No, I had planned on changing lenses and use my telephoto for stage separation and had it all planned out except for one thing. I had the lens on a table next to me but didn't think ahead of time of knowing where the spot was to line it up to lock onto the camera body and in the dark I couldn't get it locked on in time.

When I read the first post of what you planned - I thought it would be interesting to see the results
I could not imagine what these would be apart from maybe a spec in the distance

Wow - what an image you have - superb camera work and planning

Thanks for posting

In comparison to your backyard, mine is boring. :)

Good shooting

Oh how stunning! The treeline silouette lends nicely to the composition.
