Waiting For a Bigger Breeze

Yesterday, I spent Memorial Day morning searching for a decent picture at the Huntsville Madison County Veterans Memorial Park.  I had a composition set up at the main entry to the park, right after sunrise.  Everything was perfect, except there wasn't enough wind to make the big (30 x 50 ft.?) flag fly.  But I was right next to a bunch of normal-sized flags that were waving in the breeze so I pointed the camera towards them (without moving my tripod) and fired off a hundred frames or so while I waiting for a bigger breeze.  They came out better than I expected.  So, now I know where I can get a decent U.S. flag picture when I need one in a hurry.
