Big thanks to Colin, Carl, and everyone at Desert Splash/Scottsdale Airport who made this shoot possible.  This was a lot of fun.

You're right Joe, the slight cloud cover does add a little something.

Very nice Matt.  I like that the sky is not totally dark.  Even a few stars!  I'm a proponent of dusk shots because there is still natural soft light and the sky has a nice glow in the east.  No lights required!

A fact that was raised at one or two points along the way that night...  ;)

I can't repeat enough on how much fun this shoot was!

For those who don't know the story, I forgot my tripod at the hotel.  Fortunately, there was a set of chocks that were for the bird that were not in use.  I think it was either Matt or Joe that coined the phrase "Chock-Pod".  It saved my evening!


Joe Copalman

So good, Scott.

The low angle worked out well for you.  Maybe forgetting your tripod was a good thing.

Kicking myself for not taking the 3-4 minutes it would have taken to do a group shot.

Your ladder-cam setup paid dividends here!  Nice work!
