She is getting good on the camera...

I am in the middle of an argument with a friend of mine right now, he doesn't go out because of the price of gas. I tell him I can't remember what gas costs were even last year, but I do remember all the fun times we had. The pics are the best way to keep those memories fresh. I just have them as a slide show screen saver and at work people are always asking where and when was that. You can't beat time with the kids in a boat. I also have to give my on the camera. The cannon is an awsome camera and I almost bought one and ended up finding the Nikon D50 with a 15-80 lens and a 85-300 at costco for $800. It was my wifes mothers day present last summer . I think it is very close in comparison to the cannon and the price was right. Not saying it's the best, just a great camera to catch memories. I think every boater needs a good slr with no shutter lag, it should be a standard accessory when you buy a boat. Back to the thread, awesome pics Ragboy and congrats on the family time.

Agreed, and thx. I used to be not so interested in taking pictures. It is so important to me now.

tell him to keep his elbows locked at his waist. I guarantee if he does that, he will land it.

I will.

The shots I have posted are all handheld. I would rather she just got good that way. Just jump in a boat and get good pics. Sounds expensive, I wasn't aware of that lens. Sounds cool though.

Not worth it, IMHO. Get the monopod, it's very handy at sporting events on land, too.

Great Pics! I have the Canon Digital Rebel as well and it takes awesome shots. I agree with Dogbert, a Dad's job is to create memories. It's the memories that my dad created for me that have caused me to buy a boat, motorcycles, etc.

It is great to see your kids out there enjoying it. My 14 year old is hooked, my 12 year old just picked up wakesurfing this year, and my 8 year old daughter just got up on a wakeboard on her first try yesterday.
