Take The Rubbish Out
After getting some 50mm f/1.8 shots of the riots (due to the low light), I quickly stopped and stuck on my wide-angle lens. I thought that some shots with this might bring people into the photograph a bit more. Sadly, when using a 10mm lens, you need to be right up against your subject. I mean right up against them.
Unfortunately, the wind changed direction as I was taking this shot, and the smoke from the fire right beside me blew into my face while taking a series of shots. I'm not too sure what was burning, but my word, it hurt! For about 10-15 mins afterwards, Lydia told me my eyes were incredibly red and bloodshot. I couldn't stop them watering. Perhaps people thought I was getting emotional about the spending cuts.
