Intressant att se att Barack Obama och hans team använder kanaler som Flickr för att publicera sitt material. I den officiella photostreamen på Flickr publiceras löpande bilder från Vita Husets aktiviteter. Tack vare att bilderna är licensierade med en Creative Commons licens kan till och med min lilla blogg med gott samvete publicera bilderna. Fotografen är Pete Souza. Vita Husets egna fotograf. Laddar man förresten hem bilden i originalupplösning kan man se att den är strippad på EXIF-data. Lite synd, för det kunde vara kul att snoka runt där. Ta gärna en titt på bilderna på Flickr. Det är bra bilder som serveras.
oh this is good!
this is a wonderful candid photo!
ahaha!! great :o)
Somehow needs to show him the proper way to hold an SLR! 🙂
ahahah great! yes, we canON!
This might be my new favorite picture of Obama. Check out the bling on his wedding ring!
Hi HI great choice !
Great photo!
I think he left the lens cap on…
i swear he has a Nikon D80 too. I’ve seen shots on his personal stream with photos taken with a D80. Although it might not be his….
this picture is priceless 🙂
Priceless!!
Everyone’s a shutter-bug!

Omfg obama uses canon omfg i am switching to canon so i can be a sheep
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Crème de la Crème/Cream of the cream, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
I LOVE this guy!!!
It’s so nice to see someone that;s intellectually curious in the White House. I’d let him play with my Sony A-700 if he wants to!
I wonder if he realised holding a certain brand of camera was actually going to cause controversy in our sad little world!!! haha
Canon FTW! Obamania is Canon enabled!
YES WE CAN(ON)!
Yes you Can-on indeed! I’ve never seen an American president with great engagement with us at Flickr.
Yes – he shoots CANON ! 😀
he shoots canon…sigh 🙁
@gb775, nope, it’s off, and I’m sure he’s taking a wonderful shot 😀
Is that the 35L?
It’s funny that he’s not holding it "properly"…
this is a super cute photo of barack.
lol
This is so awesome. What other president have you seen do something like this?
obama is a canon man. haha he doesn’t know how to hold a camera with a real lens
and look, he uses a canon – the same i have! :)))
love him, but someone needs to show him how to hold an SLR
Dammit, Jim…I’m a president not a photographer! 😉
That’s awesome. The whole set shows him even more personable than he already holds himself. 🙂
Nice capture!
I agree.. INTERVENTION please.. one for holding the Canon like a P&S AND… he should shoot NIKON…. 🙂 We have the same birthday I think I’ll send him a text blahhhh!!!!
Great picture!

Ah, the 5D Mk II, good choice.
Cool shot.
WOAH.
Faved ASAP
Good job president Obama and nice choice of camera…
I really like the canon 5d mark ii
would love to see the reat photo you just took…
He just lost my support 🙂 I figured he would be a Nikon man.
Yes!!! Obama’s a Canon man! Now I know I shoot with the best. 😉
Shouldn’t all the photos from this photostream be in the public domain?
adorable.
simply precious 😀
go go President, nice camera, nice choice! 😉
Awesome !!
at least he’s using an L.
I love his expression here! really great!

Greetings from brasil.
Just like I said "When Nikon doesn’t .. CANON DOES!!"
Honestly, who holds a camera like that?! Special.
Obama made it in Explore. NO WAY.
Everybody has a better camera than me.
CANON… 🙁
however this canon looks nice on his hand 🙂
This will no doubt get a a million views and comments due to be featured on the flickr blog, but I’ve got to say that this is priceless. The average flickrite would kill for a shot like this, possibly literally!

