Or do you have one of those fancy very expensive cameras like the guy sitting next to me had?
D/W did not seem to care about anything. Their exhibition was the worst last night when compared with other skaters.
What kind of camera do you have? I love taking photos when I go to concerts and such (and I'm planning on attending Nationals in 2012) so I'd love to have a great camera.
Great pics! I think you folks pretty well summed up SA Portland. I would only add that Rachael was the only skater that deserved an explosive standing ovation. I have no idea how she went out there with pain from her foot to her knee and did that program, after experiencing tendonitis myself. I just hope she heals fast. Tendons can take a long time to heal up.
Btw, how did Rachael do in the gala event afterwards?, which was scheduled to start at 5PM. Did she skate to her hearbreakingly beautiful number "I Wanna Hold Your Hand"? by the Beatles, but sung by a guy from the t.v. series Glee.
And Caroline Zhang, what did she skate to? Thanks for your answers in advance.
As regards cameras, I was honestly surprised to see that flash photography was allowed. I think this does an injustice to the skaters. It blinded me when I saw it, so I can just imagine what it must do to the skaters, competition can be won or lost by being blinded by a bright flash.
It is Nikon D700 + 70-200/2.8 VR. It's kind of risky to bring this equipment to events where it's unclear if they are allowed. This is why I din't bring it with me on Saturday, because I thought they would not let me in.
But then I saw people with their DSLRs and big lenses everywhere, so I brought mine on Sunday.
Here is the link to the entire gallery. Hopefully the server will let me post it. Feel free to comment in the boxes under the pictures. I am a passionate hobbyist and comments of others are my biggest reward!

Whereas Alexe Gilles was sitting in our section, but way up above us, once again my niece noticed her as we were leaving.
