Stillwater Pow Wow

This weekend the Stillwater Pow Wow takes center stage at the Anderson Fairgrounds.  I have the fortune of photographing this event for the Redding Rancheria and Win-River Casino.  This is a great event with lots of moments.  One has to be very respectful of the tribal members and ask permission to take photos.  The outfits are colorful, the energy is great and the atmosphere is festive.  If you are thinking about attending, do so.

I shot this photo at last years event.  If you follow the link above you will see other photos I took.

Technically Speaking:
I shot this photo at sunset on the second day of the event. I was laying on my belly to get this shot.  There are grand opening ceremonies each day.  That is a great time to shoot.  It is late and the sun sets fast so bring a flash.  This was shot with my Nikon D200 with a Sigma 14mm lens.  The ISO was 250.  The F-stop was 4 and shutter speed was 1/400th of a second.
