WI_Obama_Barack_Khl08_1363w

Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama spoke to a crowd of 18,400 at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin.

Lighting info: Nikon SB26 direct flash about 80 feet to left rear, taped to a railing, at full power, fired by pocket wizards. Worked great til I killed the batteries. I was surprised that out of 20+ shooters I was the only one who used a strobe. More (and better) shots are here: mfrphoto.blogspot.com/2008/02/obamarama.html

They didn't have rules against strobes? Or maybe it was just really well lit and nobody else wanted to?

I saw the other shots via your blog yesterday, great work.

I think Secret Service and the UWPD had too much to worry about to notice a little flash taped to a railing.

I can imagine the headline now... "Photographer arrested after rally-goers report a strange electronic device with blinking lights to a railing"
