All night long Photo

Photographer’s Note

I hesitated which picture to put here and which one in a workshop. I have chosen for "Atmosphere".
My wife and I stayed overnight with the Dhubra tribes in a classroom of the little school you hardly notice in the back.
As it was festival time, my hosts organized a party which went well on into the night.
Here you see them dancing a typical dance which is better explained in the workshop.
The village has no electricity so the light is from the headlights of my car plus flash.

Oh - a lovely performance - I like the different attitudes and smiles - very fine colours and sharpness - thanks Alfred - glad your sharing these fine memories with us - the workshop a fine extra view.

I like both images but the WS one is just a touch too 'staged' - I prefer the original night shot which IMO captures more of the 'joy' in the dancers movements and smiles - The WS is also a fine image though :)

Very nice and clear. Good colors. I wonder how it would look without the flash. I guess it will be dramatic witha bit of motion blur. Just a thought.

I look at the WS Alfred and I like it so much. The colors are more real...and the picture looks more 3d (cos this one used flash so it drains the face with natural colors). Again, JMHO.

Very good lively colors. The capture is great. I like this one more than the ws because it is more spontaneous.

Très belles tes danceuses, J'aime cet alignement polychrome de ces jeunes femmes souriantes. Amicalement/jr
