It's that time of year when otherwise rational grown men and women use giant air-powered canons to shoot pumpkins hundreds of yards through the air because ... well, it's fun. Happened to have a couple of my drone rigs handy in the vehicle when we came across this very activity. Flew one of my cheap, lightweight bodies with an 18-55 kit lens on a gimble under an octo to get some down-range shots. The crew was lobbing pumpkins at a floating target in the middle of a pond about 1000 feet away. Much gourd carnage ensued. It was late in the day to get some unplanned shots in disappearing light, so I ended up at 1/60th to try to convey some sense of motion. Meh results, but it was fun. Missed the target by that much, but at least I caught the splash.

 

Any other seasonal delights out there? Share some photos!pumpkin-pond.thumb.jpg.efbd8d356cf424907856b6e8d5130198.jpg
