Belgrade was the site of a massive anti-government protest that students and activists led and later joined by farmers and other
citizens. More than 100.000 people gathered to protest against state corruption that led to the death of 15 people on November 1st, at a train station in Novi Sad. Belgrade is the world. Again.

This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
Comments are, of course, welcomed!
Ok ,so this was my first attempt to photograph a street protest with a DSLR and not using the Auto mode. My difficulties:
1.People are moving and you are moving too, everyone is pushing you to a side since you are trying to take a photo from the front and therefore blocking the way. Stability is a dream.
2.You need to switch to shutter speed mode as you want to freeze the motions. Then, as a matter of fact, everything turns underexposed.
3.You have to give up your favorite ISO100 and use a higher ISO : (
4.If you use Auto focus, you’ll be slow. If you focus manually, you’ll never get it right.
5.You need to do your best not to get emotional and just record the event. I find it the hardest part!
Well, “education” is what I need I guess ;)
Protests in Moscow against a new housing program which would see millions of residents in the capital resettled from their old Soviet-era apartments to newly built ones. Protesters believed the real reason behind the program was to move citizens from valuable real estate located in the central areas of the capital and open the land up for developers.

Thousands of protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Sunday in one of the city's largest demonstrations in years, airing grievances about war, climate change and a wide range of other complaints as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred worries about violence in the streets, drew together a broad assortment of participants, including peace activists joining with war veterans and people more focused on economic inequality.
