While the protest was a declaration of JNU's op~9siti6n to imperialist policies, we also witnessed how some student groups like NSUI and YFE chose to be the ·local agents and spokespersons of the US. They raised slogans in favour of US foreign and economic.policies thafare devastating countries all over the globe and tned to defend the visit of Richard Boucher under the ple.a f "freedom of expression".

More with my Sigma EX f/2.8 Macro lens
This time on my mini tripod (7"-20" legs).
I was attempting some on-my-belly work (Pansy shots) with the stupid, whereas the Bridal Wreath were hand held but on burst mode.
The wind was bouncing plants at about 5-9 mph (8-15 kph). Trying to time the 2 second delay to fire the shutter when it calmed down was a challenge!!
Handheld I did on continuous shutter and used the lean-in mode of firing. Start in focus…rock back imperceptibly and then fire leaning through the focus point. It worked surprisingly well!
Made myself a book of travel photos.
For an explanation, check out the Photobook Set
I'll upload a few pages a day so stay tuned for more...
