Excellent set of images. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent photos! Every single one of them, including the Police.
I am not at all surprised that the protesters were kind to you, but.... I'll keep my comments strictly to the photography and not voice my observations about the protesters!
You have captured a nice range of facial expressions and characters - Great portraits.
Out of curiosity, what camera+lens were you using? They were obviously comfortable with you taking photos or were you dressed up as a festival going like most of them?
I've recently gone M43, have a cheapo set-up: GX80+panasonic 45-150mm, compact, discrete, lightweight, tilt-up screen, I love it.
These people are there to be photographed, that's the whole idea. So easy peasy people pics.
I'm still getting to know the set-up. Some are a bit tight in the frame. There's room for cropping, must bear that in mind in future.
Well done with your shots.
Not so much for these layabouts.
I've gotta agree David, excellent set
Was autofocus affected by the multiple piercings.
Just wondered. It isn't something I worry about with normal people.
