Festival in the city and the weather is good. Hurray!!!

dopa73 · 04-30-2006, 09:59 AM

Finally; a festival in the city. There is a bbq competition, street theater, an international market, etc. As a bonus, the weather is going to be good also. In the morning and early afternoon it was still overcast but as the day progressed, it got sunnier. I took a lot of photos and have a lot to process. Here are the first 8. Let me know what you think.

This girl is with the organisation of the festival.

Just a few girls who were soaking in the atmosphere and having a good time.

Then I spotted this girl with the exact same lens as I was using..... After she'd taken her shots, she walked past me, looked at my gear and gave me a big smile. I almost melted......

It was very crowded so, it was not always handy to use the 70-200 lens so I also took shots with my 18-55 USM kit lens. I really have to save up for another L lens 'cause the shots with the kit lens are not sharp enough.

Great shots Dopa, thanks for sharing.

The weather was pretty spectacular yesterday and I too was out shooting; a lot of downloading and processing to be done, but hopefully the results will be worth it

Great shots! It's always nice to have masses of people on the move... they don't pay attention to someone shooting.
