While I was on the bridge taking yesterday’s shot, a photographer with a better view gave me a friendly wave. This was tricky shot with a 500mm lens, shooting a moving target and being ready to not look at the sun. One of the perks of a point-and-shoot camera is that you can look at the sun — all you are looking at is a little LCD. Not the case with a 500mm SLR, you can burn a hole right through the back of your skull with that thing; so, Heads Up!

WAY cool. You must have had a heck of a fast shutter speed - you froze the helicopter rotor. I think I’d have stuck my thumb out and tried to hitch a ride.

Sure, you and Strange see this and think COOL. I think Stevie Ray Vaughan.
