What. A. Morning. It was a great pleasure to finally meet Manny and Cary, and to meet up with William again. We got lucky with light on the first pass, that is for sure. I got the shot that I had worked a 2nd job to buy a new camera for, and all is well.
What a day, what a day. I honestly, don't have much to say for once.

hopefully you can send some of that light up our way! tremendous shots and something I can only hope to pull off on Monday...I'd LOVE to have some of those hanging on my wall!!!!
I am supremely jealous!!!
Nick. Nice meeting you finally. Terrific photos you captured. I decided to join Cary for spotting at BWI 'til sunset..... So I am still on the road back to NY. Pictures to come although Nick covered the three passes well!
What an amazing experience. I never imagined it would be as emotional as it was!
Today was insane and I loved it, the waiting was rewarded with these incredible sights.
Great hanging out with you guys and Nick you nailed those passes
Thank you all so much!
Manny, I hope BWI treated you well :wink:

Great coverage, guys! It's got me really stoked about next week! Hope we get some good weather.
Great coverage Nick! I hope I am able to get shots like that up here next week!
Dan, easily? ha! You mean [at all]. I was 250 miles from my computer and CF card readers :-( So yeah, I wanted to tweet something so it was either LCD shot 9which looks horrible) or this which is less horrible but bad nonetheless :tongue:Quote:

Oh, and Cary had to touch the screen to focus and adjust exposure lol.
I'm sorry I gave the picture a "slight yellow cast" when I touched the screen, Manny :frown:Quote:
