Thanks guys. Alastair, yes, there is a foam wall/bumper at the end that most of the people just crash into. I went back Saturday night a little more prepared. 6D, "L" lens, tripod, and then I used something I hadn't tried before, in camera HDR. Those shots came out better. Lower noise/iso, and a more balanced photo. Of course I don't leave any of them alone. I'm into a gritty thing right now. I'll post one from Saturday. davev.
How Cool is That?!? I thought we were in St. Petersburg Russia....And people skate down that thing?
You know, we on the Coasts really don't give enough credit for the genius and creativity of people in the middle....I will think on this a lot; maybe even write about it a little.
