Shooting the 5k Foam Fest....

So, got up on a Saturday morning to go shoot pics of the Foam Fest in London. The weather was gloomy, but the mood at the event was amazing....Hundreds of people were already in line to register for this fun filled event by the time I got there. Since I expected to walk around a bit... the lens choices were reduced to 2. I took my Sigma 24-105mm f/4 lens and the Sigma 10-20mm lens with me.

After shooting some shots of people waiting to start the race, I decided to take the long way around and follow the 5km track so that I will come across all the obstacles. Half way into this long (long long....) walk, it started raining as well and the $4 rain sleeve I got from Henrys ended up saving  me 1000s of dollars worth in lens and camera gear from the elements.

Though I felt exhausted after following the race track... it was an amazing experience... and this gave me the chance to capture some of the most unique expressions of joy I have ever recorded. I must say that I ended up using the 24-105 lens almost all the time except in the last mud pit where the extra wide angle gave a unique perspective of people trying to climb out of the mud.

Here are some of the results.
