Mid-Autumn Festival - Chinatown Light Up 2008

Went with the family to Chinatown for dinner on 31 August and we came across the opening of the Mid-Autumn festival light-up at Chinatown. Was just expecting to see lanterns and lighted decorations along the road but did not realise that there was a whole show and we missed most of it. Missed the fireworks, the street show and the crowds.

That was not the worst of it...It was not the time to find out that my Canon S3IS camera was not very good for night action shooting. Example was this Dragon dance:-


Anyway, I did manage to get some shots that were not moving so much. There was this Japanese troupe:-




This is another shot of the men carrying the lanterns. I had added some zooming effect to make up for the poor shot.


While the men were carrying the heavy load, the ladies were busy with the drumming:-


REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING THE CANON 450D!!

Hi,
Sorry you missed most of this festival, it looks great. I know it is disappointing when you don’t get the shots you want, but honestly I like the movement in the first shot it adds great atmosphere same with the second shot of the men carrying lanterns.
