Mustangs and Tampa’s Sunset Cinema

My girlfriend, Suzette and I recently went to the Tampa Theatres Sunset Cinema to watch Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid under the night sky. What an amazing venue first off, second, if you're going to bring your camera anywhere make sure the battery is charged. I don't have any photos of the cinema setup itself because somehow  I brought the wrong (nearly dead) battery pack.

On our way into Downtown Tampa we passed a small classic car show and decided to stop in and snap a few photos. The red 65 Mustang below gave me a little inspiration for my 68 restoration project.

When we got to the Sunset Cinema Theatre in Downtown Tampa, Bank of America was passing out red balloons to the kids. Which for a theatrical situation seems like a really poorly thought out idea, seeing as the organizers of the event told everyone to all but get rid of them before the film started. We probably single handedly killed a thousand sea turtles that day. But, it made for some pretty cool photos. For the following shots I was fully zoomed to 300mm at about f/4.

For this next one I was sitting in the middle of the grassy park area in Downtown Tampa with skyscrapers all around. This photo was taken at 18mm f/3.5 ISO 400ish shooting into the front element of my 70-300mm.
