Kodak Gold 100 (exp 03/06)
Caber Trailer by br1078phot, on Flickr
Used to haul the cabers (tree trunks tossed for how straight they are when they land after turning over), and all the other items used in the games.
The Bar by br1078phot, on Flickr
Where things get tossed over, such as the sheaf, a twelve pound burlap sack.
Tossing The Sheaf 1 by br1078phot, on Flickr
A twelve pound burlap sack is tossed for height. This participant was just practicing.
Here is where the camera decided it will no longer focus when the zoom is racked all the way out.

Stone Put 1 by br1078phot, on Flickr
I almost got this one at the right time, as you can just see the stone exiting the frame on the right.

I got this one just a bit early. That's the problem with using an old P&S camera, as there was a bit of lag time on the shutter release, and timing the action is mostly guesswork.
This is my first year at the games, so next time I'll go prepared with better equipment. I lost a dozen shots on this roll due to the focus malfunction. I’m giving up on using the Classic 120 anymore (this being the fourth one I had fail on me), and will switch to the Z135 which is a bit more robust. It’s too bad, as the 120 has such a nice lens, and some really unique features.

Well-known
Here in Scotland the caber is tossed and it is the straightest once it has been turned over.
Nice set though

Thanks, Schlapp, I'll amend my description. There wasn't much action going on, and they didn't have any info sheets to tell about the various items being tossed, so I didn't hang around long.
