(NSFW?) Brazilian Carnival Parade, Long Beach CA.

Tee Why

A fun to shoot a fast paced event, it's basically a very short (1 hour) and very small Carnival Parade. I tried to include some motion blur to show... well motion. It gets crowded b/c it's held in a very narrow street in an outdoor shopping plaza, so the background gets cluttered and composition is tough. Basically, you are shooting and scooting for one hour.

1. Band gettting ready.


2. I apologize in advance but this may be a bit of T&A series.


3. Before the parade


4. Shiny stuff.


5. Dancing feet.


6. parallel curvature


7. Ms Beautiful Brazil

Great shots; great angles; great subjects. No apologies necessary for skin on public display.

No this event is in Long Beach. I didn't know there was also an event in Los Angeles though.
Have any info on it?

I live in Long Beach, Ca. Where was the Parade? Looks like the Long Beach Town Center but it is hard to tell.

Great pics BTW!

I think it is, just by Walmart. That's where the parade starts from.
