Astrovan

The Astrovan

By 2 am we were all set up and now had quite a while to wait, as we watched the security helicopter circling around, its doors wide open and armed men clearly visible inside. Parked in the quadrangle, to the left of the building's exit door, was a black armoured vehicle, its seriously armed crew keeping a cautious eye on us media folks.

After taking some photos of the Astrovan and the security vehicle I set my camera to burst photos. This would take 2.5 images per second as the crew walked out. I had not had a chance to try my new camera, and had no confidence it would make useable photos in the dim lighting. A few test photos suggested it would make some images, but of what quality I could not tell.
