I did what I would regard as a successful reportage of the anti-Trump Rally in Edinburgh [ https://www.flickr.com/photos/robmac1/albums/72157697399562571 ] but with autofocus. This time I had to rely on zone focussing, but didn't always get things bang on. Still, it was a good learning curve. Here's my favs of the bunch. The full shoot can be seen here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/robmac1/albums/72157711012414802
1. Food For Thought - the march passed by many outdoor restaurants along the famous Royal Mile, full of bemused tourists, many of whom joined in, I'm pleased to report. I think the young boy is hungry, or fancies a beer...
2. Lots of school kids, of course, the older ones being particularly rude, but humorous:
3. I can think of one or two who don't, but...
4. Primary-School kids were bellowing the loudest, as they should. I offered one of them my next General Election vote. Whichever party you would choose, I said, I'll use my vote for. And I will. Spot the Sony.
5. She really was a climate-change graduate...
6. Sadly out of focus, and admittedly a mistake, but I have a great title - especially if you remember the original song title. Looking Through Greta Thunberg's Eyes.
7. Rise Above It All. I love the laughing on the lower right
8. Agreed. On both counts.
9. Also agreed. There was a lot of phone-staring going on.
10. The official statistic was 10,000 to 15,000, but it was like this for the whole hour I stood and watched. Seemed a lot more than the official statistic, but then it always does.
