Some Weekend Stuff

I love walking around London at night. I took my sexy 50mm f1.8 lens with me :D

The Houses of Parliament look much better in reality at night than what I’ve managed to capture here! We were just in time; after midnight the lights were turned off.

A bench opposite Parliament..

..it says ‘I love you sweety’. There’s too much not enough depth of field, I know.

Mmm :D

Went to see Brian Haw.

The last time I took a shot of him, he didn’t seem too chatty – in fact he appeared to be somewhat annoyed. This time was completely the opposite; he was really friendly and I had a conversation with him about the ‘arseholes’ in Parliament as he put it, and how he has received racial abuse. It’s pretty courageous of him to be spending each and every minute of the day in Parliament Square, as he’s been doing for the last 5 years.

On Saturday a protest was held in Trafalgar Square regarding the deaths of prisoners in UK prisons.

There were placards with the names of those who had died.

By contrast, at the same time Ken Livingstone was giving a speech in Trafalgar Square as well, to commemorate Eid.

He definitely got more attention from the media.

Some graffiti artists near Southbank

I noticed this guy getting out of a cab

Then I noticed a small film crew filming him.

On Oxford Street a few people walked past holding a mini protest

I don’t think many people really noticed them.

Shooting people from windows, shooting people through windows..er something like that :o I took this shot from a bus – it’s noisy, I know ¬__¬

I do love shooting from windows – I guess I feel ‘safer’ doing so – knowing that my subjects can’t really tell me to stop shooting them ;) I’ll submit some in my next entry.

That’s all for now!
