Description
Since many years the various French trade-unions held separate demonstrations for the Labour Day, May 1st. But with the crisis that left 2.5 million workers unemployed and more and more factories closing each day, plus a very conservative government, the unions made the choice of demonstrating together. 1.2 million people were in the streets asking for social change.
Techdata: Olympus Camedia C5050 at shortest focal length, 7.1mm (24x36 equiv. 35mm), 1/400s at f/5.6, aperture priority automatic, auto white balance, 64 ISO. Radial blur added in Photoshop CS3 Extended under Dynamic Filter mode to prevent people being recognized, use of the Filtering Mask to reduce the blur on the balloons, enhancement of colors through a Hue/Saturation Layer.

This was the result of a lot of occupations, both professional (with my comics) and familial ones. I am deeply willing to return more at Renderosity, but I do not know when I will find more time to do that, in spite of the fact that I have tons of pictures ready to post since months and often since years!…

This is an amazing photo. I can feel the movement in this. It makes me a little dizzy--which is a great effect. So colorful and wonderful!
