RE: Mardi Gras Night Parades

Hi Sonny,

One of the wonderful things about digital is, it allows us to work at light
levels capturing wonderful photo moments we'd never have done with film. Oh
I suppose it was possible but it would never have looked like what we see
here. Certainly pushed to ASA 640 3 STOP PROCESSING! :-(

 

This is my kind of photo activity, kind of lighting to be quietly moving
through the throngs capturing interesting life moments when people
absolutely have no idea you are shooting.

 

It points up another reason without question.. "Well OK if someone were
crazy enough to pay me an ENORMOUS AMOUNT of money to shoot film" I might
consider it. However even then.. damn unlikely! Because the film captured
moments would never compare to what we can do with digital these days.

 

Neat stuff , no question. The Statue of Liberty Glass? A smashing great
moment! Simple and beautiful! Love digital. :-) Damn yer good old buddy! :-)


Cheers,

ted

This set is more streetphoto in tone.  It was mostly shot with a very wide,
very slow lens.
Look for the wine glass.  A woman was carrying it in the manner of the
statue of liberty.
