thanks tipp those were amazing pictures!
"and his two beautiful daughters kate, and sssaaassshaaa"
Great pics. Thanks for sharing them. I was laughing at the captions.
Very cool... Nice images. I went to Nixon's inauguration and Kennedy's funeral (age 5), but Obama's inauguration is just incredible. I still remember the race riots in the sixties and MLK's assassination. So glad to see us finally get here!!!
Holy shit that glass is thick.
Epic TR.
What were you shooting with?
great shots from the best seats in the house. thanks, I really enjoyed that, probably more than watching it on tv.
Thank you. My wife is acquiring an interest in TGR.
That glass is that thick to keep the wind off of him. :nonono2:Quote:

You should see how much I cropped (digitally zoomed) in post - I'll post up an uncropped version of the swearing in pic when i get home. I gotta say i love this camera and the lenses are just sweeeeeeet.
Now to clean that sensor...
Cool pics !
Now, that's a perma-tan... (smiling guy behing Obama looks like a carrot)Quote:

Awesome Tipp, thanks for sharing that.
I for one am hugely disappointed regarding the recorded playback. These are world class musicians, some of my favorites, and yes, while the conditions were rough, I would have tolerated a less than perfect performance rather then a deceiving portrayal of one. It really pisses me off.
Nice work!
That must have been incredible.
And your view was definitely better than mine...

Read the article - it was colder than hell, and at the very least Perlman's violin and YoYo Ma's Cello could have suffered immensely. Since those two instruments aren't exactly easily replaced (likely antiques, and priceless) I'll gladly give them a pass.Quote:

21 degree temps aren't conducive to playing. Fingers don't work, instruments are out of tune...prerecorded was the right thing to do.Quote:
