Heard the big man was going to be in Glasgow today. I rushed out of work at 12pm, headed for the subway. Train arrived bang on time. Got my camera and lens prepped while on the train, got off Buchanan St and got up to the higher level to be greeted by the crowd. Jumped amongst all the other photogs and came away some shots here
Not content with just pics of the First minister I followed a guy waving a huge Scotland Flag up to the top of the street. He was waving it as he past the Donald Dewar statue and felt it was a strong enough image to rattle off a few at 6fps to see if I could catch the flag waving. 6 shots I got and this one was used by Time Magazine online today.
Totally gobsmacked to say the least and certainly worked out well for a lunchtime trip into town. Best £3 I've spent on a journey lol.
I did get elbowed in the face by a photog getting into position, and might I add, these guys throw photography etiquette right out the window lol. They will stand in front of you while you are lining up a shot lol.
Wasn't a lot of keepers from the 100 pics I took, felt the 5D3 or the 24-105 a bit on the slow side to achieve focus. Never mind it was a good day.
