Just a quick grab shot as these snowmobilers sped past me on a country lane. While the 'deep freeze' has kept all of us in more than usual, a recent snowfall has afforded new opportunities for some of my neighbors. These machines are a little noisy - but oh the places they can go! Looks like fun to me.

I'll bet the next capture you post will be a timed exposure as you come snow mobiling down that slope. It just fits your life style - just a little different twist from a kayak capture! Smile

Now that is just what you need not only to get about generally but to go places you'd normally have to hike to.
Excellent grab shot and the crop has the snowmobiles very well placed. Pretty good exposure and colour too.

I remember doing this back in the 70's when we had ski doos. How they've changed. This is a great image with fine exposure.

Pat, Hi:


Marvelous composition of the winter sport enjoyed by many. I like the PoV and colors of the machines again the white snow and winter background. I hope your weekend is going well and that this winter deep freeze leaves us with warmer weather very soon. Very nicely done.


Thanks
Larry

More than just a grab shot, Pat. Looks like lots of fun. Don't see many of those in the Big Apple. You do seem to be making big strides with that D90.

Hello Pat.
Yes, big fun it is to ride a snowmobile.
Indeed a pity the huge noise most of them make.
Very nicely captured.
