Contest Behind The Photo - my post / Můj příspěvek

in #behindthephoto4 years ago

In my submission to the competition "Behind the photo" I would like to introduce you one photo. It was established in May 6, 2017. These days the traditional Freedom Festival took place in Pilsen.
It is a celebration of the anniversary of the end of World War II, when the city of Pilsen in West Bohemia was liberated by the US Army General Patton.

Under Communism, of course, such celebrations were forbidden. The tradition of celebrations was restored after 1990 with the fall of the totalitarian regime in our country.

During the celebrations, the city of Pilsen is full of soldiers in period uniforms, historical equipment, flowering lilac and American and Belgian flags.

On Sunday I set out for the Freedom Convoy, Convoy of Liberty, which is the highlight of the celebrations, jeep ride with military history enthusiasts. There are also war veterans, who wave the enthusiastic crowds.
The action is very emotional.

I did not miss it in 2017. I took the place by the road in the city center, Klatovská street.
I held a small compact camera Canon PowerShot SX610 HS in my hand. Hopefully he'll take some good pictures.

Czech language:

V mém příspěvku do soutěže "Behind the foto" bych vám chtěl představit jednu fotku. Vznikla v šestého května roku 2017. V tyto dny se v Plzni odehrávaly tradiční Slavnosti Svobody.
Jedná se o oslavy výročí konce druhé světové války, kdy město Plzeň v západních Čechách osvobodila americká armáda generála Pattona.

Za komunismu byly pochopitelně podobné oslavy zakázány. Tradice oslav byla obnovena po roce 1990 s pádem totalitního režimu v naší zemi.

Při oslavách je město Plzeň plné vojáků v dobových uniformách, historické techniky, kvetoucího šeříku i amerických a belgických vlajek.

V neděli jsem vyrazil na Konvoj Svobody, Convoy of Liberty, což je vrchol oslav, jízda džípů s nadšenci vojenské historie. Nechybí zde ani váleční veteráni, kterým mávají nadšené davy lidí.
Akce je velmi emotivní.

Nenechal jsem si jí ujít ani v roce 2017. Zaujal jsem místo u silnice v centru města, na Klatovské třídě.
V ruce jsem sevřel malý kompaktní fotoaparát Canon PowerShot SX610 HS. Snad mi udělá pár dobrých snímků.

I shoot rows of jeeps passing in front of my eyes ...

Fotím řady džípů projíždějících před mýma očima...

And then I catch Mr. Ingram, a veteran of 1945. He's a vital man, even though he is well over ninety. Driving the city and warm greetings spectators makes him happy.

A pak zachytím pana Ingrama, veterána z roku 1945. Je to vitální člověk, i když je mu už hodně přes devadesát. Jízda městem a vřelé pozdravy diváků mu dělají radost.

At the end of the convoy, Stryker's current US Army transporters are passing through. They came to us from a base in Germany. They are accompanied by soldiers, young boys who greet the audience, especially children.
And this is my competition photo. It is not processed in any way, just a little cropped. It originated entirely by accident, spontaneously. Accidental shutter release.
I liked it, so I kept it.
I believe you will enjoy it as well.

Na konci konvoje projíždějí transportéry Stryker současné americké armády. Přijeli k nám ze základny v Německu. Provázejí je vojáci, mladí kluci, kteří zdraví diváky, hlavně děti.
A to je má soutěžní fotografie. Není nijak zpracována, jen trochu oříznuta. Vznikla zcela náhodou, spontánně. Náhodným stisknutím spouště.
Líbila se mi, tak jsem si jí nechal.
Věřím, že se bude líbit i vám.
