Bandstand with People

For Exercise 18: How space changes with light I had some shots of a local bandstand which demonstrated a place which changed with light but was somewhat devoid of people. I had thought to use some of the images for the third assignment but dropped them due to the lack of people and lack of real evidence of people.

The bandstand does have various teenagers that hang around in the evenings and the occasional empty bottle of 'Buckie' (Buckfast Tonic Wine) testifies to this but it was not the sort of image I was after. So I was pleased to see the bandstand in use during the recent Bo'ness Children's Fair Festival.

This general view shows the park full of people, bandstand on the left and town hall in the background:

And here the event sound and PA people, well you didn't expect an actual band did you?

Here I have opened up to f3.2 to pick out one of the individuals and get some separation from the background:
