A Night With The Blue Devils

This was an amazing experience. Hanging out with a bunch of young guys who are keeping their traditions alive and having a really great time. The Blue Devils are a traditional Carnival Troop. They’ve gotten a bad rap recently for harassing people, but I think that what they do is in the spirit of good fun. They play the Devils by threatening to take people to hell if you don’t pay them; “hell” is that they will try and scare you, or whine (Trinidad for grind) on you. It seems like a fun concept to me! like going for one of those Halloween nights at one of the big theme parks. The video show the devils getting ready for J’Ouvert night. I really appreciated the low light capabilities of the Mark II when I shot this scene. It handled it really well for just shooting under a sodium vapor street lamp at 1am. I shot the whole scene with the 50mm f/1.8 II because of the low light level of the scene, and the ease of focusing with the lens wide open.

Panorama Finals

I recently had the incredible opportunity to work on a documentary in Trinidad about carnival. It was an amazing experience in an amazing country. I was also lucky enough that the producer was flexible and allowed me to shoot my segments on the Canon 5D Mark II. It was quite an experience. This was the first segment that I shot. It’s the Panorama finals. This is where all the big carnival steel bands get judged on who had the best band for the year. It was really amazing being right on the stage with these men and women getting down and playing there is no sound on this clip because I didn’t edit for sound I just threw some of the nice shots together real quick so you can see what it all looks like.
