Talking Heads
City commission meetings are truly a challenge for a photographer - especially when your shot will be running front and center the next day.
OSU is parading their "Master Plan" around town like the belle of the ball. I've shot at least three of these events in the last few months, and the usual suspects have been in attendance at all of them. It's been challenging to come up with a fresh angle. I concentrated more on the audience this time and came up with this.
For some reason, this guy's cocked head juxtaposed with the stern face in the background struck me. I was able to keep the background clean, luckily.
The lighting here was difficult. The dim overhead fluorescents required I shoot at ISO 1000, which is never good. Using a flash wasn't practical, as I was so far away from the commissioners. On the whole, though, I made it work.
