Barack Obama's Visit to B-More

Pics!

I showed up at 10:15AM, waited in line until 1PM, then waited for Obama to come out until 4:30PM in 20 degree weather. It was well worth it!

Great pics!

I was going to go, but I had class until 3:45 and it's quite a long taxi ride from JHU to Town Hall.

Your pics really make me wish I could have gone with my 40D and 70-210 lol

Just curious though, how long of a lens were you using?

Super!

#213 is my favorite.

I was using a 70-200 f/4L. I had an amazing spot dead-center about 30 people back from the front.

Nice job. How did you stay warm enough waiting that long?

2 pairs of socks, boots, long johns, jeans, 2 shirts, 2 coats, gloves & a skull cap. Ta da!

crazy man, heh. Though, who am I to say, I'm going to trek into DC on Tues, mostly to try and capture the atmosphere. I'm not going to even try otherwise, heh.

Great job getting the spot! Now you just need to do some post on them to get them looking better.

What do you suggest?

All images were color corrected, tweaked with levels, had contrast added and were sharpened.

If you'd like an original to toy around with, pick one and I'll send it over to you. I'm always looking for ways to make my pics better.

Really nice shots! Back 'em up several times, that's a little piece of history you'll want to preserve.
