Rathyatra Festival 2010


Rathyatra Festival, Hindu Festival of Chariots, in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco 2010.

All photos were taken with my iPhone using Camera+ app. Camera+ is great. It has a zoom feature, guidelines so you can get straight shots, lots of neat editing features and effects. Before editing, the photos didn't look great. With some experimentation, I was able to improve them a lot.
