Autumn Parade
I was walking around at the annual Beaverdale fall parade in Des Moines, Iowa, when a friend grabbed me and said, "Make sure to get a picture of Allie in her new band uniform." She pointed out her daughter, and I crossed the street to get a better angle.
All of a sudden, the conditions came together to make a photograph rather than a snapshot -- the V of the formation echoed the V pattern gold buttons on the uniform. The orange-red of the tunics screamed fall, and the soft autumn sunshine backlit the scene to give Allie a soft fall glow.
I opened up to properly expose Allie's face in the backlit conditions, and I even got all the flutes standing at "attention"!
