(f/9, 1/320 sec., ISO-200)Unfortunately, I had to take Monday and Tuesday off from the project, and, as you can see, I am very late in posting my pictures this week. School took precedence. However, on Wednesday, I was able to go to the tea party rally in Boston Common. I missed Sarah Palin (I heard the end of her speech, but because of the t.v. camera crews there, I couldn't see her) but I still got a look at all the people that turned up.
(f/9, 1/500 sec., ISO-200)I learned some valuable lessons on this adventure. First, as you will notice, all of my pictures are a bit blue. This was not for effect. This happened because I didn't stop to double-check the settings on my camera and I was in indoor mode instead of in sunshine mode. The two symbols on the camera look very similar and with my sunglasses on and the Canon's small preview screen I didn't realize my mistake until I got home. The lesson here is to stop and double, triple check. It's worth missing a few good photos to make sure you don't sacrifice the whole lot.
(f/9, 1/500 sec., ISO-200)The second lesson I learned was to stop and take in what I'm seeing. I spent the whole time there looking through the lens and didn't really soak in what was going on around me. I should have stopped, put down the camera, and sat down for 5-10 minutes just to get the lay of the land and see what was going on. Otherwise, how could I tell an effective - and accurate - story with my pictures?
(f/9, 1/500 sec., ISO-200)Third, I didn't get anyone's name. Stupid, rookie mistake. Taking pictures of people is tough for me. This will go away with practice, I'm confident.

practice and experience makes perfection more likely to reach. :)
