Vesak Lights

Vesak Lights (Copyright (cc) 2008 B Kahuna)

PANADURA, Sri Lanka -- On this trice-blessed night Kahuna took out his camera with the intention of taking some photographs of the Vesak lanterns. However, He soon discovered that setting the lens to manual and defocussing led to better results, particularly with the strands of colored electric lights, some of which can be seen above. Something unusual for a change.

Captured on 19^th May 2008 with a Canon EOS 30D (EF 50mm 1:1.8 II) on aperture priority (f/1.8) and manual defocus.
