Photos from the last meetup

[Brad Dudenhoffer]

here are some of the photos from the "How did nobody set himself on fire?" meetup. These are scaled way down so let me know if you want a full-res copy of any of them.

Cool pictures, Brad!  Do you mind if I use a couple in a blog post?  I'll give you the photo credit.

Say more about the last picture, I'm curious.

Feel free to use them. The sky was clear state workshop but as I was driving past the airport I could see the edge of what looked like a really active thunderstorm. I loved the combination of starry sky and lightning so I thought it was worth trying to capture it. I didn't have a tripod with me so I wasn't sure I would be able to get anything at all. I leaned against the car, slows my breathing, and was just barely able to hold it steady for the six second exposure I needed to catch a decent amount of light. Most of the photos had a significant amount of blit but this one wasn't too bad. It was taken on the side of the road that loops around the back of the airport. 6s exposure, f/3.5, 18mm, iso3200
