I have been travelling an awful lot in the last three or four weeks, so have barely even dropped by the forum for some time... However, on my recent trip to LA, we went to a party at California Live, where I took my 5Diii and 1.4 nifty-fifty. Here are a couple of party time photographs:

2Y2A4218 by RCARCARCA, on Flickr

EXIF: ISO 10000, 1/5000 sec, f1.4 (you may well ask why didn't i turn the ISO down - it was late, I was in the wrong time zone, and had had a glass or two of wine... and in such circumstances you cannot believe how fast the glasses can move)

EXIF (and excuses): as above

2Y2A4165 by RCARCARCA, on Flickr

EXIF: 1/2500 sec

2Y2A4153 by RCARCARCA, on Flickr

EXIF: 1/2000 sec

Thanks for looking. I may well post others from the trip on other sections. If you want to see more look here: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjERPw5N

Street & City / Margaret Thatcher's funeral

« on: April 17, 2013, 04:42:13 PM »

I don't particularly want to enter into a political debate on this forum, but I thought I would share these two that I took today as the procession passed near my office:

Second hand emotion by RCARCARCA, on Flickr

EXIF: 5Diii, 24-105 @ 105mm, ISO2000, 1/2000 sec at f4.5

Taken as the coffin was transferred from the hearse to the gun carriage.

:-) by RCARCARCA, on Flickr

EXIF: Exactly the same.

I did not necessarily warm to Margaret Thatcher nor did I agree with all of her politics, but I do not like the jubilation at her death. Nevertheless, I couldn't help myself and I had to take this photograph...

Comments (photographic rather than political) welcome!

Thanks for looking

I thought they looked pretty darned magnificent. Don't know if I have done them justice.

Street & City / London Omnibus

« on: October 10, 2012, 05:06:21 PM »

Puts me in mind of Flanders & Swann: The big six-wheeler scarlet-painted London transport diesel-engined 97-horsepower omnibus. Except they were talking about the older version and I suspect the engine is a little more powerful now!

I sticks me flippin' hand out and I jams on all me brakes.

Enjoy!
