Walking Tall (Make That VERY Tall)

Thanks Dinni – the expressionm is regal, serene and majestic all rolled into one, isn’t it?!!

Thanks, Sean – it’s always a very colourful parade.

Thanks so much, Gemma – I also thought the headgear was reminiscent of a jester’s cap. You would have seen these stilt walkers on the TV news last night, after the parade!

Thanks, Cheryl. I thought it was a really clever, intelligent design ….

Thanks, Betty – it’s always a colourful parade each year!

Thanks, Munggo. The DoF was important to me, so I waited until the stilt walker had those trees in the background.

Thanks, Kat. I’d rather be using a camera than trying to use those stilts!

Thank you, Connie, the light was VERY bright that afternoon, which is why I used the trees as a background to the pastel shades of the costume. Glad you like the result.

Madama Butterfly – that should have been my title. Thank you, Shulie!

Thanks very much, John. Not every day I have to point my camera so very high to take a shot of a human being!

Thank you, Steve – it’s the first time I’ve pointed my camera at such a huge angle to shoot a human face!

VERY clever comment, Georgie. Yes, the colours made my eyes pop!
