The official parade of British medallists and other competitors took place today in London, commencing near Bank, not far from where I work. I ventured down armed with my E-M5.

Unfortunately I had forgotten the parade was on, only had street shooting lenses (though thankfully I had my 75mm) so some of the closer shots are thanks to cropping. Never mind, at least I didn’t decide to bring my X100 with me today (fixed 35mm lens)!

 

Update: as a postscipt I would just like to point out that it’s pretty difficult to take pictures if this is your shooting position (arms above head, screen out and hope for the best..):
