At the Japanese Summer Festival (2)

Posted by Andrew Gould (Sydney, Australia) on 3 February 2008 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Another one from this festival at Sydney's Darling Harbour on the 2nd of February 2008. By the time I took this (at 5:49 pm), the sun was getting just that bit lower and the light was warmer.

These are dancers in their make up and costumes.

UPDATE after 3 comments. I thought I'd add out of interest a little note about the cloning I did here. I mentioned in yesterday's post from this festival that I find that the biggest problem shooting in such a situation is people getting in the way. In the present photo, there was the back of someone's head to the left of the main subject's right hand. I cloned this out, extending the lines of his clothing downward.
