new camera with videos!

got a sony dsc-h5 i'm testing out, and i've taken a couple new pix and now videos!

here's the videos:

Peck's near ace
my flick shot
my backhand shot
(oh, if you're not already hooked up for net-videos, go get the latest stable binaries for the xvid codec, a one time thing.)

these are from testing the camera out at sussex

peck's jump putt



dan's ace (the disc went in after this shot)



two weekends ago i went up to close out some 9ers i've never hit fondulac-area. i hit tanner park, a 9er near a school. i dare say it's a near waste of baskets.. except for this one interesting-shaped mound, it's just a short single field with nothing worthwhile.



hole 9 looking back at 1



rosendale high's a little better. hole 1's down in those trees at right.



this one's kinda unique, the basket's guarded from just about anything but a drop-in hammer.






after hole 9 it's easy to miss knowing you have to walk around a bunch back towards a little lake. this is hole 11 i think.



hole 11's basket



i'd completely forgotten anything about red arrow having not played it in a long time and having played so many since. i think i must've even played a tournament i'd forgotten about there last year. it was hot as balls both times...
hole 1:



this big hill is used on different sides to make several holes



from on top you throw down into the trees at left. note the teepad for a different hole up and at right.



the waterpark next door. when i threw from the previously mentioned teepad on an anhyzer with a stable disc into a straight headwind... i kinda put it into the pool at right. whupps..



the skatepark also nextdoor



crazy weather that day, i drove into and past a minor storm cell



new holstein's alright, making good use of what's there anyway. hole 1 starts you driving low



more weather, the sunlight pouring through the clouds



this hole puts you going over or around the water



i got to test out a new photoshop feature i wasn't able to make use of with my analog camera: merge to high-dynamic-range. 3 images at different exposures.. which is why you see so many soccer players.



i aced hole 10 at manitowoc



there she sits, skipped off the ground and in



the weekend after that i went back up to manitowoc for a tourney and blew it worse than i thought i COULD blow it, right away in the first round. i couldn't even get my arm to be completely still while lining up for the putt. dammit, i never can in the morning.. mornings and my body hate each other. got into a hole i had no chance to dig out of, so i had two beers and two bloody mary's over lunch. shot a lot better, but nothing like i was hoping for. wouldn'ta taken much to with this one either, and it's one of just 2 that i give a crap about. was a mess that day in general, dropping an ipod, forgetting to bring my camera.. thpt. i hit two 9ers, oschwald in st. narniaz and hingiss in kiel on the way home.. no photos unfortunately.

sunday was pretty awesome. it was balls-ass hot, so my plan was to go hit the comic exhibit at the art museum. something i'd been meaning to but not finding the time to do. stopped at ma fischer's fist and had a strawberry waffle, watched the air show over the lake, saw the art museum, went down to 'stonefly brewery' in riverwest just to check it out, and then by 6pm or so drove up to brown deer park and set up some tempbaskets and practiced some more discgolf with 2 buddies. came home to a tivo fulla good stuff to fall asleep to too.

working my ass off this week, and preparing to drive down to tulsa for am worlds on friday night.
