Chennai Sangamam is a festival held every year to celebrate the language and
culture of the southern state of Tamil Nadu (to which I belong to) over four
days during the harvest festival of Pongal in January. It is free, and is
held in half a dozen public areas (parks or beaches) across the city. Here
are a few photographs taken over the last couple of days at a park close to
my house. I went back to primes after a long time as I needed fast lenses -
all photographs either taken with a Nikon D700 with either the 50mm f1.4 or
85mm f1.8 (both rather old in the tooth), depending on how close I could get
to the stage - these events draw pretty big crowds!
