    Default Horror on the Hooptie Deux

    We were heading back in after several hours of shooting aboard the Hooptie Deux when I turned around and saw this. It was able to keep pace with the boat, changing speed whenever we did. After several minutes of abject terror, we reached the dock. When I looked around, the creature was gone.

    Shot with Nikon D2X and 200-400mm Vr lens.

    If that is not scary, what is? Did the creature make sounds? :)

    That hood is what I need.
    The viewfinder is my guidance.

    PS Van, why didn't you tell me I need to trim my eyebrows?

    Man, I just saw that image and wet myself! Tears? Laughter? Bladder? I'm not sure.

    I actually thought that this look was the reasoning behind the "Darth" moniker... :-)

    Nope.

    MikeBinOK started calling me that a few years ago.

    You see, I have been using Nikon gear way before it became cool (D300 / D3)

    As you know Nikon Lenses are "Dark" compared to Canon's.

    Someone asked Mike if he knew someone that could help him with a Nikon issue.
    He said yes, Darth Vader Lord of the Dark Side, refering to me.
    It has stuck with me since!