hello
best photo everrrr
pretty sure that the camera belongs to his 24/7 photographer (well, 24/7 minus the time he’s sound asleep :), Pete Souza… and Obama is holding the 5D Mark II just like he would a point and shoot.. it is however a great shot of our President. the whole set is fantastic.
motherfucky obama!!
excelent capture. Get photography
I see he’s using that rose-colored filter he’s so familiar with…
terrific pic!
oh yeah a canon–i see he is doing a publicity shot–so that explains why he is holding a camera for this photo shoot–how inspirational
Who cares what camera he uses or how he holds it. Our pres rocks!
Canon ftw!
Yes, Mr.President, Canon !!
dissapointed with his choice : ( but still a great photo.
Anyone noticed this is a great photograph?
Take a Flick of this…
Perhaps, this is 5DmkII. I think that it’s good camera, and it’s good selection.
He’s such a nerd, I love it! 😀
He just wants to know how we photographers do it. =P
Thanks for supporting the arts, Mr. President!
Intense squinting, like me.
Presidents, They’re Just Like Us!
this is nice, great capture ,Congratulations very beautiful smart, fine, elegant your photo
cool!
Great pose! I love the eye squint.
Dude, yes you can shoot Leica now. You have earned it!
Oh noes, it’s teh canon! I guess that’s cool. I only lost 00000.00009% respect for him for using a canon. Okay <— Start the flamming.
I love this. It’s really cool to see how "lax" the Obama family is!
he is a genius
lolz.. stick to your day job, man..
Wow its a POPTP: Pictures of Presidents Taking Pictures!

Obama shoots Canon!
Mr President, that camera does not have manual video control, did you know?
Please search for "5D petition" with your blackberry and sign please.
Thank you.
it isnt his camera. canon and nikon are both excellent choices as well as any other camera.
it isnt about the camera it is about the person behind it.
Here he is coming in to Phoenix!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called It’s Called Life, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Go Canon!
xP
Funny, I pictured him more of a Pentax guy. Though I guess Canon is even better if you have the dough.
Battery Grip One for you Mr President ?
We’re a Nikon family here; however, if Obama is shooting Canon "full frame," it’s OK.
And, I agree with the others above: that’s no way to hold a hefty dSLR 😉
obama shoots canon!!! GObama!!!
Another reason to like the guy.
very nice Mr.President a Canon user!
Obama is a Canon shooter 🙂
very very cute capture. 😀
He shoots Canon, yay!
You make me proud every day.
A lot of people here sure are leaving comments about Nikon vs. Canon. In all seriousness, is there really a difference? I ask, cause I plan to buy a new camera soon. I was leaning towards the Canon EOS 40D.
How sad, that when this man does something that is clearly wrong the sycophants come out to praise him. This is pathetic. It is clearly meant to distract us from the real issues he is ignoring.
As for other Presidents doing similar stunts, very few do it. Why? If they did they would be lambasted as buffoons, and rightly so.
Many Presidents have light moments, only the liberal ones get any POSITIVE press over it.
This is another example of the shallowness of this Administration.
GET TO WORK.
BLBC, you mean cleaning up after the last admin? Seems to me that they’ve been doing a major amount of work. Gimme a break.
he makes a better president than photograph person.
Obama is a canon guy… yahooo
Well, at least it’s a 5D and not a Rebel.
Barack, pick up a D700 sometime soon 😛
I think he is holding the camera that way mainly because he is a "Lefty"!
Wowowowow
Would I be playing devil’s advocate if I said that my Canon camera is a recycled Nikon? The car I drive is a recycled Ferrari… it’s now in the shape of a Ford Focus!
He can hold the camera any way he wants!!!
Mister Squeeze, spare us the "talking points." Trying thinking for yourself, for a change. It’s refreshing.
The last admin kept us safe. This admin is too busy creating emergency photo-ops and stunts to distract the mindless from the realities of the world, and Obama’s failures.
Iraq, still running. Obama DOING EXACTLY WHAT BUSH DID in Iraq. How is that "change?" Gitmo, still open. Not change. Europe laughing at us (well Obama, mostly). OK that is change. The world still hates us. NOT change. Economy sinking (faster). Not change. Partianship taken to a new high by Obama. Ok that is change, but not what we were promised. Obam suckig up to every despot, dictator, and Socialist thug on the planet. Ok that is change (granted Carter, did it first).
I am still waiting for him to fulfill ONE promise he made during the campaign. I am not going to hold my breath.
Maybe Obama was practicing to take photos of AF1 as NYC panics? Or maybe looking for the reset button?
Yes we CANon:)! Great shot – funny, but you gotta love the personality captured in this photo. It doesn’t really matter if he is using a Canon or not.
i actually like this.
really interesting shot always nice to see Obama
Nice.
It’s not Obama’s camera, ppl.. it’s a photographers camera.
but yeah, Canon’s the best :P. I use the canon too 🙂
this is gold.. haha
hell yes obama uses canon!

