Gong Xi Fa Cai! - Gung Hei Fat Choi! - Happy New Year!

[VladimirV]

Today is Chinese New Year so "Gong Xi Fa Cai" to everyone! This is the year of the rat.

Although the big celebrations in London take place this Sunday today is the day to celebrate so I went to Chinatown to take a few pictures.

I was there yesterday actually (thurs 7th) but sadly my GRD battery was dead, so had to use my girlfriend's canon ixus instead-it's a nice little tool though. I'll try and post some shots.

Thanks parameters. It was GRD I handheld and processed from RAW but mostly just removed the color noise.

I will post some more pictures but did not get round to upload them yet.

Here's a different angle but for this i had my elbows propped on the gates:
