And you could see the effort they wer ehaving to put in to go <em>up</em> the esplanade - probably used to riding on the flat. Mind you, I thought bikes weren't allowed on the esplanade... ;)</p> <p>@splitshift - it was great being down on ground level. I wasn't really any closer than anyone in the front row, but had no obstruction in front, and could move about for the right angle for shots and so on. Also meant I wasn't annoying anyone with constant shifting about and clicking (I was about 6 feet lower than the seating). And getting up to the high vantage point was just as good. Could walk about to get the best shot, not hemmed into a seat, and no-one in front of me since we were about 6-10 feet <em>higher</em> than the crowd (stunning views to the south!).</p> <p>Genuinely had a really fun night.</p> <p>It was a bit of a photo weekend - was official photographer at a wedding the next day. Sorted through 200 of the 700 shots so far. Not many wedding photographers will have a shot of 2 brides (it was a civil partnership) with the cast of Alice in Wonderland (we were grabbing performers as we walked down the Royal Mile). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3626#post-38058 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 11:22:08 +0000 kaputnik 38058@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The ambulance sketch at the end is rather amusing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3626#post-38053 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 10:55:39 +0000 SRD 38053@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>video quit funny! but anth's pics better! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3626#post-38046 Sun, 14 Aug 2011 09:28:18 +0000 chdot 38046@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://road.cc/content/news/40658-dutch-army-cycling-band-plays-edinburgh-military-tattoo-video" rel="nofollow">http://road.cc/content/news/40658-dutch-army-cycling-band-plays-edinburgh-military-tattoo-video</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3626#post-38013 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 15:08:20 +0000 splitshift 38013@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>reason explained ! well done ! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3626#post-38012 Sat, 13 Aug 2011 15:05:14 +0000 splitshift 38012@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>ok, so how did you get onto the display area, or have you got a good lens !