Especially with a Canon camera. Great! Yes you Can-on!
I love how he shoots as if it were a P&S…
nice
Uau,
Presidente dos Eua,
Da Hora com uma Canon
Great pic, best camera make in my opinion especially with the L lens. Top man uses top camera.
BLBC your argument proves your idiocy. OMG THE PRESIDENT IS TAKING PICSHAS, LET’S IMPEACH HIM, HE’S WASTING TAIM! Get over yourself you paranoid hack.
By way of the photo description, it is someone else’s camera.
But, Pete Souza, for those of us that followed his campaign documentation, shoots with a 5D (may have been a mkII). It was also the first time the official Presidential headshot was taken with a digital camera.
Hhahah the way he holds the camera 🙂 or maybe because he is left handed.. even I had problem holding camera initially..
Wonders how many times he needs to straighten the horizon in Photoshop! I feel so much better about my own crooked shots!! 🙂
damn i love this man
why the hell does he have a 5D mk2?
that thing is a piece of CRAP
oh wait its not his
thank god 😀
So cool — haven’t heard much about the ‘artsy’ side of the Prez in the media!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Barack Obama Updates, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
YAYEAH!! Go Obama! Get ur CanON!!!
Wow, nice unbiased first comment.
Oh, and full support to Canon for dying on me for unseen reasons, and thank you Canon for being so eager to help. Because you know, a camera not turning on for no reason is my fault, therefore I should pay for it.
Canon is great…this is a great photo too!
Canon > Nikon.
Canon vs. Nikon is a completely useless argument. If you can’t even grasp that the difference between mediocrity and excellence is the person behind the camera and a strong understanding of the basic concepts of light and composition, then you are no photographer at all. You can take a beautiful photograph with a 50 year old 35mm camera with the right knowledge and enough practice. You can also take a P.O.S. photograph with a D700 or a EOS-1 Mk III if you don’t know what you’re doing. The camera is simply a tool. A better camera does not make you a better photographer.
That being said, Pete Souza, you are truly magnificent at capturing these little candid moments! I very much enjoy this series showing a lighter-hearted side of our new president and look forward to seeing even more of your work as you travel with the Obamas over the next 4 years.
Barack, Canon… What more can you ask for?
do we have a cool president or what!!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called CREATIVE PORTRAITS, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Great portrait
Nice shot, but yes, he lacks that pro-photog image. Somebody ought to tell Obama that the shutter button is on the other side.
Hey everyone did you hear about obama’s latest screw up with flying air force one into lower Manhattan? Maybe someone should post a picture of everyone running for their life. Could you imagine if Bush did that? But since its obama that’s fine.
Obama does’nt know how to use a camera… lol
with Canon you Can
Born and raised with it…. see http://www.fps.nl
Canon Rocks….!!!!!!! :):):)
What Elizabeth said. 😀
5D Mark II?
oh goood
I agree with B-A-See!
Obama is left handed and your right handed world is not kind to us. Yet you all take it for granted…
Yes, We Canon.
Ce gars est incroyable…génial.
SUPER LMFAO at FlungingPictures’s picture!!!!
any alpha users here? ‘)
Btw, Obama it is the first U.S. President whose official portrait is taken with a D-SLR..!!
Is he shooting a photo of the faux Air Force One flying in NYC’s restricted airspace?
Looks like a 35mm on a 5DM2 just like mine 🙂
Canon FTW
BLBC, nice and delusional as most in your position are. Talking points you say? I could have written your response myself as I’ve been hearing this stock answer for the last 4 or 5 years as the buildup to all of this has slowly and painfully made itself clear. You can knock the current administration all you want, and I surely believe that any president (or politician) requires close watch and criticism, but to come out as and criticize as a Bushie fan boy, it shows your true colors and completely dismisses your credibility and in turn anything you have to say as opinion. Do some actual research, look at studies collected and presented by someone other than F*X news, and you will see that not only are your presumptions about Europe and the rest of the world wrong, you are in a HUGE minority in your narrow mindedness in the current global climate. Ask anyone outside of this country (or even inside it) who they feel has most influenced the current state of global financial affairs, lack of safety for not only us in the US, but the whole of the first world in the last decade and I bet you would get a resoundingly singular answer. You have proven to me that you have absolutely nothing of any intelligence to contribute to a conversation as you appear to enjoy being a flamer and antagonist, thereby becoming a joke to those of us that care to even pay attention to you. Therefore, I am removing myself from that category. Good bye.
Yes you Can-on!
Sorry – used to be in PR – shoot Nikon tho 😉
Oh Yes-he’s the MAN-love it-I’m a Canon girl myself!! Great shot!
Nice.
awesome.
Well, it is nice to hear that they’re using Canon!
We truly love Canon!
Canon! Canon! Canon! 🙂
Naw, but you can tell he’s never held a SLR in his life. Bless his heart. I just hope his conscious guides his policy

