We went to a multi- tribe Pow Wow last night put on by the Wyandotte tribe, which is located near where we live. It was spectacular. This is a photo of a Fancy Dancer during a dance competition. I apologize if this makes your eyes hurt, but I wanted to show their movement. They twirl and spin around constantly. Truly amazing. They did not allow flash, so it was a bit tricky. I have never done this type of photography, so it was a learning curve for sure.
I will have a few more in my extras and some to share tomorrow.
One sneaky trick I have used on such events is the automatic Sports setting on my camera. It takes multiple images quickly and captures the movement frozen very well.
He's certainly a spectacular sight.
I like the whole serie, quite different of what you and what all of us are usually posting, a great addition to your project. The long shutter speed and the black background provide a stunning effect when combined with the colourful clothes and the dance movements.
I love this. Fantastic costume. I like the fact that you actually show the blur of movement. It gives a better sense of what is actually taking place. I've seen these dances and they really do move at incredible speed. Fav
He's certainly a spectacular sight.
