Retirement hobbies 1
One of the other residents in our retirement village loves to make models among his other hobbies. This particular model of a small patrol boat is made entirely from scratch, rather than a kit, and is fully radio controlled using a small and quiet electric motor. Here he was putting it through its paces on the village lake, and this shot along with one or two others will accompany an article about his efforts in the next village monthly magazine.
For a sense of size, it would measure around 20 inches in length.
This was an unexpected shoot for me as I had gone to the lake with birding in mind and only had the full telephoto setup with me, but I was able to get far enough back to chase the boat around the lake as it sped along.
