Liverpool's Chineese New Year

cyKey · 30 Jan 2006 at 16:05

The Chineese New Year as celebrated by the people of Liverpool. A very popular event which involved me running around the back streets of Liverpool like a paparazzi trying to beat the crowds to get the shots. I saw a lot of girls with Nikons, and one poor Nikon owner didn't realise he attracted the attention of a Chineese Dragon.

A very fun event. Got a bit samey towards the end, but I still till my batteries died to make sure I got the shots I wanted. Mainly the dragons by the archway.

I'm liking the distortion effect from the 10-22 - some nice pics in there.

What's the blotch in the top right hand corner of the first pic - a spec of dust?

Excellent series Cykey. You really have a w-i-d-e lens dont you! Numbers 2, 4 and 6 stand out for me (but please 'shop out the dust on #1!).

Good job

I want a 10mm lens O__O

Great shots, fantastic tones

Great shots there. I think the first one is awesome except for the dark area on the right. But I still love it.

Cheers guys

Yup, 10mm can be a godsend

The shot of the guy with the fan was right in his face and yet it seems so far away. The last shot has funny exif due to the lens not being correctly attached.

No6 for me too, although No1 really gives you a feel for the crowd, nice stuff

That's strange because I thought that the 10D couldn't take EF-S Lenses like the 10-22?

It can't. It can take a Sigma 10-20 though

Aye it sure was hectic. Lots of running through back alleys trying to beat the crowd
