Tomorrow I'm attending a demonstration that could potentially turn out violent.
How do I best capture this?
Long lens or wide lens? Video or photo? Etc...
>>2828057
24-70 and 70-200, ND filter not a bad idea if it's sunny since you want quite a thin depth of field so your subject doesn't just fade into the mass of protestors. I'd probably bring a mic too so you can video if needs be, but personally I'd concentrate on photo.
What's the protest by the way? If it's junior doctors or anti-austerity you've got no hope I'm afraid.

Thank you for your advise!
>What's the protest by the way?
There are several political demonstrations at the same time, with very different opinions.
The main parties I will follow is the Nordic Resistance Movement and the Swedish Anti-Fascist Action movement.
The first is basically a party for Neo-Nazis, and the latter an extreme-left autonomous movement known for being pretty hostile and violent.
If I capture anything of interest I'll upload it here.

Sounds like there's definite potential for a bit of madness there! Best of luck, and yeah remember to bring us the fruits of your labour!
Just get right in there and fuck shit up.

In my opinion you don't want to use zoom lenses.
If you have a 35, 28 or 50 you will be fine.
You want to engage with the subject on a much more intimate level to really capture what's going on and you wont do that with a 24-70.
All of these were taken on the fuji x100s with its 35mm lens.
Do >>2828077
Wear thick clothing and a helmet with "TV" or "NEWS" taped on. If there are riot police, work both sides of the line. Make sure both the police and the demonstrators know you're 'on their side.'
>>2828077
this should be on the sticky
Just go there and figure it out on the moment like everyone else
The whole event was relatively peaceful, only one fight started, and was interrupted almost instantly by the police. I didn't manage to photograph it, but you can watch it here if you'd like: http://www.dt.se/dalarna/borlange/tumult-utbrot-nar-nazistmarschen-drabbade-samman
Although there wasn't much action I'm going to upload a few shots. Feel free to critique.

That's it. Photographing people is harder than landscapes.

Those are some handsome well dressed protester.
Nice ones
Good job man!
>>2829004
Looks like they came prepared with riot shields and headsets too. And the counter protesters are literally a bunch of clowns. Sums up the current political atmosphere perfectly, imo.
>>2828974
Cool, some went cosplaying as Hitman
