You might want to correct the spelling error in the headline before some USC alum comes along and mocks you mercilessly.

I don't know about spelling errors, but that's a lovely comma splice in the intro...

"Essay" was spelled "esay" when I posted that comment yesterday.

Nice student, uh, body. I like how the girl on the right is throwing up a little "Fight On!" love.

What'd you use to shoot this? I'm particularly interested in the lenses; you've got some pretty nice shots of life at UCLA, with a number of shots/frames that I never considered. (The computer lab, for instance, never seemed picture-worthy in the past.)

They;re also pretty punchy --- what'd you do in post-processing?

Lovely pics in the end.

Rizwan,

Thanks for your interest. I used a Nikon D50 outfitted with a 300mm Tamron lens. In some cases I used a Nikon Speedflash.

Post processing involved a "bleach bypass" filter, similar to what you see in Spielberg's "Minority Report".
