Fuel Protest 2005

[Adrian]

Taken earlier today at the less than successful protest by the fuel protester Andrew Spence and his colleagues in the Fuel Lobby, at Shell's Jarrow Terminal...

Somewhat disheartened, a veteran of the 2000 blockade.

Andrew Spence putting on a brave face

Trying to get Shell officials to come out and talk.

Police were good natured but firm

Jarrow Brewery provided bottles of Rivet Catcher and pizzas!

Think #2 is my favourite there, both in terms of capture and processing.

Cheers fingerz, but what do you mean by processing?! Straight out of the camera, resized, bordered and saved for web!

Oh. Didn't realise. Must be the light then.

It looked like it had been given an S curve in photoshop. Quite contrasty, which I like.

It had been given an S-curve, but in my camera which allows a curve to be uploaded. First time I've tried it so it seems to work.

Excellent in the news stuff Adrian, nice shots. Did they take turns holding that banner?

 

[Matt]

good pictures Adrian, very 'press'

 

[fingerz]

What camera do you use Adrian? Just wondering if I can do in-camera curves too. Probably not.

 

[Bachs]

Nice piece of topical photojournalism there and great quality virtually straight off the camera

And the comment of the day award goes to!......

Cheers folks .

Fingerz, it's a Canon 1D MkII. Ken, no-one would go near it apart from the bloke who was holding it like his baby!
