Sign of the Times - RIA

[Mouth Party]

Don't really like the song by Prince but it seemed to fit.



Didn't have a red torch so had to use a mouse on it's side, that forced me to crop the picture more than I would have liked.

Exif:

Canon 450D
Aperature - F5
Exp - 8
Focal Length 50mm
ISO 100

Can I ask if the wording on the Sign is relevant to the song in question? - otherwise I don't get it

The sign says Defence Division so sign of the times would refer to the heightened security status in the UK due to the threat of terrorism and the general state of war.

I was more interested in taking a decent picture (which I'm not convinced I achieved) than the infinitely simpler task of coming up with some obvious pictorial representation of a song title. e.g. a picture of a candle in the wind for the song candle in the wind or the DVD box of Fatal Attraction for the song thriller

Sorry if that last bit comes across as a bit snotty but the majority of comments and effort this month seems to be on the titles and not the actual photgraphs. Still everyone seems to have had fun so perhaps I need to have a word with myself!

Thanks for that and I kind of suspected your logic regarding the wording but thought I'd ask

Well I "think" that one should try to do both (regarding photo "illustrating" song title - my words...)- some manage to succeed better than others - and that's not a criticism of anyone - merely an observation

And yes - there's got to be an element of fun involved - not necessarily in the shot taken but definitely in the taking of it or why bother ?
