Love the story about Columbus and the red moon. But got out and had a chance to shoot some pics of it…

Carnaval in Buenos Aires, Argentina
I had a chance to witness Carnaval in Buenos Aires. Having grew up in New Orleans, I have an idea what Mardi Gras is like. This is very close.
Very colorful costumes. But… the simpsons???
Definitely a “The Mask” look alike… Was keeping my eye out for the dog though…
And, what would a parade be without bands?
Doesn’t everyone just love a marching band?
The other fun thing about it was the herds of kids spraying each other with cans of perfumed soap… Wish they had that when I was a kid.
And, popularity has it’s price… the more popular, the more foam…
All ages where in the parade.
Great food along the sides of the routes.
Definitely a fun time was had by all… especially if you were a kid. Though, I saw some grownups (old kids) getting into the foam wars also.
Definitely an enjoyable time at the Carnaval…

Let’s try this again with the tree and the backlight…
I think the saturation, color and subject is a bit better…

Woohooo… new filters and camera parts…
It’s so difficult to get high tech stuff here. Typically, I have to find someone coming to Buenos Aires and trust them with transporting my stuff…
Star filter from the window
Then a trip to reserva Costanera… yellow graduated filter on the sky
graduated neutral density filter on the sky
graduated blue filter on the sky .. definitely fixes the blue in the sky
graduated green filter on the sky
graduated green filter on the ground
combination graduated blue filter on the sky and graduated green filter on the ground… a perfect world…
graduated red filter on the sky … life on mars???
combination graduated blue filter on the sky and graduated red filter on the ground…
combination graduated blue filter on the sky and graduated yellow filter on the ground… Hmmm… the artistic possibilities have changed…
