Much to enjoy in this BWV frame grab. I think it'll work well in a "POV" section for an upcoming talk. The line down the centre is really pronounced in this wider view. Pretty much the key moment.
Very wide angle frame grab from body worn video that shows the photographer's point of view at the moment a photograph depicting a street scene, taken at 02:26 on 1st January 2016, was made.

I'll be talking about photographs like these at the Eye International Photography Festival in Aberystwyth at 10am on Sunday 19th October. It's happening in a cinema with a fab, big screen, in a stunning part of the world - tickets at www.theeyefestival.com/2024-ticket-... - come and say hello!
Nigel Farage stood behind a microphone and in front of a light fitting so that it appears he has a toothbrush moustache and a halo. Three police officers and three young Asian men sit on a wall, in two distinct, symmetrical but separate groups. British and English flag carrying rioters throw fence panels at baton-wielding police. A couple share a tongue kiss as each looks over the other's shoulder at their own mobile phone.

How lazy, desperate & self-absorbed do you need to be to nick a photograph of a man crying at his cousin's funeral for your Facebook page's crappy, clout-chasing pub meme? Here's the image source: www.michaelwyke.com/index/I0000p...
Meme posted on Facebook by lazy, desperate, clout-chasing social media account "The Great British Pub Crawl" with a caption that reads "The beer line up of doom" featuring a photograph of a man saluting and crying at his cousin's funeral and a caption pasted over the photograph that reads "When you get to the pub and line up is...Carling, Fosters, John Smiths and Strongbow".

Last week I broke my wrist and my spine falling from my stepladder. One of the ladder's legs just buckled inwards and I fell to the ground /1
