OCOLOY Day 318: Remembrance Day

The mayor of Paimpont speaking this morning at the annual Remembrance Day parade held in the square adjacent to Paimpont Abbey. This year, in addition to the war-dead, the Mayor also dedicated the day to to the victims of terrorism.

As usual, the image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my profile.

This is nice especially in the B&W.

[Frank Hymus]

Works well. Especially for the terrorism attacks in Paris...

[Joan Robillard]

Nice how you got the official moment and Mrs. Sayer caught a social moment.

[Walks @ 7]

Very poignant.

[Kate]

Excellent comp!

[Sheila Norris]

Very sobering. Unfortunate that there are more to remember. Your picture captures the mood very well

[Scott Houston]

Perspective and composition nailed. Do you ever pick up another camera, or is it just this one for the whole year?

[Nina Ganci]

powerful capture!

[Margo Sayer]

Most fitting for the circumstances.

@scotthouston Thank you Scott. As the album name implies, all my daily images are shot with the X100T and its fixed 23mm lens and are also sooc. I don't really have the time to use other cameras but last week I did use a pair of full-frame Nikons at a photo shoot at the local kick-boxing club - you can see one image from that session in my Project 52 album here: http://365project.org/vignouse/project-52/2016-11-13 The first time that I've touched the Nikons this year!

@vignouse Thanks for the explanation; and I do like the boxing shot -- going long and spare doesn't seem to be a problem for you either. So OK with me if you want to blow the dust off the D750 again sometime soon!
