This continues from part 1!
All shots taken handheld, with my 550D, 15-85 IS USM lens.
We stopped off at St Pancras station for a brief coffee stop (again!).
Spent some time trying to get this shot exactly as I wanted, both compositionally, and exposure-wise. It's Martin Jennings' sculpture of the poet John Betjeman - who was fundamental in saving the St Pancras site from re-development.
"Imprisoned in a cage of sound, Even the trivial seems profound".
"Here where the cliffs alone prevail, I stand exultant, neutral, free, And from the cushion of the gale, Behold a huge consoling sea"
AV mode, 1/200, f5, iso200, @38mm, -1 av comp, pop-up flash - ETTL auto (to lift the statue a bit, and give it a little life)

Finally, when leaving the park, had a quick chat with this painter. He was rushing to finish, as he was going on holiday the next day! I said "Do you mind if I take a photo?", to which he replied, "I'd be disappointed if you didn't!" Nice chap!
