Fukuoka, Japan - Festivals at night

The Nakasu Lantern Festival

This image, taken in HDR at the Hakata Lantern Festival, turned out interesting with the blurred subjects.  In low light, HDR photography requires the camera to be on a tripod, as it automatically takes two photos in sequence, and uses slow shutter speeds.  I handheld the camera here, and this was the result.
