um... hmmm.

this shot was taken in 2006 during the CPE labor protests in Paris (check wikipedia ! :) )
and this is one of the many arrests that occured during the confrontations between police and ... the people.

it is shot with a canon 20d and a 50mm f/1.8

that is excellent - hinting at police brutality without actually showing the act.

En tout cas ils peuvent aller en soirée goth avec leur botte.

fantastic work, although sad...no solution seems to be happening...
great capture, I like the anonimity (took me ages to think of how that word goes) of it, I can't see any faces. Also, all the uniform ages the 'foetus' in different clothes.
good one!

Très dynamique dans le cadrage, l'inclinaison. Une zone nette sur l'image : la main gantée qui tient fermement le bouclier de plexiglas. Très fort.

Je vois que tu as lâché le f/1.8 :D

Même réaction que BloOdYsKillian pour les bottes, elles jettent.

Love the shot. So raw and spontaneous. Not sure why but I find your comment humorous.
:icongonzale:
j'ai eu des tonnes de shots surex (enfin, genre 5) à cause du 1.8, yavait une lumière trop forte... donc voilà. :)
