Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning


August 2, 2009: Rocco and Barbara - more about kite surfing

I met Rocco a month ago when I was trying to figure out how to get good action photos of the kite surfer acrobatics. I took some of Barbara, but they were not very good. So, as luck would have it, Rocco and Barbara were back this weekend - for more photo practice for me.

Here is an animated gif of a Rocco and Barbara and Rocco exhibition of the photos below

Here is Rocco (left) giving Barbara a helping hand (as if she really needed any help)
