A Group Photo of some of the Columbus Flickr Meet Group at the Ohio Theater. This room is stunningly beautiful, really it's just jaw dropping.
This was a great event, and we had a lot of people show up... look forward to seeing everyone next time. This photo is Definately Best Viewed Large. By my count there are almost 40 people...
Put a Note with your name on your head (or if you know the person)...
...that's a lotta camera gear there folks, brings a tear to my eye..ha!
Tech Stuff: This was actually kinda tricky to pull off.. not a ton of light and we had to light up a decent amount of space. Shot was exposed at 15mm @ f/4, 1/50th w/ISO1600 (ISO800 didn't let enough of the background light in)... I was rushing so I would have done a few things different here, but oh well... here it is anyway, proof we were all here.
The gear was a Canon 20D with a Canon 10-22mm lens on a Manfrotto Tripod. There were five Canon Speedlites used to take this photograph (two 580EX's, one 550EX and two 430EX), two flashes were placed on the bottom right and left on the sides, and then another set of flashes about eight rows up. The flashes on the left were held by our wonderful guide... all triggered by a Canon speedlite on the hot shoe.
Set Desc: Photographs of The Ohio Theater in Columbus Ohio, which was the subject of the a recent Columbus Flickr Meet, with over 40 Flickr folks from the Central Ohio area converging to hang out, and photograph this beautiful theater.
NOTE: This photo made it into Flickr's 'Explore" as one of the top five hundred most interesting photos on a particular day, which makes me somewhat sad as the actual resulting photos didn't make it, ha! You can see all of my photo's that have made it into the Flickr Explore pages here.
A quick snap of downtown Columbus... there was a quick impromptu Flickr meet up, I took only five photos, this was the only one I was somewhat okay with... If I wouldn't have rushed it I would have walked down further and gotten a better angle, oh well... next time. I think this photo is best viewed large.
I haven't shot that much for just recreationally as I've been busy with other stuff in life and shooting for a couple of weddings, and other client projects. I need to get out more and just shoot for the fun of it.

Koppelpoort, Amersfoort.
The Koppelpoort is a medieval gate in the Dutch city of Amersfoort, province of Utrecht. Completed around 1425, it combines land and water-gates, and is part of the second city wall of Amersfoort, which was constructed between 1380 and 1450.
The gate was built between 1380 and 1425 as part of the second city wall. The whole wall was completed around 1450. The gate was attacked in 1427 during the siege of the city. This attack was repelled.
The gate was opened and closed every day by the appointed raddraaiers, "wheel-turners". A minimum of twelve wheel-turners were collected morning and evening by several guards. It was an extremely dangerous task; if they did not begin walking simultaneously, then one could fall, dragging the rest along with often fatal results. Before the gate could come down, it had to be raised, to pull out the iron pins that held it in place. Only then could it come down. While the gate was going down, walking in the wheel grew ever easier and faster, and many people stumbled and broke their limbs. The koppelpoort was also never breached.
The Koppelpoort was given its current appearance during the restoration by Pierre Cuypers in 1885 and 1886. Among other things, Cuypers removed a step between the two gates and replaced it with a slope.
From 1969 to 1993 a puppet theater was situated in the gate.
The latest restoration was completed in 1996. It was carried out very cautiously, and with respect for the old building materials. For this the town of Amersfoort received the Europa Nostra Award.
A couple of months ago, before heading home from Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, I decided to check out Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming. I spent about an hour exploring, but it definitely wasn’t enough. I’d love to go back soon and dedicate a day or two to fully experience it.

Riding tram 28 has become one of Lisbon's most popular activities. It's a journey back in time, over hills and medieval streets, in vintage trams from the 1930s that are still part of the city's public transportation network.
Cloudy early morning, Zaanse Schans.
Although the clouds looked very threatening, fortunately it remained dry.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving yesterday. I went back to one of my favorite schoolhouses after finishing my Thanksgiving dinner. There were some rumors that the owner planned to demolish it, which started about three years ago. Some said it was just a hoax. I’m glad it’s still standing.
The schoolhouse is located in Polk County.
Clouds over the well known cheese farm at The Zaanse Schans. This time with a lot of clouds for a different mood and still water for some nice reflections.
