My first proper assignment at 10 Downing Street, the residence of the Prime Minister of England. I had photographed the door before which can be seen on my stock collection with Alamy. Tuesday 21st I was asked if I could get there in time for the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh's arrival as the Prime Minister was hosting a lunch for the Duke's 90th Birthday. I got there just in time. Balanced on top of my ladder, with my 70-200 lens on my camera, I managed to get this shot and a few other which can be licensed via Wire Image. A photo that 3 years ago I would never have thought I'd take. With the Queens in frequent visits to Downing Street, I probably wont get the chance to again.
If I get asked to photograph someone at Number 10 again, I have a few things I know I didn't do, which I'll remember for the next time. Just like anything, you learn by your mistakes and experience. Nothing wrong with the pictures, just a few more variations I should have done, even in the few seconds we all had to take our pictures of the event.
