Photographer’s Note

Festival:
Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival

Location:
San Pedro, California

Background:
Port of Los Angeles Lobster Festival is the world's largest lobster festival and held annually in September. The festival offers discount Maine lobster meals and various entertainment such as street performances and concerts. A lobster meal is $17.00 plus $8.00 for an admission ticket. Next year, if you'd like to attend, I recommend getting a 2 dollar discount coupon for the admission from their website.

Photo:
These street performers are from Las Vegas. They are very talented and acrobatic. What I enjoyed the most is the performers' reaction while their friends were performing especially the facial expression, verbal feedback and a load of encouragement.

So in this photo, I decided to use a narrower DOF and focus on the reaction the performer's friends. The guy standing on the right is one of the most acrobatic among them. Since I'm still new to action photography, I missed his performances. Most of his shots I got are mostly useless.

Note:
If you look into the busy background of audience, you'll see a little kid wearing a lobster hat. It's not much but I hope that offers a dash of lobster festival essence.
