Next time I'll just take a phone.
Ready for the after party.
When I left the house I had no clue that I'd stumble across an event which celebrates Indian culture, in Republic Park. I just grabbed a camera and lens that seemed to be appropriate for testing out my new VF-2 EVF. But I did find the park, and the event, and within minutes I had passed my initiation and my camera and self were covered with brightly colored powders. Once you've been "dusted" you might as well just let your hair down and photograph to your heart's delight. I did. Everyone was kind and in good humor. The powders were flying. The D.J. was blasting music. People were dancing, eating food from various authentic vendors and generally having a great time.
The camera, and my clothes, cleaned up just fine. It was really just f8 (or f11) and be there. And that's when it's the most fun. Glad I didn't have time to "prepare" and fret over what gear to take. Anything would have been just fine.
