I took a trip down to Leeds West Indian Carnival last Monday, after the Manchester Pride Parade. That was my first time to this Carnival and it wasn’t quite what I expected.
It was different from Manchester Pride, where crowds and participants are separated. In this West Indian Carnival, you can jump in with the parade and dance along, which I think is the best part.
Photography session was tough, as people were constantly moving in front of me. I only managed to get a few decent shots.
And as usual, after I uploaded my photos to flickr, I will browse around to learn from other great photographers that shot the same event. Guess what I found today?

This wonderful photo was taken by Roger McNally, you can see a different size of this photo in Roger’s flickr. I didn’t know that I did that, hmmm, why did I do that? I am still scratching my head, I am sure I didn’t get drunk that day…haha, anyway, moment well captured Roger, well done.
Here’s another action shot of mine, taken by Roger’s girlfriend.
To see more of my photos from Leeds Carnival 2007, please go to my flickr or my newly built slide.

It’s was a great day but definitely tough trying to get good shots with so many people about. I really enjoyed your set of the carnival.
I’m glad you liked our action shots of you at work..
