Sandhill Crane Shoot
Ten members of our club traveled to Rowes Sanctuary near Gibbon, Ne. to view and photograph the yearly spectacular of the Sandhill Crane migration. Some 600,000 cranes pass through this area each year. It is truly a site to behold.
OPPD Power Drive
It was a cold and windy day....... No this is not the start of a dime novel. It was a fun day for a bunch of teenagers to show there stuff with the electric cars they built. Each car was powered by a battery and built by them with the supervision of there adult crews. They all had to meet strict safety and mechanical guidelines and had to compete in various timed events. And yes it was a cold and windy day, but the shooters had fun doing it. Check out a sampling of photos below.
Sand in the City Charity Event
This event gave us a chance to do a little payback to the community. It is an annual charity event for the Nebraska Children's Home Society Foundation. This year their photographer could not make the event so they turned to us for help in shooting it. Naturally we jumped at the chance. Shooting pictures and helping out is what we do (not to mention it was a whole lot of fun). Those contributing to the effort were: Jeff Bane, George Sinos, Mel and Sharron Mann, Sue Baxter and Gary Prill.