ROFL @ Russel’s comment… cute pic.. but I agree, someone please show him how to properly hold a DSLR =P
Niceeeee
Cool shot Mr Souza! I agree with ElizabethMartin, it’s not what you’ve got but how you use it. Strip the EXIF data and who’d know? I’m left handed too, but don’t find the 40D a problem. I think he’s just used to holding a compact camera. Stick with, maybe Pete could lend him an old dSLR? Now there’s a photostream I’d watch, just to see how his skills develop. He’d have enough people willing to teach him a few things.
I’m sorry Mr. President…*hands a Nikon to him* You need to use this!!! LOL
I shoot both…but prefer a Nikon…obviously!
Canon!? Great pic : ))
BLBC – Actually all of the friends I have in Europe like President Obama, and they talk about how hopeful the countries there are about him being in office. However, I should have known you were a fire starter with this comment: "The last admin kept us safe." Seriously??? OMG!
You a delusional.
Nice

It’s not that I don’t trust Obama, but I might be feeling slightly nervous if that were my camera 🙂
This thing is going viral!!!
I wonder what l lens that is
Thanks for supporting ART
It’s cool that the president do such fun things time to time, not just business, business and business.
If you read the caption it says that Obama is "taking aim" with a "photographer’s" camera so maybe he IS a Nikon man and not a Canon man. Yay Nikon!
Haha, very cool shot. Gotta support the Canon. 😉
Wahoo – Canon dude !
The BEST ;p
señor presidente 5D Mark II e 35mm L? hohohoho good taste

Obama shoots with Canon like me! But he should learn how to hold a camera anyway ehehe
Great capture
Yes you can !
Great capture!
кенан гавно =D
Excellent. Nice L lens there B-Rock! Love that our pres is shooting Canon.
Excellent!
Are you the same photographer who featured in a recent article in the National Geographic magazine?
Really enjoyed reading and gave a great insight into a world that most do not get to see.
To all who feel the need to vent their personal opinions of the man, just give him a break. This is a photography website not a political sounding board for your opinionated thoughts. Lets value the photos on their merits.

Certainly Canon will love the exposure (so to speak!!)……so your President can’t be all bad!!!
I’d be worried if he asked to hold my camera. "Please don’t drop it!" Lovely shot here though. Caught the moment!

Favorite camera, favorite lens, favorite president, FTW!
Yeah! Obama rockin’ the 5D mkII 😀
What lens is that, the 35mm 1.4L?
Nice!
very cool!
Love Our President!
awesome.
Verry good choice for Mr. President to used one Canon and on the special , the 5D Mark II 🙂
so do lefties use their right eye to look thru the camera? I notice I am mostly right handed and I use my left eye.
Canon photogs unite! Fun capture!!!
yes he CAN

the president uses canon. hell yeah.
If you can’t hold a camera correctly, don’t bother holding one at all.
Fantastic shot…I’m impressed by his choice of camera. Plus it’s nice not to feel a little uncomfortable about a US president wielding a big Can(n)on too 🙂
Nice photo !

