Speenth Posted July 29, 2008 Share #1 Posted July 29, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) On Sunday night I wandered around Vienna's annual Afrika Tage Festival on the Donauinsel. These images were taken handheld, with only the benefit of the electric lights in the stalls. Technically they're not up to much, but maybe they impart something of the atmosphere of this lovely event. [ATTACH]97195[/ATTACH] Tonight I'm going back for more - a Senegalese band is playing. I'll be taking a tripod this time. [ATTACH]97196[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguewave Posted July 29, 2008 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2008 Atmosphere aplenty. Lovely work. Nice control with those hot, bare lights. Looks like fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speenth Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share #3 Posted July 29, 2008 Atmosphere aplenty. Lovely work. Nice control with those hot, bare lights. Looks like fun. Hello Ben, Thanks for the kind remarks. It is fun! Our friends' two year old daughter played on every bongo and manically tapped out tunes on every bone and stick xylophone she could find 'till dragged away close to midnight! (I know, irresponsible parenting ...). There's great music everywhere and a very welcoming feel to the whole event - If you're reading this in Vienna - its just a tram ride to Floridsdorfer Brücke !

All handheld - truly the M8's forte. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
