More French fete pics


This post is just to show some more pics from my french trip in the summer. I was going to use them as my attempt at the sequence of composition exercise but I don't feel that they quite met the criteria. Nevertheless I really like some of the results and I've put them in a favourite's order.

 Pleased with this first shot as I had to crouch in the road until the band were almost marching over me and the band leader posed spontaneously. I would probably crop this into a wide frame losing some sky/and the distracting canopy and a small amount at the bottom too.

I like this shot but wished I'd used a larger f stop to blur the background and maybe a slower shutter speed to enhance the movement of the shaker. I'm fairly pleased with this anyway and like the colour.
 Again I like the overall colour in this photo and like the character 
full french tractor driver too.


Runners up pics....and why..........



I wish I'd got the whole of the horn in frame




 Like the stilts and umbrellas but just wish the character on the left had just been a little more in view




 Interesting woodpecker but feel I took it out of context with the framing.
 
This would be a nice photo of the 'Hotel de Ville'....if only the vehicles weren't there
