Great event and really nice people. I will be at the next photo shoot they hold, highly recommend it to the other POTN members. I wish I could have stuck around longer but the ice storm had me worried about the 6 hour drive home.
Overall the challenge was not having enough light. I had to open up the lens to get shutter speeds but then that created a very narrow DOF. Can't wait for next time...

Thanks, saw whet is one of my favorites also... Yeah our ride home was pretty scary also. When we stopped for gas I had around 1/2" of ice on the truck. I'm just glad we all made it home alright. It was nice meeting you, maybe we can get out and shoot sometime...Jeff
