Description

....to the out-of-town folks that attended the BP event last weekend. I want to thank Dennis, Kitty, Nikki, and Tammy for all the help they provided in organizing the event. And especially to the 20+ people that called Omaha their home last weekend...what a fun time we had!

Infrared photograph of the Gene Leahy outdoor mall. And, this is a real reflection!!

Another view. #748842

Nikki McDonald September 28, 2007

Just super, Ken! The clarity is amazing and the vertical crop really emphasizes it though I love the horizontal version, too. If this had been in your gallery when the Chamber of Commerce looked through it, it would have been on the "pick definitely" list for sure. #4856244

Ken, this is an amazing photo. I really like the orange tones in the sky that the IR helps to pick up. I might have to consider getting my 10D converted to IR after seeing what you've done with yours.
Thank you for putting together the shoot, everything went great and I really enjoyed the opportunity to meet and work with other photographers. It was a great group! #4857799
