Lundi Gras and Mardi Gras Day 2011

Here are the pictures from Lundi Gras (Night) and Mardi Gras Day 2011.  The pictures taken at night were shot in manual mode at F1.4 between 1/150 to 1/250 of a second with Canon 50mm f/1.4.  This lens is great for shooting in low light when you need to capture at a fast shutter speed or if you don't have a tripod.

The warm light from the flame really gives a neat look.