I’m photographer from kuwait , hobbyist ..
I love to take the artistic photos shots ..
I love photography because it’s the best way to save all your memoriesI think the photos in many cases is more important than the talking or explaining .
Ok, I will say this.
I bought canon 40d, but I wanted to switch to nikon. Somehow I thought it would be good thing, that everybody is speaking about nikon. I started to think that it’s somehow better then canon. But now I see, that nikon users is a bunch of winers. What’s the point in the brand? It’s you that is the most important thing. Not the camera. And here I see a lot of users wining that president is taking one picture witch canon, and all of them are not happy about it. Grow up people. Or are you just pretending to look stupid?
Now I’m really gonna stick to canon, cause I would be ashamed to join Nikon camp with a bunch of winers and showoffs.
pardon my english..
My father used to hold his $15 camera like that…Would you tell the president he is holding it wrong? Nobody told him about the bowling thing 😛
Yeah! Canon rock! Obama rock! 😡 😡 😡
Absolute Badman!
At least he knows how to pick a decent camera.

I dont get it….. what is the big deal that Obama held a camera be it canon or nikon or whatever ??????
Is that a 24mm f/1.4L or a 35mm f/1.4L? I can see the filter size, but can’t make out if it says 77 or 72mm. From the proportions, it looks like the 35mm.

Nice olmush Mr PreZz Obama 😀
Yes, we can Canon 😉
Does ANYONE read the caption or others’ posts before slapping their own comment on this photo?
~the camera was borrowed for a photo opportunity, that’s it . . . A set and posed photo. He wasn’t shooting with it, he barely knew how to hold it (right OR left handed)
~Yes, the photostream is very insightful. To say that this is a whole new breed of presidential duty or family is ridiculous. With the advancement and increasing popularity of cameras & photography, it only makes sense that the general public would see more of what ALL presidential families and life in general is like.
With all of that being said . . . I think many of Mr. Souza’s photos are great shots and shed light on parts of presidential life we have not been privy to in the past. Great job . . .
I really liked him before, but now that I know he shoots Canon, I love the man! 😉

Looks like the Prez is addicted to Flickr too! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Barak is a down to earth human being that cares about so much. His Family, his country and having fun all at the same time. One minor adjustment should be made with this photo. Switch it with a Nikon! LOL! BY THE WAY PEOPLE…THE CAMERA IS NOT HIS…IT’S BORROWED FROM A PHOTOGRAPHER FROM BEHIND THE SCENES!
HE MAY BE A NIKON LOVER!
CAN WE ASK HIM IF HE IS A CANON OR A NIKON FAN?

Mr. President! Why not treat yourself to a nice camera like that? It’s quite fun to be behind the lens 🙂
He can’t even hold a camera properly! How can we hope for him to hold our future?!
And to address him being a "canon man": Its NOT EVEN HIS CAMERA!
so glad he’s a canon!
i really like how he holds it like that actually 🙂
He doesn’t claim to be a photographer. Who cares if he’s not holding the camera properly? I don’t think it has anything to do with the way he’ll run this country… I actually think this photo shows how laid back and funny the Obama family is. It’s nice to see how normal they are.
oh, by the way, there is far too much controversy within the comments of this photo. he is a man taking a photo with a camera. stop being biased about it.
wow, I love this camera
Canon. The Official Camera of the President
can’t even hold a camera correctly.

to all the folks commenting about Canon vs. Nikon: get a life. Seriously. Do you really think Obama cared when he borrowed the camera? It DOESN’T MATTER! Consumerists.
Of course he shoots with a Canon! Only the best for the President. Red over Yellow every time!
Bravo
O cara… (The guy…)
YES! This pretty much proves Canon’s are amazing. The president rolls with a 5D, I wish i did.

