Default Strike me down
Today is our son Dylan's 18th birthday, other than buying his first legal alcoholic drink he wanted to play Ten Pin Bowling, so off we went with our P&S in hand.

Steve took this shot, I took the others. Please excuse the quailty of the shots, the lighting wasn't that good and we had the ISO on the wrong setting.

I love the perspective of this one, Steve is so much better at that than I am. I am learning from him though...slowly, lol.

Lining up ready to go.

Ready to go

Will Steve get a strike?

It was great fun. We haven't played Ten Pin Bowling for so long and forgot what a cool game it was.

Thanks for viewing and any comments are welcome.

Happy Birthday to your son! Those are great shots - I think the wrong ISO and lighting add to the bowling alley feel. And the perspective and spinning balls in the second and third shots are great.
