Challenge: Off-Screen Expectation (Basic Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Location: Oktibbeha County Courthouse
Date: Mar 8, 2004
Aperture: 4.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Black and White, Photojournalism
Date Uploaded: Mar 8, 2004

 Taken at the Oktibbeha County Courthouse with help of good lawyer friend Austin. We rounded up innocent bystanders and coworkers and told them to look shocked. Well, I don't like the results, but it's a learning process. It is harder than you think to get a herd of people to show a good emotion!

Used Photoshop to desaturate, crop, and adjust contrast.

Too much expression by the jury. None the less, a fair photo.

Great capture and it dosent matter if its real or a setup. Expecially like the expression of the face of the guy on the right and also the woman to the left. Seems sharp and well focused and you start wondering whats happening of-screen. Very good.

Good reactions in this shot, although the lighting is rather flat. But it does make me wonder what are they looking at! Nice job!

Hilarious - especially the asian guy on the end and the guy in glasses in the second row. Must've had a giggle encouraging them.
