Festival - Oamaru on Fire II by maggiemae

Festival - Oamaru on Fire II

The scene in the historic area of Oamaru when the street was a seething mass of people all wanting to see the events going on! Steam Punk based, there were gorgeous costumes that people chose! Music and mayhem predominated! Classic cars and a steam engine at the other end of the street.
This is very cool! You definitely capured music and mayhem!

@elizabeth264 At some time I was shuffling along this street holding my camera still attached to its tripod, not being able to get very far!

@beba8162 It could have been more candid if I had my flash organised for the wonderful costumes that came past me - with a body in them of course!

@kerristephens @kerristephens I found that even with a tripod you had to be so delicate in pressing the button - people only, were blurred
June 2nd, 2012  
@yonnie The light was provided, Yvonne, I just worked with it and that makes it easier!
June 2nd, 2012  
@marlboromaam The mood was the performers - belly dancers, flame throwers, people with masks on the end of poles!

@myautofocuslife Thanks Livia - my camera (not me) chose 1 sec for this photo which meant some was in focus but the people were a big blur!
