Unimpressed

On Saturday we went into town to the National Portrait Gallery to see the annual photographic portrait competetion, formerly sponsored by Schweppes. Our feelings about the results where somewhat mixed - whilst we felt the winner had some merit we personally preferred work by other exhibitors. Anyway, afterwards we went for a walk around Trafalgar Square, where the "Russian Winter Festival" was taking place. Wandering through the crowds for 10 minutes netted a fair few pictures - although shooting with a 50mm f1.7 lens wide open was quick to focus, the speed at which I was working meant I got the wrong point of focus at times. There's a couple of "keepers" in the pile, the first of which is above.
