It is free, and is held in half a dozen public areas (parks or beaches) across the city. Here are a few photographs taken over the last couple of days at a park close to my house. I went back to primes after a long time as I needed fast lenses - all photographs either taken with a Nikon D700 with either the 50mm f1.4 or 85mm f1.8 (both rather old in the tooth), depending on how close I could get to the stage - these events draw pretty big crowds!
