Shake the misery (and Musical Workshop) Photo

Photographer’s Note

BRETON DANCE. . There is no doubt we dance in Brittany since the night of times! For all the occasions, the rural community found itself, meets, and dances hours during.
This is often after the great agricultural work like the harvest, beatings, pulling up of potatoes,that the dance is the occasion "to break tiredness", "to maintain the man upright", to see "to even shake its misery", it is also used sometimes as assistance with work .
Here, in the photograph, one dances the "an DRO" or its alternative the DRAO (Gallo Country).
All those which think that in Brittany one dances while being held by the small finger, observe here the behaviour by the arms and the foot flat.
The saraband by the small finger:))) be called ANDRO MOD KOH.
The music is from a song that works like this short periods of questions and answers we say "to answer".
The dances in spectacular rounds up the end of the foot with dancers who jump is called of "Gavottes Pourlet".
The dance here is led by the first couple and you will note on the left that one integrates the visitors.... :)))

Bonjour Jean Michel.
Cette image est un peu sombre. C'est dommage car elle dégage une atmosphere festive sympa.
Bien vu tout de meme.
Bertrand

Bonjour Jean Michel,
These dans look like the "Sirtaki" we dance together my wife and I, already fifteen year ballroom and latin, but we its no professional. A pity Jean Michel, perhaps a little generally dark, but I find this well lovely.
Amicalement,
John.

Salut Jean Michel,
Well,the technical quality is not so good but
technique is not all.
It´s an excellent picture under the general
TE theme and shows a lot about the coulture in Britanny.
Again I like the mood here.
have a nice evening,
hermann

Well yes, un peu sombre, but like Hermann said technical perfection is not everything in a photo (I might also have said that in another photo of this event ;-). I think it still succeeds in conveying the mood and cheerfulness of the event.

Bonsoir Jean Michel,
A great capture of those dancing people! The colours of the people's clothes are very good and strong is those dark circumstances. Very good work!
Groetjes,
Lars

Belle réalisation Jean-Michel, bon travail pour cette présentation. Un très bon résulat pour cette longue exposition, l'ambiance ;a la fête est très présente, beaucoup de couleurs sur les sujets principaux. Je pense que pour la lumière. c'est tout à fait convenable et reflète bien le moment de la prise, difficile d'avoir une clarté parfaite le soir, n'est-ce pas ? merci pour le partage.

You captured a great moment here, Jean Michel. It is nice to see that people of all ages are participating. You did very well for a night shot, with little light. Clarity is surprisingly good and I like the dark blue sky. Well done. Interesting note.

Salut Jean-MIchel,
Il me semble reconnaitre sur cette photo des gens qui me sont deja familiers... faut dire que ce jaune c'est pas vraiment fait pour passer inapercu ! Meme si c'est plutot sombre on voit qu'il y a de l'ambiance, ca fait un peu fete sur la plage apres le barbecue, surtout vu les deux a gauche.
Bonne journee,
Jean-Yves

Great imagination and well composed!
Best to you.
Fernando

Interesting notes perfect for the posting. I like the 'ducomentary' part of the shot, the tight well cut compo, but maybe a little more light had been a good idea.

Ca ressemble au Sirtaky Grec ou à la Dabkah Libanaise.
Y a du NeatImage dans l'air.
La luminosité du flash diminue avec le carré de la distance: Tant pis ! Les conditions de prises de vues étaient difficiles.
T'as sûrement passé une bonne soirée.
Bon WE.
