Chris, everything in those pictures seems to be moving! Here's mine from the day, taken with my phone: <http://www.web-options.com/Barbican.jpg>
That Fuji is a fantastic camera - very impressive indeed. Thanks to Chris and family for putting up with me yesterday at such short notice. I had earlier said I couldn't come because of a prior commitment. However, when I turned up at my prior commitment I discovered I was a week early! So that left the day free to see the exhibition, which is enormous. Like Chris, I particularly enjoyed the shots of South Africa, and the freedom rides. And Eggleston, one of the greats who changed the way we look at the world.
