One of the local elementary schools came to put on a "pep rally" for the T-Bots, since they're going to competition in a few weeks. First, the kids put on the pep rally. They did chants and dances and made signs to cheer on the T-Bots. Then the T-Bots went up to put on a presentation for the kids, showing them the robot and what went into making it.
I had a few problems with this, mainly being that the theatre was dark, and the stage light wasn't that bright that day. I used a few different lenses, being the 17-50mm, the 50mm, and the 70-200mm, which I switched every five minutes or so, depending on what I needed to do. I tried to use the 50mm as much as possible, to get as much light as I could since it was so dark.
It was great documenting this, and it was by far one of my favorite things to shoot all year because everyone cooperated so well. The T-Bots let me go wherever I wanted to go, and they were so grateful that someone got photos for them. They probably thanked me fifty different times. It was so exciting! I also got complimenting on being "a freaking ninja" because I was everywhere and got everything, but nobody even noticed I was around. I was proud of that fact. It made me feel like a proper photojournalist. :)
