Student carnival

So there's a students' carnival happening every year in every major polish city. There's a huge, colorful parade and a week of drinking and heavy partying.

Today was the parade day and I decided to come. And this might be one of my best decisions this year. This kind of events are like the photography goldmine.

There was a talk lately here on tookapic about taking pics of strangers and street photography. Well, if you'd like to start but feel to shy, an event like this is a great opportunity. There's a lot of other photographers around. People are used to cameras being constantly pointed at them. They're a bit drunk, which also helps ;)

Some of them even asked me to take their photo. Some just stood in front of camera and smiled. Just remember to thank them later.

This was a great day for my photography for sure. If you're interested, I published more photos from today on my site.
