Dragon Parade - Chinese New Year 2

2010.02.24

One thing i learned from this? you have to give the dragon a dollar at least as a sign of token and goodluck and to let them posed for a while for a shooting session , i dont know that ! if i know it would be a better angle shot...

this one i learned a lesson again , the aperture should be F8 to make the DOF deep and show the building as a background the result would be neat is'nt it?...

I guess i am too close ? ha ha!

Hmmm i almost mistaken her to be Jessicashan,,,ha ha! sorry jessica just kidding!

Continuations of the Chinese New Year Parade..

i find 3# very good photographed, it shows the chinese dragon and we can see the background is a temple.. it for sure make us the feeling of the chinese new year! ;)

Great pictures & comments. I was busy this year and missed the celebrations in our local chinatown for the first time in many years. Thanks for posting

Amazing colors in these shots! I think the DOF in #2 is fine, it helps to focus the attention on the dragon and not the background.

Great shots of dragon in #2...you are too critical of your own work :-) Always striving to be better right? Enjoyed this part of the parade.

Ha ha, I like specially the dragon, because my husband is a iron dragon in the chinese zodiak! ))

Those dragons are awesome!
I guess it's not easy catching them with the camera,
but you did a great job :)

Nice set again Rob.., I do find no2 quite apppealing with the shallow dof! But i think the dragon is about 1/3 stop overexposed!
Thanks for sharing!

soubhagya · 2010-02-25: 04:42

gonia · 2010-02-25: 06:45

I love the wondrous dragon,- but I'm a poor monkey...:)

somogyvari · 2010-02-25: 12:18

great set man

josejacob · 2010-02-25: 13:11

Nice set! i dont think a larger f number in 2 would have improved the picture..now the subject is free from the background thru the nice DOF. .. I also think you have to darken it a bit (check histogram)
