A Friendly Smile

A Friendly Smile by Carlo Nicora.
I will never be tired of saying that grabbing the camera and going in the middle of a crowd during a protest or a carnival is one of the best thing you can do if you want to shoot people. You will not find a lot of disgruntled looks or many suspicious ones, instead many times your lens will be welcomed with a nice smile and some laughs.
Another good thing during this Carnival was that the road where the parade passed was not sealed, therefore I had the possibility to find a perfect spot where to stand. Exactly in the middle of the road I found myself in the middle of the flow of both spectators and paraders. It was like being inside it completely!
This girl was walking and dancing when she saw the camera. She posed a smiled at it and I took some photos of her. I have to admit that I do not know if this one is the best one I could have chosen, but in the next days I will post a different one.

You make it look so easy. It's only when you have tried to capture these sort of moments at an event like Nottig Hill Cranival that you realise just how hard it is! Superb.

I used your wonderful photo in a short video I made for youtube. I found it under the commercial commons section so I hope you do not mind.
