Good ol' Marks & Sparks

Time was getting on and I needed to get an entry in. Thinking a bit laterally, you can't get more British than good ol' Marks & Sparks...
The shot was taken today during an unusually quiet lunchtime in Woking, Surrey.



Straightened, cropped and colour temperature adjusted. The original image is on my Flickr site, along with this entry.

exif info as follows:
Date: 2007:06:21 12:01:08
Camera: Canon Digital Ixus 750
Aperture: f/3.2
Exposure: 0.02s (1/50)
ISO: 50
Focal length: 9mm


C&C welcome

Cheers,

Tim.

One i'd thought of I must admit.

Very British! Good entry.

Nicely composed. Just the right number of people in the right places. Nice one!

Re: Good ol' Marks & Sparks

Thanks guys

In the end it's turned out ok. When I first went to "scope it out" (!) I was worried about getting a clear shot, but the right angle and just a few people seem to have made it work

Cheers,

Tim.
