When I visited India recently I had an opportunity to witness local ceremony where the devotees decorate their Hindu idols with flowers. I thought this was amazingly done and did not miss opportunity to snap it
It was another beautiful night and had great time with wife and kids to witness those lights. It was shot using 24-105mm on a Canon 60D at 1/8 sec and opened the aperture at f/4.0 at 24mm. Also the ISO 640 came handy
I had the pleasure to photo shoot the Telugu Samiti Deepavali function last year. However I was unable to update the photo here. This photo was shot using Canon 60D, 55mm @ f/5.6 @ 1/40 sec. It captures the dedication and the focus that these members provide for organization cultural events
