Big shot

Last weekend Fred, Valerie, Jim and I attended Jim's alma mater's Big Shot.  He is an RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) alumnus and so is Val, so together we four went to the campus, attended a lovely alumni picnic reception, then participated in the Big Shot which was actually on the campus and featured lighting some of the newest of buildings.  (See RIT.edu.bigshot for history of this event.)
Quite simply, the Big Shot is the evening lighting of a subject with camera flash and flashlights and photographing the subject using only this light.  Logically, lighting an entire building (actually two) and quad, required many hands holding these sources of light.....3000 people!  A photographic wonder!  By the time we returned home to Fred and Val's the finished product was up on the website!
Jim and I have attended before when the Smithsonian's Museum of American Indian History was photographed. The Alamo, Intrepid, Rochester's High Falls and Mt. Hope Cemetery are just a few challenges tackled in this way.
