@Dimitrios: Yeah, I was shocked at how difficult the environment was for Photography. The light was tricky, a bit too low but theres no room for a tripod and everybody is moving! I went ahead and underexposed a little bit, figuring less light was better than blurry photos, as I got burned on about 90% of the pictures I took in Vietnam. (Damn you overcast skies!)
That looks really nice Grant. I think you did a pretty good job despite the lack of adequate light. in fact I think that the dark background helps draw the eyes to the brightly coloured subjects n the foreground. I look forward to seeing some other photos from the festival.
