Sydney Gay Mardi Gras

My trip to Australia coincided with the famous Gay Mardi Gras in Sydney. I arrived 4 hours early to get a prime front row spot for the parade. I was trying to get some good photo ops of crazy characters, but most of the parade happened after dark so I only managed to get a few pictures with the 50 mm lens and on camera flash.  My favorite was this pan and blur. It was super fun but the crowd was out of control with over 400,000 people.
