Focus on life: week 8 - Monochromatic

This week Sally told us to focus on Monochrome and here are my pics....


and here is what he was looking at....


The soldiers from 7 Parachute Regiment Royal Artillery, matching along Esher High Street to mark their return from Afghanistan



They were accompanied by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery....


It was very impressive


and very loud!


All the children enjoyed watching it immensely 


and just to show the difference black and white can make...


It changes the whole feel of the photo


This was after the parade and was a "well what now mum" look.

I'm off to Sally's site to see all the other lovely posts, why don't you join me?

Have a fantastic weekend x

  1. He has such lovely blue eyes in colour! I think kids look better in colour! Some scenery seems to become more dramatic in black and white!

  2. What a great parade you captured with your camera. He looks so serious in his viewing of the parade. Wonder what he was thinking.
