Flag day

[mikeboy]

Greetings, it has been a long time since I posted, been really busy with all that is going on in my country ATM, so not much time for browsing the web, anyway, this is a pic I took at one of our protest rallies.



No photoshop, took it with my cellphone camera (bought me the k800 so I could have a decent camera with me at all times)

Welcome back

First, I'm still amazed at the quality of cell phone cameras. Seriously, it's nuts the good quality of pictures they produce.

Now, your actual picture I think it has good colours, and it's sharp, though I wouldn't have thought of it as a flag day (as your title says) or of it being of a protest (it looks more like a parade to me). I think that it's difficult to portray a protest in a picture because a lot of us all seem to associate protests with something violent or picketing signs or something like that. At least that's the sort of thing I usually associate with protests. That being said, I do like the way that the umbrella fills part of the frame though So I do like the composition. I just never would've guessed the subject.

heh, yeah,t hat is kind fo the whole point, we, the students, are out protesting in a very peacefull way, no violence on our side!

And the title is really only accurate if you where there, because almost everyone had a flag, and we marched, all together, like a parade

Thanks for the explanation I think that sometimes the explanation really helps make the picture
