Dia de Los
Meurtos, Exit 270 style. It is the day
we mourn those that left, and celebrates those that are here. 35,000 participants take part in the procession
that winds for two miles through the downtown streets. It can be best described as a cross between
solemn and an Irish wake. I shot over
150 photos of the participants in color, while the colors were vibrant and the
painted faces were a rainbow of colors, I decided that a conversion to black
and white was a better representation of the experience. I used my street camera (Sony Nex7) with Sony
f3.5 18-55mm lens and for wide shots the Sony f2.8 16mm coupled with their
fisheye converter lens. Most of the
images were shot at ISO 100 through ISO 400.
I kept my aperture at f8 to f11 and with some help from Photoshop my
imagination came to life.
