Much to enjoy in this BWV frame grab. I think it'll work well in a "POV" section for an upcoming talk. The line down the centre is really pronounced in this wider view. Pretty much the key moment.
Very wide angle frame grab from body worn video that shows the photographer's point of view at the moment a photograph depicting a street scene, taken at 02:26 on 1st January 2016, was made.

How lazy, desperate & self-absorbed do you need to be to nick a photograph of a man crying at his cousin's funeral for your Facebook page's crappy, clout-chasing pub meme? Here's the image source: www.michaelwyke.com/index/I0000p...
Meme posted on Facebook by lazy, desperate, clout-chasing social media account "The Great British Pub Crawl" with a caption that reads "The beer line up of doom" featuring a photograph of a man saluting and crying at his cousin's funeral and a caption pasted over the photograph that reads "When you get to the pub and line up is...Carling, Fosters, John Smiths and Strongbow".
