Flares

by Ron on December 8, 2008

A couple times a year, students from the marine program at AVTEC (a local vocational school), light off a wide variety of signal flares along the waterfront.  This allows them become familiar with there operation and use.  I thought it made for an interesting photo opp.

Well that’s quite different. I like it , though, especially with the vaguest of mountain scenary in the background.Interesting!

Great shot. I agree with Richard. It is VERY dramatic!

Thanks everyone!

Indeed it does, Ron. Had they let you, a little bit of fill flash might have made the people stand out more. This is like, you’re a pro! :-)

geez, and I thought I was gonna get a lesson on how not to shoot into the sun! :)

That is funny Gary!

Thanks Laurent – I think you are right. This was more of a drive by opportunity, but some flash would have been nice!
