He's going down

We went up to Topsfield yesterday for the last day of the fair. Saw the giant pumpkin (was so hard not to yell "It's gourdgeous!" while standing in front of it), saw our annual fill of farm animals and award-winning collections of root vegetables and took in the lumberjack competition, in which guys dressed mainly in flannel plaid shirts competed in such manly pursuits as axe throwing, log sawing and, of course, logrolling.

Just wondering
Since you are not giving anyone else credit for the picture, did you take it Adam G? And if you did...what kind of camera does wandering UHub photographer Adam G wander with? Just wondering.
Yep, I took it
With an old Canon PowerShot SX10, which works great in bright sunlight, as that photo shows, not so great in dim light (as the photos from the East Boston casino forum tonight show).
Thanks
I agree that the lumberjack picture came out very good. Water droplets, and impending splashdown of log roller frozen in air. The casino pic I think also came out well. Judging by the shadows it looks like you opted for no flash (good move IMO so that the foreground, and background are equally visible) people look properly exposed, and I don't notice any graininess. thanks for replying, love the blog, it is my #1 daily news source.
