It's not just the length of his caber that makes him great but also the weight of his stones.
Tossing the Caber. ; A caber is a 19 foot long pole weighing about 135 pounds.
Throwing the Stones. Stones weighed 46 to 52 pounds depending on competitor's class.
Some pipers were about, too.
All taken with the Nikon D700 and 70-200VR lens at the CNY Scottish Games held near Syracuse, New York today. ; For the competitions, I used the D700's 3-D Matrix focusing mode. ; Without it, I kept missing focus on the action. Very impressed!
