A close up of one of my flip flops again with the two lenses! Who needs a macro lens!!

I've been very unmotivated so far this summer, so I'm gonna start blogging again (even if noone's listening!)..

I have recently got into taking photographs with two lenses for some reason. I've been holding my 50mm lens in front of my camera which has a 28-80mm lens on.. probably very dodge, but it has turned it into a macro lens effectively. Very strange. I should look into this.

This was when we set our placards and boards down in the place where it all started, for our photographs and concept to be scrutinised by our peers and the general public!

So, for our final exhibition, we wanted to have an impact as we had been trying to do with our protests. So, we planned to hide behind the cathedral, which is near to our exhibition site at the clock (we took a trip beforehand to see where would be good). We wanted to do this so that nobody would see us and guess what was coming. We waiting for about 5 minutes after meeting time so that our peers and tutors might be wondering where we were. Then, we came round the corner chanting WHAT DO WE WANT!? ... An exhibition!! .. WHEN DO WE WANT IT?! ..Now!! with our placards and boards in hand.

This is a picture of us waiting near the cathedral, all set with our individual t-shirts that we each made with a different protest (the one that matches our main final photograph).

This was nearing the end of our 'Don't stop me in the street' protest, where we had some people who we didn't know come and join our cause!

A man stopping to take a picture of our protestors, despite the rain!

Saturday 5th March - our third and final protest..

We aimed to make this our best protest as it was the final and we wanted to go out with a bang!

We had about 15 people in the end doing it, which was better as it had more of an impact. However, it rained and a lot of people (the public) were just keeping their heads down and rushing to get where they were going and therefore, I think if it hadn't been raining then it would've been better.

Overall, I think our protests were successful. We got some brilliant reactions from people, and hopefully got people thinking ( as most people are so used to seeing big protests about political topics, e.g. student fees) and we got some great photographs from the events too, which we will use for our exhibition on the 9th March. This will be held, again, at the Eastgate clock, and we will put the photographs on placards and on a big board for more of an impact.
