This week's photomeme at Shutterday is Mob. A few weeks ago in Sri Lanka, I was standing waiting at the gate to our hotel, and this group of school kids passed us on their way to the cricket oval. It all started very quietly, but then all of a sudden, it erupted into a battle charge. The light was not great, and I had my ISO set on 100, not Auto, so as they raced up the hill, I have lost some of the expression in motion blur - but I can't bring myself to delete them - these kids were just so happy. I hope they won the match.
A Photography blog started with some lessons in October 2010, and then continued after my purchase of a DSLR in November. Now features galleries of extra photos from occasions mentioned on my food and travel blog, www.thehedonista.com
