I must say that the Copenhagen Carnival Parade counts as a real parade! The ear-threatening music and the hot sun contributed well to the devoted dancers in colourful clothing, when I watched the parade this saturday.
I took lots of photos, some incorrectly exposed, some out of focus, but lots of them pretty OK. Christopher, a colleague told me to start doing manual exposure, but I did not dare because I wanted to be able to seize the moment. However I can see from my result that it is just as high a risk to let the D300 measure the light. (That’s my experience at least, maybe if I go for spot measurement I could learn to do it more precisely.) Next time manual exposure. Promise!
Now I will sort again among the >1000 pictures to find some good ones to post. As Homestar would put it – Booowing. But you get a teaser in the meantime. One of the over-exposed shots, which I actually think turned out pretty cool.
