I got home earlier this evening and began going through the 300+ shots I took today at my daughters Commencement Ceremony at St. Lawrence University. My big mistake was when I left my Sigma 70-300 and Takumar 200/4 in the car in another bag. I didn't have time to run back so I shot most of my shots with an M 135/3.5, a little short for where I was shooting from. I had to crop some but that little lens performed like a champ!

As I mentioned, the photo is cropped. Thats my mistake of the day for not having the right lens. This crop is mostly an equal, all around the frame crop of the origional. The intended center of attention is my daughter getting her degree. The guys standing in front are the hired photographers the college brings in. In the earlier shots, my daughter had her head turned a little and I was wanting a face shot. It's quite a large collection of people on the stage. Here is the shot before and the un-cropped origional. I'm certainly open to suggestions.
