[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A TV crew in front of the British Parliament in Westminster. It was raining, and they had a special umbrella girl, just to protect the camera.
Unfortunately, I had no umbrella girl, so I had to use my jacket as a protector.

Oh very fine I actually posted a TV crew on job - happens not that often here around. Very fine action shot Yitzhak

A good action shot. I will crop it tighter in the right to exclude the policeman. Other than that, I like the momnet you've captured.

Ehh, it could be such a luxury for all of us - to have an umbrella girl/boy around, any time it starts raining...;-) Very interesting capture, Yitzhak! I like the tension on the face of the one without umbrella, as well as the relaxed expression of the guy under the umbrella...The policeman and the red truck make a lovely colourful spots. Very good job indeed!

Too bad the umbrella girl is not better visible - although the cameraman and the sound guy make pretty interesting subjects as well. I like the distinctive London elements in the background, like the red double-decker bus, the policeman, and the wrought-iron gate of what looks like a subway station entrance. From that perspective you could also have put this one up on TE. Well captured, Yitzhak.

IMHO a wider shot and more room on the left would be beneficial.

Another wonderful capture Yitzhak! So many interesting things to look at. The policeman on the right, the man with the book under his arm in the background. I love how you composed this one, very well done :-)

Great shot, Yitzhak. It's interesting to see how this mobile camera crew works. But I especially like the fact that you managed to include the policeman and the red bus. Well seen.

I like the Bobby in the background telling someone (you?) to point that thing in the other direction. Which of course is exactly what you are doing - as usual. Nice catch.
