Great photo. Barack Obama's facial expression really makes this photo. Good job.

[Chris_PA]

I love the totally opposite facial expressions

Clean photo man

[Omar_MSP]

nice shot! i wish i could have seen him in person.

[The Captain]

Do you have rights to the photos or does the school? Presidential candidate photos are in pretty high demand right now, obviously, and that looks really good.

[BradC]

very good shot, was this televised? if so. it explains the perfect lighting.

great work man

[TROLL]

yeah lighting is really nice and so is the exposure... you captured a nice moment too. well done...

[sisforsurfing]

TV studio lights are what's up. Nice shot, good exposure. Every expression is great and really adds to the shot... except the girl all the way to the right. I'd probably crop her out.

[ToyotaTat]

great pic, nice timing too w/ barack's face

[lagos]

Lol at the chick in the blue shirt. Everyone is paying attention, and shes just lost in her own world.

i never really thought about it but i would assume that i do. i wouldnt even know where to try sending the pic to anyone that might be interested in it

great work man

yea it was a live event and the lighting for tv definitely made it a lot easier


and bump for new pics

[Tigawoods]

i was watching for a while, tried to catch some familiar faces but failed

[cszakolczai]

Those pictures are awesome and like someone said, I'm sure some newspaper is looking for a good picture of him. Really nice pictures.

[ITSTOCK]

The pictures look almost too good??? (is that possible?) Actually, they look kind of 2 dimensional after looking at them, I can't tell if I'm watching it on TV, or there in person.

This picture looks like a caricature!

thats one of the best things ive heard that they are too good. the way they had the grid lighting up top for the show really helped make the pictures feel like you're sitting right in front of him listening to them talk. thanks

and that one pic does kinda like like a caricature, its a little blurry and i guess the way the curves, color balance, and sharpen in the batch made it look goofy like that. might have to go back and try to re-edit that one

[james_ls]

The first picture kicks ass man.

[BradC]

Your added shots are great too man. Keep up the good work!

[raceMpower95]

They look really good. They have a nice feel even for photo journalistic shots. I assume you shot these with the 70-200 2.8?

That's what I figured. Update your sig. Don't you have Scott's 20D now or something?

[b0rN Fr0m JeTs]

lol yeah i do. Oh well. I'm picking up a 135 ƒ/2 L soon too...i'm psyched

SICK! You'll have to let me know how you like that/let me check it out. I'm looking into getting a new portrait lens. It's between that or if I want to spend the money on the 85mm f/1.2L. After seeing that one guy's thread about it, I'm really tempted to save up for one.

[b0rN Fr0m JeTs]

haha yeah that was me next choice if i wanted to save. but i'm need something on the longer end of the focal range. i've got the nifty as my biggest zoom lol. loving the 17-40L still though. it'll be a decent combo of lenses when i get the 135L. after the 135 i'm just gonna get an 85mm 1.8
