Do You Rave In Your Bedroom?, Soho, London

Today I was tasked with photographing the Christmas display windows where I work. This sounds easy but the problem is Bond Street is very busy with traffic and people (both of which had to be excluded from the final images). To get some of the shots required I had to shoot from the opposite side of the road so had to deal with all the aforementioned problems. Strangely, with Bond Street they have made the road narrower and the pedestrianised area bigger but in reality this means that vehicles (both cars and commercial vans and lorries) just park on the raised pathway right in front of our building. It quickly lead to exasperation and a prolonged period of taking a large number of images (just shy of 200!), probably two thirds of which, I cannot use. The daylight shots are almost done but I also have to take shots as it gets dark (4 p.m onwards) to better show off the Christmas lights. I did a test today and it's looking like 5000 ISO and some exposure compensation to get a result!
Today's shot was of some torn fly posters I spotted in Soho. I can't rave in my bedroom as it's far too small but the kitchen is another matter entirely!
