Hi All,

I was at the FolkLife festival this past weekend and took a few shots.

I love these shots! The expressions of the accordianist are really good. It looks like you had some nice light too!

What kind of lens were you using?

Nice Photos

Big John: It looks like a 70-200 f/4L

[Jal]

Thanks! It was cloudy so it was perfect diffused lighting.
The lens is Sigma 70-200 f2.8 EX.

[buginajar]

Wow. Haven't really thought of sigma for a lens until these photos.

Handheld or tripod?

[schmoelzel]

Nice captures and wonderful framing in the last one..........

[Titus213]

Very nice photos. The light is great and the capture right on. Looks like Seattle got the same weather the southern end of the state had.

Oh, and welcome to the forums...

[Jal]

Thanks. These are all handheld. There was no place for a tripod in the crowd.

Very nice, indeed.

The girl in the first shot is adorable. She has a great smile! The facial expressions on the accordion player are pretty funny...

Nice captures, I really love the smile on the young girl. :)
