Iranian ambassador heckled at the Ateneo, Madrid

 
Iranian ambassador heckled at the Ateneo, Madrid
From the technical point of view this was an awkward story to cover. The first problem was that I was the only journalist cover the story inside the Ateneo, although there were a couple of other photographers taking photos. So I stood out like a sore thumb. And even when I managed to "blend" in the walls the noise from the D300 made sure I attracted attention. But then it was the D300 that made it possible for me to take the photos in the first place; and there was no option of using flash here. 


As for the politics of the event, I'll always remember this event as a sad day in democracy.
