Colorful Obon Nights Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hard working, not mixing Japanese people come out of their house & mix & dance to gether at the time of obon.
Beautiful japanese girls, you can see in colorful traditional Kimono & men as well.
Young, old, kids every one particapte in this & enjoy the night in front of village shrine.
Old Japanese has really got a magic..it makes me moody..

Self critic: Noise is quite more in this picture. But due to dark i puched up ISO to 1600.

Hi Shailendra
Nice night scene here. The lighting is really good and I like how you framed it with the big red lantern on the left, adding bit more depth to the shot. good documentary work.
Have a nice weekend

It's not bad , Shail, colorful, and I like how yu set up the shot with the big lantern n the left but,budy... you're shooting all the pole from the back, and you can only do that so long bfore somebody says: "How about some faces?"
Just my own opinion...

Hi Shail. Yes the noise is quite a bit on this one, but I think that where this photo succeeds is in conveying the atmosphere of the festival with all the illuminated lanterns. I think you used the lanterns well to structure the frame a bit, the one in the foreground to give a bit of perspective, as well as the ones converging to that central point above the stage.
