I wasn't able to get to WWB until the 2nd night - hence this starting with "Night 2". The wind was blowing, and anything on the infield blew towards me. (Kept getting smoke and debris all over me. Cool!) Click on a thumbnail for a full-sized image. Copyright notice at bottom of page.

I really wasn't happy with the first night of photography for me. I don't know - it just didn't "click". My aiming was off due to the wind and I always seemed to over-compensate. (Consider that I shot over 500 shots on the first day/night, these are the ones that looked good!)

With the wind blowing, it made for some very interesting looking pictures.		Why is it that we can't seem to launch a salvo without salutes?	Some of the cakes demo'd this night were very nice!
	Ring-pattern shells work great for pictures.		The colors worked VERY well on this one.
		Mess-o-shells and wind makes for a great picture!
Bill Zuber's Gasoline Wall helped to keep the folks warm!	There was a display of different cakes. Made for a grand display!	Add in a couple of pattern shells - now you're talkin	Nice crossing pattern
I love the blue on this one				Add in some strobes - makes for a great shot
				Nils Anderson Nils contacted me that he had bought 3 shells from Aaron Mayfield. This is one of those beauties. (This picture has not been cropped - it was a huge 12" shell)

These pictures were all shot at the WPA's Western Winter Blast #18, 2007. These pictures are thumbnails images. To see a larger image, click on'em.
