Sultan's 62nd Birthday Lantern Procession (Marches & Floats)

The following pictures are a series of marches and floats, some marchers were in traditional indigenous attires.




























Some floats had strong messages to send out.




Here's our winning float of the year; Brunei Shell Petroleum.

Personal Notes:
Use of direct flash seems to do the trick on the floats from a distance
On human subjects, cheeks tend to be scorched. In worse cases, entire face is overexposed.
Need to play around with aperture size, shutterspeed or watch the distance, otherwise adjust flash intensity.
Need to reread Planet Neil's Flash Photography notes.
Found Flash Photography on EOS systems and Flash Photography Made Simple.
