La Machine - Day 4 - Part 1

[petemc]

La Machine on the Saturday. The morning turned out to be a little disappointing. A few thousand people turned out to hear some music. La Princesse didn’t do anything but sit there in the fake snow. Nice to look at but a shame for those people. Later she did wake up and went for a walk around town. I originally planned to be in the crowd but I came out the station on Water St and the crowd was insane. I didn’t like the idea of battling through to get a few quick photos so I was able to get on top of the town hall. From there the view of the crowd was simply insane.

The first photo makes me think of Dead Rising :o (I'm sorry, random people in photo!)
I absolutely adore 6 and 19.
You make a photo like 13 look so good when I know my attempt would look so uninteresting and miss the point.

If its any consolation I took more that were much nicer, isolating the girl even more so and just focusing on her crying and looking right into my lens but I didn't nail the focus. She was just out of focus and basically the shots were ruined.

Poor girl in 13, I'd be whining too if I was her ae and there was this giant spider!

Great pics again, really catch the atmosphere.

How many men does it take to drive the spider?

[petemc]

Thing about the girl is she was about the only one I saw crying in the whole 5 days. I think it took 8-13 people to drive it.

Aw. I'm fairly sure I saw some adults crying too.
