VCU Nursing Graduation

I know this is a while after the fact, but I got to cover the VCU School of Nursing Graduation ceremony at the Siegel Center back on May 16. It was different, and made me nervous; especially when asked to do an impromptu whole-class photo. I didn't have any large flash units, and every room in that place was verging on a 1600 ISO minimum. I think the shots came out pretty good, though. I was limited to the staging area (practice gym), so don't fault me for terrible background colors!

It was fun - I got to roam freely through the whole place for the entire ceremony. I just wish that one of the large 'speaker-focused' events I do would spring for a spotlight though. I'm tired of shooting at the Xti's ISO limit. It really limits what I can get at 1/100th with a 200mm lens. Maybe I should start thinking about the 5D or better yet - the Mark III! I also have been thinking a fish-eye would be interesting for some angles in these massive venues.
