Rosa Parks March

Rosa Parks March, originally uploaded by blazinhispazian.

Someone came into the office last night and said there were people marching down Adams Street. Having my camera, I ran out and shot it. Must've been a little after 8pm.

Spotted the police lights and had to run down to Western Ave. (1 minute run) to catch up with em. There were a lot more people than I expected. Had a police escort and everything. I asked one of the men marching and he told me it was the African American Students Association or something similar. Not sure why the march was about Rosa Parks. If this was a real assignment, I'd do my resarch of course.

I think this is one of the only shots that came out. Color wasn't too great so I desaturated it. Tried some panning stuff but don't think it would've fit with the event. Focusing with that 50mm f/1.8 is brutal in low light. Can't wait for that 430EX Flash to come in!

Anyways, basketball double header tonight starting at 6 going to about 10 or 11 tonight. Gonna be a busy one. Better get my cards cleared and batteries charged.

P.S. - Off camera flash is freakin awesome!! Still learning it...
