The New Hotness

  • Color Guard Night Practice: Flags

    Another picture from the Arlington Marching Band competition at The Dome in Syracuse.

    These are flag twirls against portable mercury-vapor floodlights. The glare off that bare tree make the scene look just about as cold as it really was, even if it wasn’t icy.

    The camera picked 1/5 second for this exposure, although the translucent flags don’t show the same strobing as the bright-white rifles. I think the lower floodlight is the same one in the single-rifle picture.
