Thanks. Oh but what I wouldn't give to be getting this shot right at "...home of the brave." with the pyro and the Blue Angles going over through the open roof!!!

Someday...someday...

:shock:

i know i will be watching the game... but i'm just waiting for the moment the camera pans by the sea of beautiful beautiful white lens...

hey Jay.. u control those cameras, could you somehow ask them to stay like a solid 5 seconds on them white lens... :p

5D + 17-40L .. 1/30 @ f/8 ISO 400

As for the lighting, just look at the giant softbox on top! ;) If it looks good here, you should see it full res on my 24" LCD @ 1920x !! Neeless to say, I have a new wallpaper...

[disneydork06]

I know! I just noticed that the top was a pretty good diffuser :-)
I have a 12in laptop and the image looks okay on my screen, so if you cover like half of your monitor you can see what I see :-P

That stadium and the way they put the ground into are amazing ....nothing like that here in australia ...let alone at a University...
Could i ask ...How many does the stadium hold ...our biggest football stadium holds just on 100,000 ...thats the Melbourne Cricket Ground ..MCG ..It's an outdoor stadium no roof ..
cheers

This isn't a "university" stadium. The University of Phoenix merely paid a large sum of money to have their corporate name plastered on the sides. Trust me, it's been the source of nearly limitless headscratching regarding why they ended up the top bidder.

[disneydork06]

hehe, yeah. if only the pink taco business won, then it would be interesting :-P oh, and go Giants :-) no one deserves to be perfect just yet. :-D

I am a die hard Miami Dolphin fan, so in order to preserve their 1 and only undefeated season, I say GO GIANTS! Great stadium shot!

Edited to say: Matthew...I thought I was bad in rooting for the recently hopeless Dolphins!

[TiKTaC]

I wished I was there!!!!! Love your title. ;)

[hckyguy14]

Excellent shots!!!

Go Patriots!
