More of THE WORLD in my place (Ile de la Réunion)

[LaFoto]

As in all my digital photos, you will find the lighting problems I encountered when I did the nighttime on-stage photos. For most of the time I tried to avoid using the on-camera flash. Tomorrow I will know what the prints look like ... always takes two days to get my films back... I am curious!

OK, here we go then:

And movement again:

And on the following day I tried to get some more photos of the group during the parade, but actually they all went past sooooo quickly, it was hard to do any proper framing at all.

Great shots Lafoto !

Oh lafoto these look like so much fun!
I especially love the third one. It's amazing!
The second and the fifth are also great. Awesome shots... and what fun!

Good shots Lafoto. 2 and 3 are my favourite. I like the air of confidence in the woman you caught in 2, and the motion in 3 looks great.

I'm with Meysha, these look like so much fun!! Love the vibrant colors! #2 is my favorite! #3 is a close second! Good job La Foto! : )

Thank you all.
I am happy with the second photo because her very beautiful face is so nicely outlined against the black sky. The colours may be a little off with the stage lights, but in that photo I don't mind it at all.

2nd shot is awesome, as are all the rest! She is so beautiful! Great colours, and how did you get such a great view?? so lucky!!

 

[LaFoto]

She IS beautiful, isn't she?
And well, I crept well up to the edge of the stage, and since I wasn't the only photographer making it to that vantage point, I felt quite safe, plus the largeness of my SLR always makes people believe I am a kind of professional, heehee. Little do they know :greenpbl:.

Today I got six of my seven films back (cf. the "Blooper" section on more info on those films) and there is one very scan-worthy pic of her among those photos, too. I'll put it up in time. (Actually, there are several quite nice ones among them which I could only achieve because the SLR accepts the 70-300mm lens and I can make use of the zoom. Only the darker it became, the nearer I had to get to the stage, else...

I love seeing different cultures and how they live... It's amazing how different everyone is around the world!
Thanks for sharing!

[LaFoto]

Well, doesn't she?
That is why I like this one so much, too, along with her portrait (taken on film, scanned from the print) in this thread here: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26118
