It was a great experiencing being in the press section. Here's a picture I took during his speech.

I think it could be cropped tighter, but I like the sign and the audience holding the signs

Did you use a flash on this. It looks like it was pretty light even though the sun is behind him. Great shot. What school are you at?

Thanks for feedback, yeah about the subject... haha. There was no flash, but there was several mirrors and solar panel thingies to light him though. It was at University of Nevada, Reno.

Here's a picture of the lighting.

That's pretty neat, great lighting. Never underestimate the uses for a good reflector.... Your image is amazingly sharp and crisp, very nice job.
