Protesters outside the Supreme Constitutional Court in Cairo, June 14, 2012. The court on Thursday ruled that the Islamist-led Parliament must be immediately dissolved, while also blessing the right of ousted President Hosni Mubarak’s last prime minister to run for president, escalating a battle for power between the remnants of the toppled order and rising Islamists.

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 ;)
