Changing of the guards outside the palace walls. I did a "Michael Elliott" -- he taught me how to take a photo while crossing the streets of NYC, yes, "playing in traffic." Here, I'm crossing the path where the guards are heading, so I quickly snapped this and could capture them walking straight toward me -- just before I got shooed on to continue to the other side.
Oh, yes, that is such a NYC thing to do....I remember crossing streets with oncoming traffic while putting my hand up for them to stop!! Great technique....by the time they catch on to you the shot is already in the memory card....you have to be fast on the draw! ;-))
