very good reportage.  I don't like the colors much in many of them.  Seem too saturated (lots of strong blue shadow, esp the last).   I do, though, really really like the third one.  All in a great set and deserve to be on pages of a top newspaper.

Thanks for the comments! Yes you are right about the colors, might need to do some changes in my processing :) I do like them as they are now, but it doesn't hurt to experiment with other options :)

Alejandro, engaging photos, thank you.

 

What did you think about the usage of the Q in this situation? Quick enough? Did you have to be too close in tense surroundings, or alternatively, did it enable you to be close? 

 

I find most of them more saturated than I would choose, but it's a question for me at the moment, as looking back at my past images I find my old ones too dull, and have recently been pushing up the saturation more than I did in the past. I wonder if it's a temporary interest or whether I'll keep a strong-saturated look. 

 

I think the third one draws attention not just because of the police officer's centre position, expression and reflection on the helmet, but also because it's almost monochromatic, enabling his face to stand out against the blue-grey surrounds. There are only small patches of bright blue, yellow, red and green, and they distract a little from the concentration on his face. How does the image look if you tone down those four colours? Does it draw the viewer's eye even more to the centre face?

Hi thanks for the comments!

Its quick, but the buffer doesnt really help. It gets full quite fast, and then just kind of blocks. So if you manage to control yourself and not shoot many picts in a row it works. Also focusing is not the fastest, and only works in AFS, AFC is a joke. If my work depended on it, I will just rather bring a dslr, i used to shoot a quite a few protests when living in Brazil and Mexico, and yes when things get moved a dslr is much much better.  I like been closed, (is part of the fun), so is no issue with the 28. The issue is that the Q, looks to small, so when things get tuff is always good to be recognised as a photographer and not as someone who is part of the protest and with the Q, you may be confuse as someone within the protest :(
 
Regarding toning down the last one, I will give it a try to see how it goes :)

Thanks – good to know that about the buffer and focusing in AFS. 

Interesting to consider how the camera brings a sense of distance from the participants. 

Cheers

Now a days, everyone has cameras, small, big ones, etc... but still the standard form photojournalists are DSLRS, so for security bodies, is easier to relate you to a journalist if you have a big fat camera :) a small one means you are just part of the people in the manifestation, which is not good :)
