More of THE WORLD in my place (Taiwan)

[LaFoto]

So here I am going to present you a couple of photos of the Taiwanese Dance Group who, beside the Maori dancers from New Zealand (cf. http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25974) and the dancers from Ile de la Réunion [east of Madagaskar] where among the most exotic dancers at the International Folklore Festival.

They only came to the stage at dusk and I was still struggling with my settings (I'm hopeless with regards to the technical aspect of photography... :roll: ), hence lighting problems, though others than those I encountered with the Maori dancers. But lighting problems all the same :er: . Well, that's me...

See what I mean? But I actually quite like this one and put it into the "Movement"-thread over in the Photo Themes .

Here, the beautiful girls!

Of course, I had to be back for the parade yesterday morning, so I'd get some daytime photos of them, too. But, as you may know from the other thread, I forgot to reset the ISO... ... hmph.

Tomorrow I might feel like showing you the photos of the African dancers from La Réunion then... if you want me to, that is.

On Wednesday I shall know whether my photos on film will have come out, and maybe one among them will be good. I will never stop hoping for that...

Beautiful photos... I love cultural events and wish I could go to more. Unfortunately, with two very little ones, it's hard to go anywhere. :er:

My favs are the 1st, 3rd & 5th. I hope your other pics come out too

[JonMikal]

nice work LaFoto, the action was caught well, especially in the second.

Thank you all for the comment.
Would you be interested in also seeing the dancers from Ile de la Réunion?

I LOVE the movement in these. I don't think it would be nearly the same without it!

[LaFoto]

You're all so kind. The movement photo had to grow on me, but now I like it very much, too .

Wow, looks like you had fun there ! Great pictures. #2 is wild lookin !

 

[Meysha]

I LOVE the second one! It is perfect imo!

You know, I think you should go out in difficult lighting situations more often! You come up with some great movement shots.

Love the movement shot. Love the one after that. And, love the second last one (but that is because it's full of beautiful women!). Nice work.

Oh, I love your town too. I heard it's also got a few good lookin shielas there!
