Flying colours Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was lucky on my trip back to Hiroshima. It was a festival day on Sunday at many Shrines. I went to see Kagura twice that day, daytime and nighttime, and I prefer night time Kagura because their colourful cloths shines and flies in the darkness.

The show was called "akkoden（悪孤伝）", a story about Samurais that killed a fox that'd cheat and kill people.
For those who are interested in what it(Kagura) is, I link you up to youtube where you can watch a video of it which I took then.

akkoden

But I personaly prefer the other one I saw at daytime. They were better player. I posted a WS to show how the show looked like.

You are doing great these days, Lauryn. Right back after yesterday'S fine upload with this whirling, dazzling feast of colors. Nicely cropped and superbly timed. As good as anything you have shown us/ Keep it up!

One suggestion: you might have somehow has both dancers CLOSER to each other rather than at opposite sides of the frame. Just a small point...

Fabulous blur...I like the enlongated format. This particular panoramic setting adds dynamism to the shot and helps accentuate the sweeping forms. Great colors as well, without being able to see facial features we are able to get an emotional feeling based on swaths of tone...much like impressionism.
Really good...
Why didn't I find your shots before you went into sleep mode?
