Wow some of you may be thinking. Perhaps not at the photo itself but the fact that it is not my normal HDR edited image. Most of my photos from Occupy London around St Paul’s Cathedral I didn’t process in my usual manner. Instead I just edited them in Lightroom. Fir some photos I prefer this method as not all photos merit a HDRing (a term that I want to get out there more).

Anonymous are back and tinkering with various media sites. For those of you who do not know who they are a quick google search will bring you many answers. For those of you who want a quick explanation, Anonymous are a global hacking group made of people from around the world. They take justice into their own hands, hacking for political reasons and important matters. To read of there most current hacking head on over to Gizmodo.

Anonymous are represented by the logo that you see here on this flag at Occupy London. They also wear the Guy Fawkes mask but I will show you that another day.

The artworks of a protest

More from the Occupy London protests now. Walking around the camp site I stumbled upon a group of people drawing crazy designs on the pavement slabs. There was about 4 people either writing political messages, drawing faces or just doodling shapes.

This girl was one of them. It’s not my usual HDR work but I liked it all the same and I hope you do too.

St Paul’s Opening Times

I don’t always process photos as HDRs. Infact for most of the Occupy London protest images I just used Lightroom to process them. This is one of those files. I have so many from the protests that it would of taken me an eturnity to process them all in HDR.

Keep calm and carry on drinking

This mask these days is known for the front of the Anonymous hacker group. It is also used as the general face of protest. Crafted after the face of the notorious  Guy Fawkes, who tried to blow up the houses of Parliament (those of you who don’t know about the gunpowder plat, Google it), it has been taken on all over the world in “sticking it to the Man”. I’m sure there is the Anonymous group at Occupy London as their flag has been seen and i’m sure they will be there for alot longer.

Collect £200

I went back to visit the protesters at St Paul’s Cathedral for a second time. The place is still packed with protesters and even more photographers each hoping to find something better then the next. I found A giant Monopoly board made by some of the inhabitants. Each Square had a political message instead of a place.

They are going to be there for a long time yet as many attempts of move them on were thwarted.

Protesters at St Paul’s

I went to St Pauls Cathedral to take photos of the recent protesters there. I went there on Tuesday 18th October, where I think the number had risen to over 300 protesters camping outside. They are protesting over many things such as anti war, poverty but it started with protests against the finances of the country. The demonstration is part of a global campaign inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement in New York.

To see the rest of my images from that night click here to go to my blog post or here to go to my flickr page.

I was going over my images to make a portfolio the other day and came across one of my very old images. He is still there protesting after all this time.

Sad War- People have been protesting out side the houses of Parliament for decades but some people haven’t left since 2001 to try and stop the Iraq War.

Here is more from the protesters outside Parliament in London. More and more protesters are coming by the day and some haven’t left since 2001.

Police served some with an eviction notice a few months ago but they are standing their ground.

I went back to Parliament Square. More and more people have gathered there in tents to protest to Parliament.

This is a sign that has been put up for everyone to see. Its a great irony but i guess that is the point.
