Today’s image is another one I took while on our photo walk Cowboy Stadium.

In a previous post I made I was discussing not taking the same shot that everyone else takes.  So for this one I took my time.  I think almost everyone in our group took a picture of this statue, and I think it was the first thing most people shot when we got to the stadium.  I decided to take my time and think about it.  This ended up being one of the last shots I took before going inside.

Initially I was trying to catch a sun flare off the side of the building.  After a few failed attempts at that I decided that I hadn’t seen anyone lay on the ground and shoot up on Tom.  For this shot I was laying on my back and hand holding for an HDR exposure.  I had no idea how well it would work out till I could get home and see if I was steady enough to put the images together.

Turns out that I am very pleased with the end result.  Hope you enjoy.
