Peter's eye on the world

This was from the other day in Trafalgar Square. Angela Palmer, an artist, came up with the idea of highlighting the problem of deforestation by installing 10 rainforest tree roots legally harvested from Ghana. There were 10 different trees in all and when I visited, there were many people photographing and generally milling around. I thought I'd try a longer than normal exposure to turn the people into ghost-like entities to go with the tree roots. Because I had to use a reasonably high ISO, noise started to creep in so I converted to mono, which along with the shadows makes the image quite effective I think.

On another note, I just realised that nobody could actually read anything until now because I forgot to reset the blog privacy settings. Whoops! Sorry about that. Glad to see everyone again and have a restful weekend.
