I was still testing my Ricoh GR Digital and was surprised at the result of this documentary-type photo. There is no reason why it wouldn’t do a good job; just that I normally used it for more moody photos.
Anyway, back to the fire. I was shopping on the second floor of Borders and suddenly see a big group of people all pointing their phone cameras at the same direction. It wasn’t until five or ten minutes later I saw the black smoke. Not long after that, we were asked to leave the premises due to the fire at M&S. It turned out to be quite a serious fire at New Look (next to M&S). I could still smell the smoke three hours later when walking along Regent’s Street.
