Just for Laughs - stilts parade

As part of the Just for Laughs Toronto tour there were outdoor festivities Saturday night at Yonge/Dundas Square. I'll be posting some of my faves.

Great!
I love how the light contours the red figure.

Did you use a fast lens?

I was fascinated by these pink creatures. I chased them to get the photos, and still wish I had gotten better ones (I may post some variations later on)

As for the lens, it's my 16-80mm Sony Zeiss F3.5-4.5 - is that fast? I don't know. Not sure what you mean.

It's not the "fastest" lens but it's not bad either. A "fast" lens means you can have an aperture of f 2 or something.
Sorry for the techie-talk but I've been shopping for a digital SLR all week so that's why I think about things like that.

I'm debating getting the pentax K10D or going with a Nikon D80. decisions, decisions, decisions...

That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. I guess the larger aperture allows for faster shutter speeds, i.e. a "fast" lens. gotcha.

I wish I could have gotten a faster lens but it's expensive!

I'm not familiar with the Pentax line of D-SLRs, but I know the Nikon series are very popular.

Have fun shopping... let me know what you get!
