Challenge: Celebration (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S30
Location: State College, Pa
Date: Oct 8, 2005
Aperture: f/2.8
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/80
Date Uploaded: Oct 9, 2005

 Biggest celebration I've ever been a part of. Penn State beat Ohio State 17-10. Fortunately there were no riots following the game, though students did storm the field.

Not the best picture, but I think it helps impart some of the excitement and the atmosphere of the stadium.

Adjustments: levels, curves, desaturate, border added, unsharp-mask, contrast, dodged out obscene word on one of the t-shirts.

Printed in the Collegian 10/25/07 (though they may have overlooked the shirt..)

Good choice for B&W conversion, with enough noise to give it a photo-journalistic feel.
Effective and meets the challenge well (6)

good tome and values you have maintained in the pic, only i feel the bigness of the crowd would have given a more dynamic look

cool shot, with lots of groovy faces and emotions. it would have been so much more powerful had that guy in the center not looked into the camera when you took it...dang! you can feel the celebration just looking at this photo, though! fun, like the graininess to the photo--makes it feel like a newspaper pic. does the title refer to the size of the audience?

I'm a huge buckeye fan. Your section did a great job on Saturday disrupting our team. I believe you played a part in the interseption thrown by Troy Smith, which was the difference in the game. Now, win out and destroy USC in the Rose Bowl! 10 for the photo.

I think the shot has a lot of noise. (If you look at the skin on the peoples faces you can see it) As for the shot itself, I love it. They all look like their having a fantastic time and you cannot help but smile when you see the look on their faces.
