Thanks guys, I really appreciate these responses!
Whty, there is a meet this weekend at 10 at the HyVee off of Clinton (23rd/Kasold). Come out there, and if you want we could snap some shots then. Let me know earlier so I can get the tripod/or not. Plus I gotta clear the card and think of some new spots that are well lit (or if you have any, speak up!).