I voted for Obama because I was extremely impressed with his political skills and plans; now I have another reason, he is a photographer too! Way to go, I’m glad he is our president!! 🙂
What an awesome photo
Hell ya! He’s a canon man!
It’s not the Camera that makes the photographer…..
It’s not the clothes that make the man
it’s not the purse that makes the woman….
It’s how you use it.
knew if he shot a camera he be shooting a Canon 😉
Great capture…A People’s President….An Instant FAVE!!!
wow, I love it
Canon canon canon :D:D
CANON !!! i’ll let him slide seeing as he’s my uncle
I’m very proud of my country these days. I was losing hope for a while there.
Yay, Canon…
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Supreme Awesomeness! Post some, award none!, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Neato!
Obama canon man 😛
Didn’t you know? Nikons are for Republicans. Bwahaahaahaaa!
On a serious note, it feels good to finally have a great man leading our country.
now I have a reason to get Canon 5D mark 2
he’s a canonian
I wanna know what he shot!
This picture is wonderful! You can CANON!
a Canon!
and a beautiful lens…!
Now I can say… I use a Canon like Obama does!!!
ahahahah
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
Obama é o " Cara "!!
Looks like a Canon eos5d! The next future photographer! Way to go Obama!
Canon… You Can… 😀
5DmkII and 35L. If only he realized what an amazing combo he was holding at that very moment.
Nice Photo of a person who knows how to have fun.
Has anyone identified the lens yet?
Well… when I saw this photo on the newspaper, I figured out a discussion like this on Flickr. 😀
Obama shoots with Canon like me!
Ohhhh man this is so wrong. Tax payer dollars going to Canons? Now we know why the defense budget is so large. All this time we thought they were buying cannons.
gr8 shot 🙂
CUTE.
YES! HE’S OFFICIALLY AMAZING
I would kill to see that photo he shot
He is the man, this is the cam….rsrs
Lol this is cute, how hes trying to "hold" that big and great profy camera.
tell Obama ==> don’t choose the way that bush choosed
don’t let people hate you
same rigid pucker and forehead glare when i snap!
很神气哦！http://e-beta.cn
What coflickr Nastassia A. Davis said 🙂
Absolutely great shot.
Nice shot!
Nicolas
this is the ultimate canon publicity spot..
Obama loves l!!!
Way to go Mr President O. You just unintentionally made Canon DSLR camera sales soars above the roof and offended some percentage of your voters who are using Nikon.
Pete Souza. I bag you to please take another pic of Mr President Barrack holding a Nikon D700 instead.
huhuhu. He got my support but this shot hurt me feeling as I’m a Nikon guy.
hahahaha. Nice wonderful shot anyway to look at him behind the view finder for once
@malays WIN!
Wow, Obama and Canon!
Now I know that I did the right choice 🙂
he’s left handed?
Well, this is how we use our point and shoot camera aight? hmnnn.. thats right, nice Canon publicity…
Nice photo by the way.
Cheers to Mr. President
What a great photo of him!
Canon for the win! 🙂
Since its a 5D any pics he takes are Getty worthy haha
Canon 5D Mk2?
so who cares how he hold a slr?
whatever its a priceless photo.
aah mr.President hold on to that focus … focus … click … 😀
Hehehe, great shot! Huurrraaa Mr. President!
nice shot
"with canon you can!"
yes, we can!
Figures ! Stephen Harpers tryining to look through the flash unit instead of the view finder "Dah"
Canon rulez!
Perfect
Endless Canon vs Nikon debates are highly tedious. Neither make is better than the other, it depends entirely on the person BEHIND the camera.
That said, I love this photo.
<3 <3 <3
Obama has many talent!!!!! great shot!
"I said FRESZE MOTHER F*&%&ER!!"
I hope the prez is a shutter bug.
… With Canon You Can the Best !
no, no lens cap. by the way nikon is better. 😛
it’s that red ring around the lens.. what you call them lens again?
he is the man….of our times…..nice to see he has a canon…..
I did like Obama, until I saw the Canon in his hands…. He’s got a cute grip on it, that’s for sure.
Vivat Canon EOS….The President’s Camera
I’m a Pentax guy myself, but if I has to I’d shoot with an old Kodak point and shoot, not that there’s anything wrong with them.
5dmark II
I used to not like Obama.. but now I know he’s on my side… canon.. lols.
Obama’s shutter button is on the left side. Canon especially made it for the President’s comfort. lols
Graet shoot mr president..I hope you the best.
Awesome! Canon is good.
I love my Canon cameras but am thinking of switching to Nikon now. Oh wait, how silly of me, I have to pay for all the outrageous gov’t spending this misguided idiot and his radical friends in Congress have sold us out to. I can’t afford to spend money on myself.
Way to go Hussein.
anche i padroni del mondo usano CANON 🙂 Abbasso NIKON 🙂 ahahahah
Ironically enough both Canon and Citizenship start with a "C." HAHA!
he must take many other pictures throught the world….
yes we can…..
whatever the machine..:):)
LOL love it so funny how he holds it 😛
ahhhh…so nice to see he’s a Canon fan!
😀
I Obama, I Canon!!!!
Congratulations Mr. President… I wish you a good job!!!
someone should show him how to hold a camera
what’s is this lens ?
looks like the 5d mark II with 85mm 1.2 L ?
He likes Canon too 🙂
Actual proof at last to justify your flickr account here Mr. President. Now upload the shot you took Barack, go on, I dare you…
🙂
Ps. Yes you can with a Canon…
—
Seen on blog.flickr.net (?)
Well, he appears to be a Canon guy, not completely infallible .
Couldn’t somebody have persuaded this clown to take a new picture of
Air Force One for less than $329,000?
This guy is a total retard!
Pandering to the Flickr crowd
If he’d actually taken a shot of AF1 himself (& got his flickr intern to upload it here) I’d excuse that faux pas myself personally…but them I’m a European Evolution Believing Agnostic Liberal Pinko Commie Subversive type…
🙂
I don’t mind him pandering to us here as long as he actually uploads one he actually took himself sometime….
(To be read by whatever Whitehouse intern who’s job it is to follow this thread & pass it up along the chain of command to the Man himself, hopefully, eventually, whenever).

