I got a lot of shots from all around the third floor (after ruunning from the security guards) and I'll see if I can get the posted soon.

Well, at least somebody got the shot. Once again, I'm extremely jealous. :p

the original is very cool. Would make a great 2000 piece jigsaw puzzel!

BTW, did you photoshop the brightness of the crowd - the latitude of the image is very good - usually the crowd is dark or the field is washed out. Im wondering if you tweaked the image to get the brightness more balanced?

What film did you use? (film speed?)

You can pretty much make out the yellow 1023 dots on our back (in the first floor, upper part of the section in front of the blue alliance).

Tim, What a great shot this is, nice job! You even placed a white baloon (2nd from left) right where team #1002 CircuitRunners and #365 Moe were sitting ;) Dave

And right in front of you is the small representation of the Bobcats, and the FEDS are right behind. If you look behind the right side of the ring of flags, you can also see our whole alliance trying to fix one of the robots.

I honestly can't find Waldo though. I see a lot of team 40, and I think I see one Waldo, but not a section of them.

And by one of the robots he means the 177 bot. I think I would be wandering on the field between the area of that 177 robot, and the gray curtain at this point in time, had it been a few matches later, or a little earlier I would probably be in the picture.

My dad Ed says that he shot 100asa film at 200. He didn't edit the picture at all. Maybe Tim did I'm not sure. :confused:

The photo is exactly how it came from those Costco 1 Hour Photo CDs you let me borrow. No touch-ups required, but I might play around with it some in the future (as I said beneath the picture, this would make a great poster). :)

Yes, there was a balloon operator who was sitting in the middle of MOE. He came and sat in the middle of our group before the Parade of the Division Winners began. A coordinator came over and was talking with him:

"Now, you know how to set the balloon off?"
The operator looked at the battery he was holding and the loose wire running down from the balloon to his hand.
"Yes."
"Okay. First you'll hear the confetti cannons and see the streamers coming down, then you set off the balloon."
"Okay."

So we kind of knew what was coming, cause you could see the confetti inside the balloon he was going to pop.

The coordinator left, and the balloon operator sat back and was listening to his MP3 player. I'm not sure if he started to doze off or not, but after the marching bands' 3rd or 4th loud drumbeat to start the parade, he set the balloon off thinking the drumbeats were actually the confetti cannons.

I don't think he will want that job again next year, cause all that aluminum confetti pretty much fell straight down on top of him, and he was brushing it out of his hair for most of the finals.
