Graduation

Hi. This is Columbia University's Graduation. My wife graduated with her Master of Public Health. I was all over the place trying to get a good location. Didn't have much choice but to use the 70-200. Sun, shade, tungsten, flourescent and flash, I used them all. The mix of lighting under the tent was a challenge and showed why you want to get somewhere early or a day prior to get a feel for lighting condition possibilities.

good pictures - and congratulations to your wife. Try shooting RAW next time and you won't have to worry about your WB. When you PP your pictures, you can adjust your WB and EV.

Again Congrats.

Thanks!

I did change RAw settings for, 4, 5, and 9. #9 I changed EV to -1. 4 and 5 I changed WB. I saw a benefit of not spending hours correcting images later, but I can see it being a benefit to just worry about getting the pics at shooting time.
