Subject: [OM] Royal Wedding in London
> Well it went well. Back in November I booked a couple of nights in the
> RAF Club (on Piccadilly in London) in anticipation of being able to attend
> the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, and it all came
> together on Thursday and Friday. We were in the huge crowd that watched
> and listened (the wedding service was broadcast around the centre of
> London, it seemed) and we all had an excellent time, all 1,000,000 of us
> (approximately).
>
> But photos were difficult. The crowds were thick, but even when they
> weren't I didn't manage many decent photos because everyone would put
> their arms up with a camera of some sort and try to get a chance shot of a
> passing royal. A shortish lady next to me on Whitehall asked me to take
> some photos for her, so I had a K-5 in my right hand and a little P&S in
> my left as carriages and horsemen passed on the road in front, with
> cheering and flag-waving adding to the atmosphere.
>
> But I got a few shots in a very enjoyable day; I don't do crowds normally,
> but this was a special occasion and it was worth every minute of hanging
> around.
