A week ago I went to the Austin Rowng Center, a non-profit organization the shores of Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas. It was a "first timers" class. I was just trying to stay out of the way and take a few photos.
These were taken right at sunset with my Canon 1Ds Mark III and 14mm f/2.8 lens. They are hand held, ISO 200, 1/320th, 1/80th, and 1/20th per second exposures at f/2.8. Auto bracketed at 1 2/3 stop separation, aperture priority. GPS coordinates
+30°15' 36.77"N, -97° 44' 32.09"W. These are assembled in
Photomatix and then saved as a 16bit TIF file and re-imported into
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.0. In the right hand image you can see the
Ann W. Richards Congress Avenue Bridge, a.k.a. "the bat bridge", where the
Mexican Free-tailed Bats hang out.

From the side of the Ann Richards Bridge (Congress Avenue) over Lady Bird Lake (formerly Town Lake) the Austin Rowing Club filled it's boats with picture perfect volunteers. The two ladies on the left were particularly photogenic just below me. 
A wide panorama of five images spanning almost 180 degrees. 25% of the net proceeds from the sale of the FLEET DAY photo on the right will go to the Austin Rowing Club as a contribution.
