Foolmoon on Washington

April 3, 2016

A crowd gathered at 8pm on April 1, 2016 for Foolmoon, a festival with glowing sculptures and puppets, dancing and light shows. It was a challenging photo shoot, with very low light. I used a Nikon D810 with a 20mm 1.8G FX lens, shot at F1.8 and ISO 5000 for the photo of the guy on stilts. The university of Michigan football team’s spring game had just ended, so the crowds were big. Two people in front of the new Pretzel Bell restaurant at Main and Liberty said “we won” when I asked them how the game was. Excitement in town is at an all time high with Jim Harbaugh as head coach. Now on to Festifools, and Festifootball. It’s the glory days of Ann Arbor once again.

•• Foolmoon photo below was shot with a Nikon 20mm 1.8G FX prime lens at 1.8 and iso 5000.
