Last weekend was the annual Newtown Carnival. This was an unexpected surprise for me given I haven’t attended the event for years. However, this year equipped with my camera made the day a wonderful experience… My buddy Graham Law took some really nice close ups and hopefully will be writing a blog post soon on his very own blog!
A quick frame of a small group waiting for the event to pass over the bridge.The center of Newtown.
A few minutes later...
All frames captured with the camera set to Aperture Priority mode.
One of the people participating in the event.
All sorts of costumes...
I love this frame! And it really works well in Black & White.
I'm still on the bridge taking these shots.
My last frame with my 70-200mm lens on the camera.
I just love the wide angle perspective that the 5D mk II now gives me.
I went for an older looking desaturated look in this frame.
I then moved to a different location in time for the 2nd lap pass through town.
This is one of my favourite frames of the day.
I'm just having so much fun at this point. You really feel great when you know instantly how this type of image is going to look afterwards during post-production!
Everybody seemed to be having a great time...
Can't remember how many open trailer trucks passed through...
Carnival almost at an end...
If only all pirates looked this good! 😉
I love the sun glasses!
The perfect moment to use flash in very bright sunlight.
Later during the ceremony I captured this wonderful frame.
