Today was the last day of Barack Obama and Joe Biden's bus tour through the industrial Midwest, making stops in Lima and Toledo in Ohio, Hamilton in Indiana, and ending up in front of over 17,000 people in Battle Creek, Michigan.

One of the things a candidate learns on the trail is to get used to constant click of the cameras. Whether you are attending church in Lima or talking economics on the roof of the Lucas County Public Library in Toledo, the constant sound of shutters is ubiquitous.

But one can learn the process of photography simply by being around it. This afternoon, when Barack and Joe hit Pier 32, a picturesque restaurant overlooking a lake in Hamilton Indiana, Barack took the time to help some patrons get the pictures just right.

"You're not pressing the shutter button, That's the wrong one," he advised one woman, pointing the correct button out.

"The camera won't respond because you've got it in timer mode," he told another.

"Oh, that's a nice camera," he said to a young photo enthusiast. "Just like these guys'," indicating the cameras of the veteran photographers of his press corps.

Enjoy the day in pictures.
