Exercise: Capturing the moment
This for me was the standout moment of the day, I had been taking photographs in and around where this brass band had been playing, I was watching the crowd quite closely and my attention was drawn to the gentleman in the photos below. At first he was just stood there with his companion/partner enjoying the music and you could see he was getting more and more into it.
He then broke from the crowd and danced up to the bands money box and dropped some money in. The reaction of the crowd obviously spurred him on as he handed over his shopping bags and preceded to perform a full on dance routine to great applause.
By watching the crowd and there reactions to the band I was able to capture the moment.
For me the images that personify this particular moment the best are number 6 and number 14. They just seem to capture the fun and spontaneity that led to the series of image.
