what could look more natural ?[:)]

Dont worry lonehunter, they got your good side[;)]

Personally I must be technoligy challanged. I do not own a digital camera. To complicated for an old feller like me. But how about I carry my little 35 mm. Will that work.

Just giving you a hard time.

Any kind of camera is fine. With some of them it just takes longer to get your pics. With others you can keep your pics longer. I found out by leaving my digital unattended for some time and the batteries went low and I lost the pics that I had stored in it. Nextime I need to upload them right away.

:sunglasses:Hey, Indiana Kid, welcome to our little hoorah. Got to let you know you are in good company here. Quite a few of us guys are at least “plenty nine”.

As Dryrod suggests, you are only too old when you are too old to try. Yeah, it gets a little harder every year to soak up some of the new technology, but boy when you get a handle on it, it sure can make life more fun and interesting.

I have been float tubing over 45 years, but I only got “computerized” a few years ago. And, after shooting 35 MM film for all my life, I got a new Olympus D-550 digital less than a year ago. I’m still learning how to make the best of what I bought, but for the most part it is “codger-proof”. Pretty much point and click. Of course it gets more complicated when you have to download the images to a computer and then to size, crop and enhance them for best effect.

If you shoot film, most developing places now have the potential to also put your images on a CD, as well as prints. This makes it possible for you to share with others…family, friends or other BFT members.

You guys have really been getting a winter back there. When have you put in the order for spring?

HAHAHA YOU GUYS FOUND CHAMP!! HAHA LONEHUNTER I DIDNT THINK YOU COULD RIDE THAT GOOD !! HAHAHA HE DIDNT BUCK YA OFF?? HAHA[:)][;)][;)][;)][;)][;)]

:sunglasses:I gotta share a pic I took yesterday on my first trip out this year. Might be my last.

Looks like the drought conditions have created a race of giant rats…who wanna become float tubers.

hey , look out it’s a I.R.S. agent !
