Land of the free

[Chris Dodkin]

I revisited this shot from Saturday, this was my first frame of the day on the X-Pro1, and was taken as everyone stood and sang the National Anthem at the start of the parade.

The old ranch-hand next to me, got to his feet - closed his eyes - put his hand on his heart - and sang along quietly with the crowd.

Pretty darn nice. The subject is sharp and the background bokeh is good.

Thanks Ralph - f/2 on a cropped sensor definitely gives more DOF than f/2 on the FF - I'm finding f/2 or f/2.8 ideal for portraits on the Fuji, and it still gives good bokeh.

Nice Chris. Has a real sense of peacefulness to it.
