Street

On Saturday 22 February, people gathered to protest at the Russian Embassy in London against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The protesters stood at the entrance to Palace Court off the Bayswater Road opposite Kensington Gardens. The road was cordoned off and the protesters stood behind the barriers, with police controlling any overspill into Bayswater Road.

Wide angle lenses increase the sense of depth in a photo. Long lenses do the opposite – they compress distance.

If you get close enough with a wide angle lens the photo will make the viewer feel involved in the scene,

But you have to get close enough.  For the photo of the crowd that meant being about six to nine inches from the man on the left.
