    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!!!

    "Wind?" You military guys sure have a funny word for bullets...

    Setup was a Canon 5D w/70-200 f/2.8L IS or 16-35 f/2.8L Wide angle Zoom. At one point a buddy came w/his 100mm Prime and we swapped lenses so he could get some closeups.

    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...

    Awesome pictures tipp.

    I was just listening to an interview with yoyo ma, and he was saying that they were not actually playing during their inaugural performance. It was prerecorded audio, they used resin on the cello strings, and disconnected the hammers from the piano to make sure they didn't make any sound (I guess the guy with the clarinet just doesn't blow)

    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.

    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.
    Ma's primary performance instrument is the Domenico Montagnana 1733 cello built in Venice and nicknamed Petunia. This cello, more than 270 years old and valued at US$2.5 million, was lost in the fall of 1999 when Ma accidentally left the instrument in a taxicab in New York City.[6] It was later recovered undamaged.

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