Guest WPalank Posted February 8, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple of us met this last Saturday night to photograph the Chinese New Year parade in San Francisco (evidently the largest in the US). I thought I would create a thread to post the images. Leica M8 with 35mm Summilux ASPH lens. Thanks for looking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

carylwithay Posted February 8, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 8, 2009 Glad you all met and had fun. The photos are fun to see. Sorry I could not join you due to a prior commitment but next year I shall. Caryl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted February 8, 2009 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2009 William Attractive and deep colour, which conveys something of the excitement of the atmosphere. I particularly like the 5th photo of the little girl, for the colour, its natural nature and the composition Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauribix Posted February 8, 2009 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2009 Wow, William! Now I know better that I missed something really interesting. Did you use only your 35lux ASPH for these pictures? Ciao from Turin my friend! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted February 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted February 9, 2009 William, I missed this thread and started another.Here is my first image from the evening. I hope you had a good time, as usual we all got preoccupied and scattered. Kent M8, Zeiss C-Sonnar 50mm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted February 9, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 9, 2009 William, I really like the last image in your series, well done. Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted February 9, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 9, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Kent, your motto applies to me: I literally had a screw loose in my 50 & stopped shooting - but I'll relish everyone else's shots! Kirk To William: You're a master of this sort of 'ethno-portraiture,' in such beautifully modulated color! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JE Posted February 9, 2009 Share #8 Posted February 9, 2009 William You've managed to pull your signature color out of what I image was some difficult light. It looks like you all had a great time. The first photo's the most interesting for me...I'd even like a tighter crop. Nicely done all around, though. JE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WPalank Posted February 9, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks all. Yes Maurizio, 35mm only. Sorry that you and Jon couldn't make it to this event as well. Caryl, next year it is! Kirk, sorry I couldn't find you after we initially met up as I had a 50mm in my sack that went unused all night that I would have leant you. Kent, I really like all your images but the one of the little girl watching the parade is great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted February 10, 2009 Share #12 Posted February 10, 2009 ...Kent, I really like all your images but the one of the little girl watching the parade is great. William, Thanks. I actually was looking for a shot like this to no avail at first. After talking to someone for a few minutes the scene was right before me. Ilove when that happens Kent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eckart Posted February 11, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 11, 2009 Great Colourwork as usual, William. All your pictures are very close, but the girl #4 is unbelievable. Cheers, Eckart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdemas Posted February 11, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 11, 2009 OK, this made me laugh so I had to pop it up. I just loved the variety of subjects that were on display at this parade. Too fun Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
