I was out photographing the rally in Trafalgar Square for women's rights in Zimbabwe today. It was a nice little congregation of people holding banners, bellowing the occasional 'Yeeeeah' and dancing to the performers in-between the speeches.
After that we made our way to Westminster and 'bumped' in to (it's not really hard to avoid him) the man you see in the photo. His name is
Brian Haw and he has been protesting in Parliament Square for almost 7 years. As my girlfriend chatted away with him and his friend I stood back and took photos.
Taken at 170mm, shutter speed 1/160, aperture 5.6 and ISO-640. A little desaturation, curves adjustments for contrast and colour balancing for tone in Photoshop.
