Carnival Smiles by phil_howcroft

Carnival Smiles

The Nottingham Carnival is a fantastic event. Big smiles vibrant colours (well mono in this case), loud music and amazing outfits.

This was the first shot I took. This group of ladies were from the same troop and were posing for a group picture with somebody associated with their troop. They were in a line of five on the wall. As the shoot was finishing, I shouted "Excuse me ladies do you mind if I take a photo of you all"

They struck up this pose :)

Excellent don;t you think ?

An edit form the jpeg file as opposed the RAW file, GIMP did a decent mono edit



great shot Phil

What every photographer wants ... and you always seem to achieve ... a great rapport between shooter and sitters.
