Hello all,This is my first post to Dgrin and as such, I thought I'd open up with some pics I took last weekend at the huge Anti-war rally in SF. I'm very much intrigued with the style of PJ.
My equipment consided of:
D70s
Nikon 18-200
Tokina 12-24
Nikon 50 1.8
Most of the photos have not been postprocessed. Only some cropping done to bring out the subjects in some of the shots.
 I welcome your generous comments and constructive criticism.

    Nice selection
    I enjoyed your gallery. Two of the pictures you posted here didn't load for me. - You might want to check into that.

    I think some of the pictures you didn't attach here, carried better emotion than these, but I think the ones here all have decent composition, and carry a level of civility that should be present in protests. All in all good shoot though. It made me wonder why I went with Canon 20D instead of the Nikon line. Great Color, Great captures.
    Mine: Canon 20D, 50 f1.8 II, 28-105 II, 70-200 f2.8L, T 70-300 Macro, T 2X expander, 12-24 Sigma
    Hers: Sony SR10, (Soon Canon 5D MKII), 85 f1.8, 28-135 USM, Stroboframe, Manfrotto NeoTec
    Ours: Pair of 580 EX, Lensbaby, Studio Alien Bees, Son & TWO Daughters

    Welcome to Dgrin! And thanks for sharing these pictures. I have to agree: the one with the peace symbol on the face stands out as a very strong image. Well done!

    Great series!

    The first shot is improperly formatted in the IMG tag, and it's not showing up. You need to use the "forums" formatted link, like you did in the others.

    Nice work Loanguy. I agree with some previous comments. The gallery is really good with some stronger images. Streetwork is my favourite time with a camera.
    cheers

    Thank you all for your remarks. I'm looking not only to learn from my peers here but to also contribute.

    Incidentally, I attended the rally as an observer. My brother even remarked "What on earth would possess you to do that?! Shouldn't you be playing golf today" :)

    By the way, of all the shots I took that day (217), the shot of the girl with the peace symbol stickers on her face struck me as the most poignant.

    So much innocence in her eyes.

    Like someone said "F8 and I was there :)

    Peace and Godbless!
