Cool shot. Sometimes I'll be able to tuck in behind a slow moving truck or bus (while on my bike) and get pulled for a kilometre or two. Kind of dangerous stuff, but the rush of cruising at about 50 kmh with little or no effort (or windbuffeting) makes it hard to resist. I guess this guy doesn't have to worry about the boat panic-braking. ;-) Well caught. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
