i agree. OP, whilst the 1.4 is awesome and you obviously want to exploit it, a larger depth of field (f.11) would have also worked quite nicely on a lot of those, particularly this one

too dark for f11. tops, maybe f4-8, but that's pushing it

ITT: visual campaign hagiography.

All these (both DC's and the Palin ones) are fine as images, but they're pretty uncritical political texts. The PR departments of Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin would be glad to use all of these. It's like Burt Glinn's photographs of the Cuban Revolution.

The exception is>>286093, which oddly is the only meh picture DC delivered.

With regards to the depth of field thing, I do think the shallow depth of field is an effective technique here; besides isolating some particular thing to serve as a symbol it's just part of DC's usual style, which he's a master at applying.

Oh, and DC, did you get credentials somehow or did you just get there really early to get this close and level to the stage?

Nah. The press box was right to the right of the speaker. I didn't have the desire or credentials to go there, instead just walked around in a semicircle snapping pictures.

Just wondering; I saw the press box over there in the background and wondered if they had another one on the other side or something.

like his stuff or not (i'm not crazy about it), to depressed cheesecake's credit he at least manages to consistently get technically excellent shots in very difficult conditions. i'm sure it was pretty fucking dark in there, and yet all of his shots are sharp and colorful.

seriously, a lot of photographers (probably myself included) would have walked out of this situation with blurry, dark photos. his shots at the state fair were similiarly impressive.

Obama = shot within a year.

McCaine = steps down or heart attack within two.

Who will you vote for in 2012?

A fair number of guns are inherited, some of which are old enough to be off the record even.

The south can really, really hate when they want to, and only takes one of them to do it. There's still a fair bit of the white superiority sentiment in the American South that will not be able to handle being led by Obama.

>here's still a fair bit of the white superiority sentiment in the American South that will not be able to handle being led by Obama.

Which is why what the McCain campaign is doing is so damned irresponsible. On top of racism, you're going to have millions of people who think their president is a closet Muslim socialist terrorist, or whatever, and that's going to be a big problem for Obama. He's going to have to govern some people who have been led by whoever, and nudged by the McCain-Palin campaign, to literally believe he's the physical embodiment of the antithesis of their god.

Are you actually denying that? He didn't say
"all", he just said "fair amount". I don't think that's deniable, at all. You might argue that there's similar amounts up North, but that still doesn't discount the aforementioned racism levels of the South.
