It scares me!! I’ll bet he’s a teddy bear. Do mule skinners smell as bad as their reputation??
lol…… Thank you so much, Kay! You’re right about Smokey….. one of the nicest fellows you could ever want to meet. He’s been in this group for years, and participated in many movies and events. These Muleskinners don’t smell at all, but the ‘real’ drivers of those wagons in the 1880’s…… well, I’m guessing they bathed once a month, whether they needed it or not!!!!! lol
Thank you so much for your comments, my friend!

Awesome work my dear friend. Love Love Love the POV. Why does the barrel look so BIG??? Is that what it looks like when you’re looking down into a guns barrel? Great shot and PP work.
Hello, my friend! I really am glad you like this one. Yes, that’s a really BIG barrel and I’d hate to have the loaded version pointed at me!!! lol
You know I really value your comments…… thank you very much!

WOW….THATS A BIG GONE..
OR IS IT JSUT THE ANGLE…LOL…
KINDA SCARRY STARRING DOWN THE BARREL THAT WAY!!
GREAT WORK KENTON…;)
LOL…… Thank you so much, Tammera! Yep, a might big ‘gone’ alright. Especially if it hit you……. that WOULD be GONE!!!
It’s really just the angle because the tip of the barrel is the closest thing to the lens….. shot with a 15mm lens at f/22 with manual focus. Focused on the tip of the barrel, and at that fstop, a good DOF keeps most things in focus. Good fun experimenting with these perspective shots.
Thanks a million for your comments!!! Much appreciated!!!
