From: "Christine Aguila"
Hi Everyone:
I shot a political event/fundraiser tonight as a friendly favor; I didn't
really have a good night of it--I've got a cold & don't feel my best, but
that wasn't the biggest frustration--it's all those in-the-way balloons and
decorations, bad lighting, boring microphone shots, trying to isolate folks
for some good pics, ugly, ugly walls and backgrounds--etc, etc. Anyway,
this pic of our governor, Pat Quinn, is what it is, but if anyone has any
advice for shooting events, I'd be grateful.

The primary is next Tuesday. After I took this picture, the governor said,
"well, young lady, you got me." I was grateful he referred to me as young.
Just remember "vote early ... and vote often."
Something you might try in these situations is to dial the flash back to
one stop under (-1) and/or bounce it off the ceiling to soften it.
