This project was to photograph an organised event with plenty of people and a variety of images to be taken. I chose to photograph the Edinburgh Jazz Festival event held in the Grassmarket in August 2010. I did use a variety of lenses and focal lengths but in the end the 10 photos I took are mostly at the 200mm end... I think I 'hid' a bit behind my lens in this exercise and should have tried more wide angle shots. There were lots of people about (unfortunately more were sitting in chairs than ideal) and I did manage to take a wide variety of photos to 'tell' a bit of a story about the day. The weather was harsh - bright sunlight for most of the time culminating in a heavy rain storm at which point I decided to leave! Here are my 10 best images from the day, posted almost 6 months later and from the other side of the world (now based in Brisbane, Australia).
