Elation

Elated
One of the tricks I have come across about taking pictures at a parade is not to focus your efforts on the parade/performance. Rather, try instead to look out for candid moments among the spectators of the parade…

This was what I did during the Colours of the World Parade at the Dreamworld theme park in Bangkok, Thailand. The reward was a shot capturing the spontaneous joy and elation of this boy watching the parade. I have adopted a monochrome approach to the final image since this made the boy stand out from the rest of the scene (because of the dark-coloured T-shirt he was wearing).

And in case you’ve missed them, don’t forget to see these other pictures I took from my Thailand trip: this is BAD, Ushering In The Compliments.

  1. You did an excellent job in picking out the boy who not only wore a darker t-shirt, he made a totally attention seeking gesture. =) Great eye!

  2. A good and memorable B&W shot.
    The boy in the black T-Shirt was standing out allright. But, the expressions of the other spectators are more interesting to me than the boy in black.

    Well done.

    Have a great season.
