Olympic games on the big screen in Blackheath

Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 11 Aug 2012

On the penultimate night of the Games when Britain won several more gold medals, a crowd gathered to watch on one of several public big screens. Here they are watching a medal ceremony. [Technical note: I was unable to get an exposure right for the whole scene, so have superimposed the screen taken on 1/30s exposure with the crowd on a 0.5s exposure. But the two photos were taken within a few seconds of each other.]
