Go Jump…

Apologies ahead of time for this. (If you’ve seen these adverts, you’ve now got the tune in your head!!)

Go Compare billboard

I saw this a couple of days after it went up and couldn’t resist it. For those who know the adverts, they are probably the most heinous, irritable, awful adverts ever thrust upon human kind. So seeing this just summed up the feelings of a nation.

Alas, all is not as it seems though. Seems the people at go compare realise just how irritated the British public are by these, and have created about five different vandalised billboards. So it’s just another advertising ploy. At least they have a sense of humour about it.

They accompany the latest TV advert which sees a masked assassin blow him up with a very large comic bazooka. Strangely, this advert has received a lot of complaints – which begs the question – who is it that really lacks a sense of humour?

The Way Out

A difficult one this.

Merrion car park

The exposure range here was quite wide. An added challenge was the fact I had to battle cars, so it was a case of setting the exposure, taking a rough guess at the focusing distance, and then waiting for a gap in the traffic to take the shot. I managed three, one exposed right in the middle, one over and one under. This was the middle exposure and was the best of the three, though the composition – and the focusing – is slightly off. Still, something to try again. Maybe!
