On January 3rd, 20817, I went to the Chinese Lantern Festival in Cary, NC, with my photo friend, Pat. This is a night time event during Dec. & January at the Brooke Amphitheater. We spent 2 hours walking around and take lots of images. I used my P & S P600 which has a zoom feature. These structures are made of fabric and wire supports with lighting inside to look like animals, lanterns, flowers, etc. I had to decrease the light exposure to get images not to have highlights blown out. There was not a crowd that night but the way these lanterns were arranged it was difficult to isolate them just by themselves since other structures could be in the background. Therefore I used PSE 11 to help blacken areas or the clone tool to remove unwanted artifacts. Images were cropped slightly for better composition. I plan to add the images I liked best to an album on my Facebook page.
