Thanks Southwest Airlines...

... recent flights to and from Buffalo, Baltimore and St. Louis were very nice to me. Here is some photographic fun during the BWI-BUF-BWI leg of my journey.

All done with the Canon 5DmkII and the 24-105mm f4L (my walk-around Lens). This was an experiment in reflections, flare and glare, exposure modes and some vibrancy/contrast manipulation in Aperture.

Gordon's Stoplight Drive In...

... the best burger joint in the world (and my third favorite place to eat).

The Mess (band)...

... I finally caught Rob Meyer in a band.   They (The Mess) rocked the bar (The Office) in Crystal City, MO (my home town).

Poor lense choice and bad placement of the 580ExII flashes triggered with pocket wizards.  Very crowded, bland bar walls and bar lighting as well so twas not easy.   This was the best I came up with and all required a fair amount of processing.   Vignetting was the only thing I could do in Aperture to make them pop.
