South Texas Charro Days - Nikon D700/28-300
« on: February 25, 2018, 21:28:00 »
Charro Days is the big cultural event for Brownsville, Texas.  Gave me a chance to try out my gear and practice for an upcoming trip to Guatemala.  I had been posting a lot of "what to take"? questions and was planning on D700/24-120/70-200 f4.  But the forecast for Charro days was hot, dusty, and windy - I rented a 28-300 from Lens Rentals.  The conditions were difficult - 100,000 people crammed on the sidewalks, lots of dust, bright sunny backlit conditions, etc.  I missed the AF on a lot of the shots - blame it on user error, not the equipment.  Here are some of the better images - all are with the D700 except the street candid which is a pocket Panasonic LX7.  I'm open to comments and criticisms.  Let ' rip!
