Shootin' The Sinks

Uploaded: March 19, 2012

Description

Some can, some can't. Quite a few of the group, those less experienced, decided it was wiser to walk their rigs around than to attempt to go through. While a little envious of those that did, there was certainly a spirit of encouragement and camaraderie among all. I was content enough to watch, enjoy, and take shots :).

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS REBEL T3i
