Like them. Especially the one of the guy in the white cap smiling. I feel it gives hope. You seem to have captured the feelings of the event (IMHO).

Just wish I had remembered to take my camera out.

Also the woman on the horse looks kinda cute.

did these people pose for you (did you ask them) or were they all just captured on the fly ?

Well done

They were all candid shots, didn't ask any of them to pose for me

Thanks for the reply!

Nice set of images, the only criticism I have is that this picture could have been composed a bit better to get the bottom medal in the shot aswell, if you hadn't zoomed in quite so close maybe.

Can't fault the rest though, nice one

Really like them dude, well done

THIS PHOTO is incredible !

Really great set! Think you have done the days event proud with your captures

P.S what kit?

P.P.S No idea why your website is called "Soft Focus" when most of the images are so crisp

Really nice set of pics, you seem to have captured a the mood of the day. So crisp and sharp! what lenses were you using? the 70-200 f4L by any chance?

JonnyGLC · 12 Nov 2006 at 22:33

All with my 70-200mm F/4 L apart from the wide ones, which were with my Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8

Keep the comments coming guys! Thanks for the ones so far too

Some nice shots there. I was there today, but as I was there for a party last night, I was too hungover to do anything

Shame as I had all my kit with me too :|

Johnny|lucidcomposure · 12 Nov 2006 at 22:56

I have some critic!

I would have come!! lol

Great mate. Some are odd composures and a few things clipped in the the majority are doing the event proud and as usual your people shots are very consistently good.

great work fella

ElDude · 13 Nov 2006 at 18:45

Amazingly I still feel hungover

Anyway, the shot with the woman in the red coat (with white hair). I'd have a go at converting that to b/w and upping the contrast. I reckon it'd be a nice shot like that

#16 for me m8, definitely captures the "remembering" of the past in the guys look.......well captured

jezsoup · 14 Nov 2006 at 08:06

Those photos are awesome really seem to capture the mood.

i do have a quick favour though, do you have many more of the actual army band that were playing, in particualr the french horn palyers as I know one of them!

Great shots there dude. My favourites are no: 6 and no:18. The 70-200 Lis really good at capturing the right colours and is pin sharpe. Love the bokeh on your pictures also. very nice to look at.
