Beloit: Gateway to Wisconsin [DSC_5897 Crop 1]

            One that I missed from the other night. Edited slightly different than the others. Two crops: 2x3 and Square.
---------------- 
Arrived home at 10:30pm last night, after riding to the stadium to try photographing the Beloit Sky Carp postgame drone show. Challenging shooting conditions for an old DSLR guy with two cataracts and single 35mm lens. I'd barely looked at the photos when I realized that I was operating on 5½ hours sleep from the night before. 

I wanted to get the launch with the "Home Sweet Home" sign in it. That put me in the crew's safety area, but I stayed well away, and talked them into letting me shoot there. I explained that I'd leave the area immediately, having scouted ahead of time, because I wanted to photograph the show with the Beloit watertower in the field of view. (Have I mentioned how handy it is to ride a bike for event photos?) I was lucky, too, as the view was skewed, but not so much that you can't see what the lights in the sky were drawing. And this way it's not just a drone show, but a drone show IN BELOIT! 

Here are some of the highlights, including a few photos of my scouting the stadium and the drone crew getting things ready to launch.
