WHEN THE BRITISH government decided to triple the cost of college tuition, students in London went on the rampage. They burnt cars, smashed windows and then kicked Prince Charles limousine (and allegedly shot it with paintballs).There was not a plan for the protests - they began in front of Parliament and then roamed throughout the city.
The photojournalist who created the above image, which ran on the covers of newspapers around the world, was fairly lucky. You can read about his adventure here. It details his good instincts and technical smarts in creating an image of the royals in their car, panicking while surrounded by screaming youths.

This shot is great. This guy definitely had to be very determined and focused to get a shot like this. Luck may play into it but not any person with luck can get shots like this. Props to this man or woman.

... Her face is priceless!
more power to the protesters! Doesn't everyone go to Europe just for the lower college costs?
The photojournalist was lucky he didn't get shot by paintballs himself... what a perfect picture to describe the situation.
