Obama election night in Grant Park

[kbev]

Hey everyone,
I wasn't sure which forum was the right one to post on, but I had the opportunity to be in Grant Park on election night and got a few photos of the crowd (and Obama, from a distance) that I thought I'd share.

I like to shoot street and people "in the moment". This was a great night for that. That God the D300 can "go high" on the ISO. To me, street photos feel more "real" without a flash...

I have the whole gallery on my smugmug site, but don't know about the etiquette of posting my site on this forum. 8-)

Comments and critiques are certainly welcome...

(PS - Embedding photos turned out to be easier than I made it... talk about overcomplexicating things :D )

Numbers 2, 3, and the last one ROCK - talk about capturing the emotion of the moment!:thumb.

P.S. - FWIW (and I have no authority here:D) I don't think there's an issue with posting these photos - You're not making a political statement.

P.S.S. - I don't think there's an issue with posting a link to your gallery.

gaWOW. 3, 4 and 6 are just incredible. Fantastic captures!

I agree with the others...all are great but 3,4 and 6 really stand out as documenting the moment and the emotions.
