At the Parade, SF Chinatown

richardman

SF Chinatown New Year parade is usually held ~15 days after the Lunar New Year. There were billions of people there, and the people were far more interesting to shoot, not that I am bitter that I didn't get a good spot or anything :-)

Some interesting scenes. I think this series, though, is lacking some needed contrast.....stronger blacks would have benefited a number of these shots.

Thanks Tom. As these were taken in the shade, I tweaked the values in the dark and shadow to separate them a bit more. I think it does help.

Please keep the comments and critiques coming. For a long running series like this, I could use help in fine tuning my message.
