Little shoot at Stilly's - Nov 15th
A few of us WA guys on PyroU threw around the idea of a casual little get-together a few weeks ago and were able to make something happen on Saturday.
Frank was there, friendly and helpful as usual. I bought two Big Fireworks 500g cakes, Wide Angle and Airstrike, two Great Grizzly cakes marked as "360 gram", What's Up Dog and Vendetta, and Texas Gunslinger (Red Rhino) and Twinkling Web (Forward). While still in the store I missed a bunch of shells, they didn't wait for us! I hurriedly finished up inside and got over to the field in time to see some Critical Acclaim mines.
[Videos of most cakes shot are in my PyroU gallery, I assume just about everyone reading this is registered there, so I'll only embed a couple highlights for the lazy.]
I was very happy with most of what I shot. Bada Bing was kind of weak but I had low expectations for that one anyway. After seeing a video that looked good, I was rather disappointed by What's Up Dog, but really liked Vendetta (both GG). Seeing a properly functioning Dahlias & Bouquets was nice, it appears the one I shot at the reception was fused wrong as well as not fiing the last row, the mines do all fire before the first shell volley. The effects on Heavy Metal are a little different from the last time I shot it, but it still looks great. I really liked both Airstrike (nice effects and spread) and Wide Angle (still frame above). Here are a couple videos, everything can be found in my gallery.
