[Leica] Re: London challenge shoot

I'd have been happier with an unlimited amount of film and a target of
producing the best shot from the two hour period. Personally it had been
ages since I'd been to London so I limited myself to mainly walking
around the Leicester Square / Covent Garden area. And the light was
terrible. And it was cold. I'll stop making excuses now - my shot was
crap and I know it was crap, doing a PAW in 2002 made me a much more
critical viewer of my 'work' :-)

Steve- Since you have a wide range of shooters that have different
photographic abilities your future challenge should be best single photo
in a 2 hour period. Forget the rule of 36 exposure film as you need more
others need 12's or 24's. As a frequent traveler to London there are
easy photo op's for those looking for subjects. Examples such as Sunday
at Speakers Corner as shown by Brian Reid. You could also go to the
Observatory at Greenwich and photograph the reaction of kids and adults
to the prime meridian. The line causes people to straddle it, stand on
it , walk it or have family members on either side of it. Those are a
few things that make an interesting selection of photos at that
location. 
While waiting to check into my hotel in Russell Square, I walked up to
Tavistock Square with a coffee, newspaper and M6 and sat down for about
an hour. In that time the number of visitors to Ghandi's monument each
reacting in their own way to him made for a fun group of B&W images. All
this while I sat on a bench relaxing with my coffee and paper.
