There's a 'green' angle to this year's festival (as well as food and music). Hand prints from local school children. School choir singing Salisbury stage later.
Can I add my thanks to Matt for taking and posting photos of some of the most important people of the day - those who did the hard work behind the scenes to organise and run the event.
Having enjoyed the Festival I've also had fun seeing other people's photos. Hugh is inviting them to the Harringay Online Flickr group and I hope more people will add a few of their own.
We'll all have our favourites, but I want to highlight a set by Maja Kucova - posting as Belkus. Maja is a professional photographer and seeing her great portraits of people at the Festival made me wonder whether I shouldn't stick to dumped mattresses.
My first thought was telephoto lens at wide aperture giving short depth of field, but Alan's #3
would show it's done in Photoshop or similar. Surely not Vaseline on the lens ? :-)
Don't actually like #3 - you're left with the question " What are they all looking at ? "
