10,000 Flags

For Memorial Day this Monday, they placed 10,000 flags on display of the State Capitol grounds.

This is a 30 sec exposure (exposed on the building) while I used a flash from my other camera to light the flags

The second one (re-post) by far. Not only did you get more detail out of the building but the colors now really pop. Well done in using the flash from your second camera to light the foreground.

Nominated.

Thanks. I think if some one saw me doing what I was doing, they probably thought I had lost my mind. I probably took 15-20 flashes with my other camera to get this. I was just walking back and forth behind my mounted camera, just holding the flash camera over my head. I'm sure it looked funny. My wife was there. She asked me what the hell was I doing. LOL

Your are welcome. That was great thinking. By the way how do you link the picture in the nomination to the original post.
