Beautiful day, gorgeous light, happy people – what more do you need?
A few portraits from our local spring festival last weekend. It’s not the first time I have shot the festival, though I took a different approach this time.
D700 + 50mm lens. All were taken close to maximum aperture, usually within a few seconds of asking if the subject minded being photographed. I reduced saturation and added some film grain in Adobe Lightroom.
(Another of our local festivals. It’s held every two years, so perhaps I’ll shoot it again this Autumn?)

excellent photographs, thanks for sharing.
These are great. 50mm and the guts to approach people. Gotta love it!
Excellent, really. I just wish I had your courage to approach people for a photo!
The worst that can happen is people say no :-)
Amazing photos! I love the first one, what camera do you use?
Hi Yonasu. It’s a D700 with 50mm.
