CHRISTMAS TIME – THE GUGGEN BAND by sangwann

CHRISTMAS TIME – THE GUGGEN BAND

There was a Guggen band marching down Bisazza Street, Sliema, when we were shopping there on 8th December. I have been wanting to show some of the many shots I took of it but couldn’t find a slot to post them. Sometimes you take so many shots which you like on one day while you don’t capture any for days on end.
I took this shot while the band was still grouping up. From the lighting you can see what a lovely day it was.
Thank you very much for your lovely comments on yesterday’s shot and for your well wishes for the new car. By the way, Christine is finding it difficult to get used to it; she will in time.
I love the focus here and the shallow DoF

Great impact in this capture. They are certainly BIG drums.

Nice shot of the drums. I had to drive a different car today so I sympathise with Christine!

Fabulous shot Dione, looking forward to more. It won't take long Christine & you will love the new car!!

Great shot! I agree with you perfectly - I have "inspired" days when I capture loads of shots which I may never revisit, and I also have totally "uninspired" days where nothing seems interesting for a photo!
