Here's the top numbero uno shot of the day, enjoy... Nikon D3, 24-70 lens, pushing 70mm, 6 seconds exposure time, with -2.3 EV, stopped down heavy, tri-pod mounted, shutter release. A little luck.

Amazing, it really pops out at you.

Man, that's beauti...oh, crap. Right in the eye. Beautiful, anyway.

Way Cool! Where did you shoot from? (I wimped out and stayed home)

Thanks you all.


Lens cap, well I have shooting in and out, almost down to a science. This process is augmented by the fact I live in South Knoxville. So, I went to Ruby Tuesdays, and never left their parking lotI. The disadvantage is there were power lines that entered in more than I expected. I will have to seek an alternate location next year.

but I actually left before the final boom, I knew it was close, and shot out of there ahead of traffic. So, shoot in, shoot, and shoot out. lol.

Here's a few more, in case you care to see, I have only processed the above shot though other than a little sharpening.
