Red Ladies

Canon EOS 5D Mk III, Tamron 28-300mm, 1/320sec at f/6.3, ISO 640
Jane took this image in Frome, Somerset, and uploaded it to our Instagram page using the Hashtag #appicoftheweek. ‘A friend messaged me to say he’d heard that the Red Ladies from Extinction Rebellion were going to be present at some point during the day,’ says Jane. ‘They want to draw attention to the climate emergency, saying that when nature hurts, we hurt.’ Armed with her camera, Jane took up her position and waited. ‘They were happy to have their photographs taken, and I followed them as they made their silent and slow protest match around the town centre,’ she recalls. ‘I was quite moved by their protest – it made me more aware that things really do need to change.’ Picked by Claire Gillo, Acting Technique Editor, as our #appicoftheweek
