Pictures of 155th Anniversary Chinese Immigration in Suriname
Let me apologize in advance for the size of this post due to the many pictures. 🙂
Last Monday I went out with some friends to the celebration of the 155th Anniversary of Chinese Immigration in Suriname and I took some pictures at the event, which I am posting below. All of these pictures were taken with a Canon EOS 40D with either the EF 135mm f/2 L lens or the EF 50mm f/1.2 L lens. I didn’t bring any wide angle lenses with me so there are no wide shots. I didn’t feel like carrying more lenses, and didn’t plan on changing them too often either. I just brought the 135mm and 50mm lenses and forced myself to be creative with those options.
An indian at a Chinese celebration? You bet!
