Looking for a pic @ Arlington of the bugler silhouetted in front of the Custis-Lee

mansion, with the lightening in the background. I know you all know which scene I'm referring to -- I just can't seem to find any photos. I will be ETERNALLY grateful for any help! :hi:

:hi:

I asked earlier today - no luck. :-(

Let's hope DU's evening crowd knows where to find it.

On edit: Several newspapers have photos at Arlington, but none had that pic. I was very surprised. It's such a beautiful and inspiring scene!

4. I'll just keep posting and looking -- and let you know if I score!

My brother and sister-in-law didn't watch, weren't all that interested, but I told by brother about that scene. I heard him telling my sister-in-law about it and frankly I was surprised, so I'd like to get it so he can see what I was trying to describe. If it comes to it, I do have it recorded so I can show it to them, but I'd still like to have a photo. :hi:

5. Thanks! If I find it, I'll let you know.

That scene - and the timing of the lightning - gave me such a good feeling. I'd really like to have it. :-)

7. Now don't laugh, but if it's on YouTube is there a way to capture the scene

and get a decent looking photo?

I really really really would like to have it, too!

11. If it was a high-quality video, getting a good picture would be possible

Silly me, I've been looking for the photo ... never thought of looking for a video.

13. I've got it on my DVR -- any idea how to get it off there and into a picture

frame on our desks? :7

17. You need to have a video capture card on your computer

Then you connect the DVR to the computer and copy the video. I have a capture card, but I don't have the video, LOL!

18. Damn! I think my brother has a vid capture card, but his is an iMac -- not

a laptop (if that makes a difference :shrug). I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

Or.... there's got to be someplace on the internet where the thing is played in its entirety, don't you think? (We've become so accustomed to getting everything we want -- instantly!)

20. MSNBC had that shot during the live coverage ...

but so far, I haven't seen it in any of their online videos. :-(

I can't believe it hasn't been posted anywhere. It was a beautiful shot. Why wouldn't any of the news organizations have it? :shrug:

22. Well, would you mind getting on a plane and coming out to Seattle with

your laptop? With my DVR and your video capture card, I think we've got it covered. Let me know your ETA -- see you soon!

16. Okay -- read my post below that says "look at this" (or whatever I said) -- is

that the shot we're looking for? The very last second?

Awaiting your verdict. :7

6. Oooooh, Peggy -- it's THIS CLOSE!

I would guess that the scene I'm referring to was just a little later. It was really dark, the front of the mansion was illuminated and the sky was black, almost. Then it exploded in light, just over the hill. I'm getting chills again just picturing it in my mind. I sure hope you got a chance to see it -- did you??

I'll also check YouTube to see if anyone posted that part.

Thank you SO MUCH for your help! And I hadn't seen those pics that Hissyspit had posted -- absolutely breathtaking. Thank you and Hissyspit!! :pals:

10. Of all the luck, I found a video of almost all of it on YouTube -- from

Edited on Mon Aug-31-09 12:16 AM by gateley

Fox News! I didn't listen to it so I don't know if they were yammering over it, but it looks like the same video feed that I saw on MSNBC and that CNN seemed to have.

So check it out, and imagine, after the bugler is finished, the camera pulls back, and off to the right, glows seem to come from the ground -- as a matter of fact, I at first thought it was from a gun salute for the Senator, but everybody said it was lightening :shrug:

:hi:

edit -- oops, wanted to give you the link to the vid on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_OcVQXK36I

12. Almost! I'm going to go hunt for video and maybe get a screen shot --

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Peggy: did you get a chance to see it? I hope so!

Thanks so much!!! I'll keep you posted. :hi:

14. Okay people -- look at this.

A beautiful compilation of shots from the memorial service, funeral and burial -- about 2.5 minutes long. The very last shot, I THINK, is the one I'm looking for -- look over to the far lower right, and you can see the sky lit up.

What do you think??

19. That's the shot, but I didn't see any lightning

That's weird because I was watching MSNBC during the ceremony and I saw plenty of lightning.

21. At the very end, down in the lower right hand corner, it looks as though the

sky is illuminated from below -- almost like the shot ended just when the lightening started? I'm going to bed, maybe I'll see it better in the morning sans headache. :)

23. You're right ... I think the shot ended just as the lightning started.

:-(

I hope your head feels better in the morning. Goodnight! :hi:
