Latin Explosion

In response to the thread Lenses Wide Open I shot a series of photos lens wide open; only because I just about had to.

You had some tough shooting conditions to contend with John! I so wish you had caught focus on the gentleman in the last shot...you can just tell that he has attitude the way he is adjusting his jacket

Shane,

Thanks for the comments and critique. It was a very difficult shoot with both low and changing light and the crowd moving into the shots, but lots of fun.

I was about to say lots of fun and jostling in that crowd adds to the difficulty so I am not going to nit away plastic cups and stuffs. It is a celebration of something latino over there, leave it as is..it addresses the photographic situation...

I especially like #2 and #3 John I would desaturate the green on the bottle in #2 because it distracts a bit.

Hi Izzie,

Thanks for the comments and critique, I thought about cloning out the little oddities but felt they as you pointed out addressed the shooting situation and environment.
