I had an idea since the beginning of the week. I shot bowling pins at the alley before and now I had an actual reason to go back and re-shoot. About the middle of the 3rd game it hit me about the 7-10 split so I desperately tried to get one...Easier said then done of course. Lucky for me the gentleman next to me got one and was real cool about letting me take a few shots.

I think I'd just press the "reset" button...I did once "accidentally convert a 6-7-10 though...

This is a good picture, but the title could have been:"Impossible Choices"

Been there, missed that! Dirty pins! (multil-definition phrase) Good photo! Did they let you walk down the bowling alley lane to get that close? 9 Swash

Whilst I really like some elements of this - the symmetry, the polished wooden floor, the colours and the clean background - with the two focal points at opposite ends my eye ends up resting on the nothingness in the middle a bit.

nice idea. seems like a slight tilt which is vaguely annoying. Would have liked it to be more evenly balanced.

I know u only had time to shoot from when the clear thingy lifted till the ball came up again but the right pin is unclear 5 for originality & reflection Mags Coyote

wish the pins were a bit more in focus

Wicked idea… Great picture, I love the drama captured here. The exposure is superb, but there is a slight lack of sharpness… Great capture (9)
10/02/2002 08:13:00 AM
I absoluly agree!
10/01/2002 10:43:00 PM
I can spare that with my eyes closed....nice shot (photo that is)

Excellent. Worst nightmare indeed
10/01/2002 06:04:00 PM
Looks fuzzy.

I like your idea. Wish it was a bit sharper.

You're right... I can tell it.

You strike fear into the heart of anyone who has ever held a bowling ball

Nice photo. You've definitely met the challenge. I hope that wasn't a split that you were trying to pick up :) - JB
