On the third day...

[zafra52]

I suppose it can be said to be of the social documentary
type because it reflects a social and religious event of
the date. There were large crowds and it was a case of
lifting the camera over your head and shoot overhead
trying to get the general atmosphere of the event.
I hope you like it.

Very nice, and great colour.

I think it might be good to modify the neckstrap of the guy in the bottom rh corner so that's a Nikon one.

Or crop the image to exclude him.

Nah. His expression says what he thinks of Canon. Leave him in.

His expression says what he thinks of Canon

That's a classic look used to communicate that he got high ISO banding or F%^&up focus.

Jesus was black?! Wait till the pope hears of this…


Cheers
Steffen.

Looks like a spray-on tan....

[zafra52]

Thank you for the comments.
Being a Canon user, I can empathise with his
facial expression and sense of bewilderment.
Sometimes, I look worst myself.
I don't know how to break this gently guys...but,
Jesus was a born in Palestine, now Israel, so
it is very unlikely he was blond and had blue
eyes - as Hollywood wants to make us believe.
He was up and about all the time walking and
preaching (no trains, buses or plains) so it stands
to reason that he would have had a healthy suntan
and darker completion.
Seriously, whether you believe or not, the Holly
Week in Seville is a wondrous spectacle and an
experience that it is impossible to capture on camera,
irrespective of brandname.

Hey Zafra,

Here it's better to show a wider shot as well so that a scale is established...ie 100s of people.

[zafra52]

Thank you Surenj. This is another view of the the same event,
but I don't think is a good as the one above, which shows the
artistry of the paso (image and its stand). By the way, the
stand is carried on the shoulders of 60 people approx.

Is that some sect related to the KKK?

Seriously, the Canon guy does add an interesting reminder of where we are today....in a world where the media has a long reach

[zafra52]

No KKK, they pinched the idea from Spain.
Each church has brotherhoods (associations)
of penitents, only known to themselves, and
do charity work. Until very recently they were
all men, but I believe they accept now women
in their ranks. Each association have different
colours and the simbold of their patron saints.
To my knowledge, they don't go about burning
afro-americans or people of other races.

[surenj]

2nd picture is still not wide enough I reckon.

they don't go about burning
afro-americans or people of other races.

Sounds like a boring brotherhood....

[zafra52]

I wouldn't know, Surenj.
