More News

So these are kinda old but I think they are worth the wait.

The first news assignment i want to talk about is a police training that took place in OSH it was scheduled to start at 10 and go until 2. So just before 10 me and Ana went over to OSH but saw no one but the janitors so we waited and waited killed some time by having some fun after about an hour and a half the police showed up. I think they had some classroom training before they came to OSH. Well once they came they went through some dry runs with their fingers drawn.

After that they got out their air soft guns and started the shooting. I got some good shots I feel I and as it went on I started to get the pattern of the training so it got easier to shoot because I could predict what they were going to do. My best shot came from me lying on the stairs so that I was in front of them and then lowered my camera as low as I could get it so I was shooting up towards their faces as they moved down the stairs. One of the patters that developed was they would talk about how the run went after they finished so we had some down time that Ana took advantage of by doing her own drill.

The next shoot was not as exciting I just want some input from everyone about this photo. The story was ASUU was limited in their rule book that they could only give $5,000 to student groups but last year they gave Crimson Nights like $50,000. So they were debating on whether or not to make an exception to the rule they debated for about an hour and this picture show how I was feeling during the meeting.







So I thought I had a few options for my shot I could do a speaker shot a very attractive option, but I was not going to use one of them. I could do a shot of a representative reading over the details about the issues. Or the third option a shot of the vote.Or this option after some of the first proposals for giving them $20,000 of $15,000 were shot down I watched some of the reactions and on the last proposals of $8,000 failed Tanya Tapp, associate director of operations for Crimson Nights, looked to the sky in disappointment. This is the photo I chose to use because I was editing that night but I want to get some other thoughts.

Did this work?

Would one of my other shots worked better?

Should I of done something different?Just let me know what your thoughts are.

I would've liked to see some more creative angles (to be critical). Like what about the stairs shot low and super wide so you get one persons shoes all up close and the next person's face and gun and eveything's framed by the railings.
