PLEASE! No political comments either way.
This is only about the photography.
Interesting use of cameras on a pole to get an impactful vantage point.

Interesting perspective...
It certainly stands out.
I have a painter's pole, a camera mount and a Camranger I can use with my iPhone.
Now I have to try it!

When I see a good idea and say "I can do that" it normally involves 3 trips to the hardware store.

I don't have a problem with that.

I did notice all the Canon lens in the photos.
...because your eye is naturally drawn to white/bright!

There are a number of black Canon lens with red rings. I was mostly interested the the focal lengths of the lens used.

..ah...so what's the verdict? Looking at the range a 50 would work well...I'd have my 24-105 out for that!

From the EXIF data on the photo, it shows it was taken with a Canon 1Dx II and an 11-24mm lens (16mm).
In the photo I can identify the Canon 70-200mm lens, Canon 24-70mm lens and even a Canon 24-105mm lens. There is a larger Canon lens on the left (the photographer is in a purple shirt) that I am not familiar with.

I remember seeing in the old movies photographers held their Speed Graphics overhead to get a view of the news--that took some muscle. They set a slightly wide lens on hyperfocal distance and the rule was, "F-8 and be there." But the flashbulbs were so bright you could easily set f-16 with our modern film if you could use flash.

This is a great photo. The television coverage just showed Comey while this photo shows the mass of audience and photographers surrounding him. I know that lots of people watched his testimony but this photo really conveys the national interest in hearing his testimony far better than the television ratings.

This is much more effective than the shots I saw on TV. All those lenses provide leading lines straight to Mr. Comey and the ring of people literally aiming at him illustrates the pressure he was under. Well done!

I was curious why all the photographers were using telephoto lenses,when he's so close to them.
