This is the reason why I go to the Dinagyang festival almost every year.  This year, I was able to photograph some of the warriors.  For the techy one’s who want to know my setup…Here it is, Canon 1Ds Mk3, 50 1.4mm with Fader ND (variable ND filter) and Paul C. Buff Einstein E640 with the 8.5 High Output Reflector powered by the Vagabond Mini.  1/250th + 1.4 to 2.0.  Images were shot at around 2pm on a full hot day with some cloud formations but was generally sunny.
