Levitation rules aka I’m so excited

I need to interrupt the beauty of Hawrelak Park with this bulletin. After I returned from Hawrelak and had some time to warm up, it came to my attention that the squirrel was some upset over the mouse showing him up in the levitation department. He called me over and gave me a severe dressing down and insisted that I document the fact that he’s still the supreme ruler over all things levitation. You know me, there was no way I was going to decline this opportunity and my fingers had recuperated by that time. We were a definite go for this. He did not disappoint, I was blown away. He actually showed me his best stuff. And this, Ladies and Gentlemen, is why competition rules. It propels us to hitherto unknown heights. Both of us were, to say the least, somewhat excited

 

 

Just a couple of more technical things about levitation here. Most of you may be under the impression that levitation is something that happens in slow motion like when an Indian guru does it. Well, most of the time, this is not the case. You have to be on your toes because the event is over in the flash of an eyeblink. Speaking of being on your toes, like many of my other shots, including the ones from Hawrelak, I employed my favorite shooting technique, the sitting down and enjoying life scenario. This one taken from my swing bench. So, don’t get too hung up over which is the proper shooting stance and how your feet should be positioned for this or that, just relax and get it done :-)

 

 

Have a wonderful week!

Believe it or not, this looks pretty cool when pressing on the + thingy.
