A few shots taken from our local "Octoberfest." How many places hold this in September? ;-)

    The the one in Munich. Seriously. It normally happens outside of October as well. I've got to say that #4 certainly took me from thinking this was a small event to "Wow, that's a crowd!" No one looks particularly happy though. It's Wisconsin! Full of happy people with an unlimited amounts of cheese and beer. Why no smiles?

    As to the images, the first could be fun if there was more Oktoberfest in the shot. But, they're all too dark and grey. I had to crank the brightness on my monitor to get a good look at them. Don't worry too much about blowing highlights or other technical issues for the time being. But, if you want to shoot B&W, work on getting a good white and black point in the image that's part of the story and work from there.

    Keep shooting. Looking forward to the next set.

    Germany has what is known as "Fasching" or Carneval:

    I was stationed in Germany for 2 years- but unfortunately missed it during exercises.
