Good photo, be sure to title it "Assignment: News Photography" or it won't count!

It always pays to have your camera with you. Great shot .

This picture was taken at the opening of the new Nationals Park in Washington, DC on March 30th. President Bush threw out the first pitch, which made for long security lines at the entrance and plenty of protestors advocating for a big "booooooo."

I keep my point and shoot strapped to my belt all day every day

"Take your camera everywhere you go, in bed, in Gorki Park, in a propeller-driven airplane or in the launderette: you grab your camera and everything around you starts to vibrate with life, be prepared, keep you camera close at hand and ready for action everywhere and all the time."

Okay, so I posed them, but only after seeing this exact pose naturally hundreds of times! I wish they didn't look so rough, but that's what a full day of school does to an eight year old and a six year old!

nice one.. btw, i think you missed an 'S' in "News" in your title. better change it to make to valid for this assignment

Exposure: 0.012 sec (31/2500)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Nice shot! I like your choice of processing for this one. And while it may be more "newsworthy" than your other idea, you should do the bathroom scene anyway and tell your boyfriend that those crazy photo nuts online liked your idea . . .
