I went down to the annual Ethnic Heritage Festival in Swope Park Kansas
City MO yesterday afternoon. My first time there, we are usually out of
town on vacation at this point. About 60 countries/ethnicities
represented, each with a booth selling food and/or crafts typical (?) of
the area represented. E.g., the ginger cookies which, to quote the lady
who sold them to me, "were made from the recipe my grandmother brought
from Denmark." Masks from several parts of Africa.
I took my *ist-D and a minimalist set of lenses: the FA 20-35/4.0
discussed here recently and my FA77. All of the selection in this
gallery were done with the 77mm except for the first Masks shot, done
with the zoom at about 24mm effective length.
Minimal Contrast and Unsharp Mask work in Photoshop elements. A couple
were slightly cropped. Basically I took my favorites and threw them
together.
