New Orleans' Streets for Sugar Bowl 09

jonh68

I went to the 2009 Sugar Bowl which featured the Utah Utes and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Being a Tide fan, I was disappointed in the game. Utah came to play and the Tide just showed up. Here's some shots from the streets before the game. I used my D700 and 17-35, and 70-300 G. I need to straighten out some of the horizons and couple of other things, but I was happy with the results and I wanted to really test the active d lighting and my 17-35 that I just bought used graded as BGN by KEH. On a sidenote, I was able to get 1/250 ss at ISO 200 for the shot of the inside of the superdome. That thing is lit well!

Yup.....looks like home sweet home!


Being an LSU fan can't really sympathize with the loss. j/k


All joking aside I was let down that SC lost their bowl game...and stunned that Bama got thoroughly whipped as well. I was hoping the SEC would have made a stronger showing.

Looks like it was a wild weekend down there....thanks for sharing!

It could be worse. Bama could have had a season like LSU!

I am dissapointed too. Bama let the SEC down.

I hear ya...

LSU woulda had a much better season if they hadn't beat themselves in so many games. Hopefully they will settle in on the better of the 3 QBs and we can have some better luck next year.

I pull for all SEC teams come bowl time!

SEC football is great. I could tolerate having season tickets for just about any team in the SEC, except for Auburn of course. It has been a down year, but UF can make it a memorable one for the SEC.
