Travels in Europe: London 雾都漫步 - 6
Our guide books give us several choices. We are heading for the Camden Lock flea 1 market. If you like garage sales, you'll love these street markets, and they offer lots of opportunities for candid 2 people shots.
To get those shots, I preset my camera, I set the meter on sunlit ground and focus at, say, 12 feet. Now I know I can shoot anyone who's in the sunlight and 10 to 15 feet away.
The Camden Lock market usually has some crafts, antiques 3, a little jazz and lots of faces to focus on to.
I don't always buy, but I always get a kick out of the scene. That scene was just openers for what I think is the best free show in town, Speaker's Corner in Hyde Park.
And do you think it's right for man‘s being monogamous?
Though I find...
The park itself has more than 600 acres of lush greenery and here on early Sunday afternoons, you'll see grassroots democracy in action.
This is soap box oratory 4 at its best.
Adultery, murder, anything that's wrong, will get us out of our feeling, of depression
