This is an annual cajun festival in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana - right in the heart of Cajun country not far from Lafayette. I didn't even know this was occuring; the people at the hotel I was staying at mentioned that it was going on just a half-mile down the main road into town. Unfortunately, my favorite walkaround lens, the 1.4 50mm, was getting repaired, so all I had was the standard kit lens! While I was taking pictures of the Corey Ledet Zydeco band, a 'real' photographer got up by the stage to shoot, and I asked him about his lens. He looked at my camera and offered to let me use a couple of his pro lenses - and I did! It was pure joy using nice glass on some of the stage shots. (Starred titles are with the good lenses.) He was there shooting pictures for a museum doing a piece on cajun music. Nice person to meet! A fun afternoon and a bit too much cajun food! |
