    Sorry if there's a thread for this already, I certainly didn't see one in my quick perusal.

    Had a pretty good vantage point in the crowd coupled with a decent zoom so I got some nice ones myself!

    Here are a few of my shots. I had a good spot standing on the platform of the fountain which is in the center of College Green.

    I learned a few things about shooting speeches. Firstly, don't shoot while the subject is actually speaking. It looks crap, and waste space on your CF card.

    My favourite shot of the day. Mr and Mrs. Obama taking to the stage.

    Fantastic shots, especially the one of the Obamas walking out onto the stage. Great work!

    Thanks! I wish I'd had your vantage point for the speech itself. The bullet-proof glass really robbed contrast and clarity.
