in the need of colour

I had totally forgotten how much I enjoyed using my DSLR and post-processing the photos in the computer afterwards. Editing contrast, brightness, saturation, RGB Channel... too many options to change which, depending on my mood of that day, will probably end up with kind of surreal photographies and too dramatic colorful scenes. I'm sure that this need to intensify color has a psychological explanation. 

And in the most colorful day of the year I decided to take again my Nikon out of its case and I gave my mobile phone camera a day off. Here it goes a short sample of Carnival 2014 in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Azores.
