Appetite from Jamaica Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a shot of the kitchen alley for 40,000 people at One Love Jamaica Festival in Tokyo, which is most exciting in a lot of events held in Yoyogi Park. Although there was filled with the savory smell of roast beef, it's far from easy to capture it in photos.
This shot was taken putting the camera on my head and pressing the shutter button at the moment when a Jamaican flag was blown by the wind, though novices at snapshooting want to shoot viewing the viewfinder.

Here are other shots (garbage, Colors) for better understanding of this festival.

Hi Hisashi,

an exciting snapshot filled with full of life and many colors. The idea was right to put the camera on your head and the use of a spherical lens gives the whole scene a new perspective.

Cheers,
Edi

HI HIsashi
You need to search to see the Jamaica sign and I don't see many rasta guys but the picture is full of colors and lively, and I like this.
Have a nice day JY

Hi Hisashi,

A very colourful market with a lot of people who seems to enjoy the day. Warm sunny weather, great colours, but also the wide-angle gave you a lot depth and strong lines in this image...i like that.

Regards,

Interesting colorful scene, Hisashi, very Harajuku and very richly detailed. Good use of the ultra-wide lens to fit even more of the delightful activities into a single frame, and nice result considering the "over-head" shooting. I also like the "colors" workshop very much.

Very colorful and happy shot.
I like the wide angle effect here again. There is so much action around. Very interesting scene,

Hi Hisashi,
Again your wide angle lens captures lot of action. Joyful festival feeling well present. These things are surprisingly global, real location would be hard to guess. I like the heavier branches framin on the upper right.