Wrong choice! Nikon rules!

Shoot film, Mr. President, SHOOT FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ha! Awesome! Lol
🙂
Ow, how can I see our brazilian "the guy" president doesn’t know how to hold it either.
http://www.info.planalto.gov.br/exec/inf_fotografiagrande.cfm?fo...
haha..ele só precisa a lidar mais com a camera!!
no offense to you canonites, but why don’t you read the caption carefully, he’s holding a camera that belongs to another photographer, it’s not his. not that it really matters anyway, but it’s funny to see people jizzing about him holding a canon.
I want the camera… not him
And it’s a CANON!
With canon…We can! Ahhaha
Super !!!!!
heheheh
cool snap
W Obama!
Canom rules
una bella foto, saluti dall’Italia

He specializes in using a DSLR.

Mesmo debaixo de toda crise nacional um bom fotografo sabe posicionar sua camara no ponto certo para fotografar sua imagem preferida.

Nice

I’d say his photo should be public domain as well.

He shoots with right eye,, um.. Creative guy !
wow!! canon!
Does anyone know what camera this was shot with? (along with the rest of the Obama shots by Pete Souza? (I’m guessing one of ’em is the 5DMKII)
Good very good
With Canon, you Can on !!!
Shooting the change? Very good photostream that let’s you "enter" the Whitehouse.
Good job.
È genial …clássico é coisa de presidente!!!!

Una foto espectacular!!!
Una muy buena toma.
Veo que vamos por buen camino, pues el presidente obama prefiere canon!!!
Jejeje.
Un gran presidente!!!!
I’m a Republican but Obama rocks the Canon! At least he is not looking through the flash, like PM Stephen Harper!
He took a camera, big deal. 😐
You can see:
The official fotografer of White House is a mean picturer –
not willing to learn.
Obama:
Shoot with camera — not with gun…
You don’t call me Obama!!! yes I’m Barac
I like this one – and the camera world is not kind to lefties. When will camera makers wake up to this fact?
nice camera dude
http://www.photographion.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/canon-24...
G o r g e o u s !
wow Mr Obama,yes you can
.
Damn marxist can’t even hold a camera correctly.
One Big Ass Mistake America
This is a very telling photograph of a "People’s President".
And in fact all the photo’s of President Obama on ‘Flickr’ are certainly a welcome change and very positive for America and the ideals it stands for.
What I would like to see posted on Flickr, are snap-shots taken by President Obama.
Canon.
;D
