Jidai matsuri #2, a photo from Kyoto, Kinki

Photographer's Note

It is very difficult to take the straw hats. That usualy needs another one's help/.
This time I stole into the preparation yard.
This is a secret.

Hi Takero!
Wow! A beautiful shot...and a candid one I guess. I will keep your secret! Lovely light spilling into the area. I am intriqued at the men`s age. Beautifully composed and flawlessly done! Warm regards,
Steve

Hi Takero,

For me more fun was to oserve the preparation for a parade. Later the guys were serious, but during preparation they were more relaxed and it was fun to make some nice shots without the crowds. nice moment. Somehow the watch do not fit here.

Warm regrads

Hello dear Takero,

Another great contribution. Here it is the interaction between the two participants that is so great. Also the bg is good here. Great little note too.

Greetings from a (rainy again) Antwerp.

hello takero,
it's always a pleasure for me to observe your models preparing for a matsuri - your non-intrusive and respectful approach shows the "other" moments, those moments which will probably not feature on the more official photos of these festivals.
for once we see two men engaged in these preparations, which makes for a nice change :)
greetings from rainy amsterdam,
c.

Beautiful picture!
Sharpness, exposure, chosen pov, colors, horizontal format and, above all, composition really pleased me!

Hello Takero
A detailed and sharp scene of a special moment. I agree the watch seems out of place. Cheers, Marlene
