Bravo on both this set of shots and on those of the injured/killed soccer players. I could not bear to read any more on the soccer players....too close to home with teenagers. But I would like to know how you lit the airport scene. Was that available light, bounce flash? Doesn't matter. I love the shot of the little girl clutching the vacant arm of the jacket.
This was shot with available light at f/2.8, 1/30th on 1000 iso. The available light was so nasty I didn't dare use flash because there was no way to gel the flash to match. The light was a combination of some kind of fluorescent with various neon colors.
