Hillary supporters
I took this photo of Sen. Clinton at TBA this year, and I really like it.
Thought you might also.

1. IMO, its not a very good picture of Clinton.. but its nice to see a photo

that hasn't been so processed. And its nice to see a pic where her mouth is shut for once. A lot of neg. Clinton articles and news stories use pics of her mouth wide open... And it puts a thought of "loud mouth witch" in people's mind set... Subtle things they do to advertise at us.

2. Oh, well thanks.
I like it. I think it's authoritative.
Of course, I'm no professional.

3. Its not authoritative because the lighting isn't contrasted enough.
Its a good candid photo, but not one you would see on the business journal saying "here's our girl". Also, you want to take photos of your best side. She is normaly slightly turned for photos. Straight on and her age begins to show and the eyes look tired and puffy.. same with the men. These people are getting no sleep running back and forth. It tough to go literally all day from one venue to another. So, most people photo better with a profile or slight profile. Think of that twit, paris.. she always turns to create the best photo. Princess Diana was one of the best to photo... she always seemed to capture the light and the angle just right.. often, photographers only needed one shot.

4. I'm not a professional.
I just took her pic at a conference.
Guess you missed the earlier (locked) post.
Oh, well. I tried. Thanks for the tips.

6. Its a good candid.. a picture that we won't normally see. I think its good
because its not manipulated... Some of your favorite family photos aren't the one's up on display for your house guests.. they're the one's of special moments and funny faces.... It nice to see her like this.. its not as stiff and not as authoritative.. I don't need another dictator. Its a good softer side moments that makes her more human. AND you like it.. that's the only thing that counts in the end. Your memories of that day, the excitement, the speech... the picture help bring the vivid memory to the forefront... good stuff.

I'm not a prof.. I took some classes and had to learn about this stuff.. and I took a class that had us look at ads and pics and define the subliminal messages.. and boy they are in every published peice... some of the best are in political ads... the other's in commercials-- quick flashes that bring the message in.. cool to study... crappy to know that they really work.
