A two weeks ago my 5 year old son asked if we could go see the Monster Trucks, specifically the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Truck. So being a cool dad, I checked online and ordered tickets for today's show. It was my first time too, so dad was slightly excited... OK, I was looking forward to it.
Today came and he was chumpin' at the bit to get going, so off we went. I thought I had pretty good sits, but didn't realize how good... cause the rows can be misleading depending on the event. Anyways, we were center arena in row 4 on the end. Perfect for a 5 year old.
I'd not taken my digital to a sporting event yet, so it was a little trial and error. The lighting was poor thus making the camera delay much longer than I was used to. Did get some good ones, but the dust and smoke made many pics cloudy, though sharp. Here is a little action and a pic with his driver of choice (TMNT) and the main attraction (Grave Digger).
Sure beats all my tool gloats by a mile.
