[Leica] IMGs: Farmers' Market at People's Park

[Douglas Barry]

That blue flag with the stars fluttering outside your office window has 
meant something over here, Nathan.
One of the benefits of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy is that 
almost all Irish farmers have diversified, have added value, and are now 
rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Mink lined underwear is de rigeur.

The lens cap was needed due to frequent light showers, and proved very hard to take off in a hurry. Turned out later that it was one that seems to work better on my 35mm Summaron. I probably got them mixed up while they have been resting :-)

With the crowds scurrying around, many photo opportunities were wasted as out of focus personages drifted between the camera and intended subject. I guess I'm a 35mm kind of guy and like to see the whites of their eyes. As a result, I had to dump a fair few shots.
