I found this thread started on the DPS site and thought it might be of interest to the Forums members planning on attending the U.S. Presidential Inauguration:

How to Photograph Obama’s Inauguration - What Would You Do?

I'd record it on TV

Thanks for the link Mithrander. Most of it amounts to what mel and I already decided. Shoot the crowds and if we get lucky enough to get one of Obama we'll count that as a bonus.

We do realize it gonna be harder to get into town that getting into Mordor, but we are up to it... LOL

Good luck to both of you. There will probably be more Orcs around than for Sauron's Birthday Party.

I'm mainly hoping for not super freezy cold that day. I don't like wearing lots of bulky stuff when i'm trying to shoot.

The Bush administration has declared a State of Emergency in DC in regards to the crowds expected to visit for the Inauguration:

Bush grants federal aid for Obama inauguration

Wow.

$75M for that.

That is really sad...we're diving head-long into recession, and they wanna blow $75M on an inauguration.

Sad times indeed.
