Composition1, a photo from Andhra Pradesh, Sud

Photographer's Note

This is one of many compositions presented by the tribal group in Araku Valley, Andhra Pradesh. The whole presentation has a great sense of totality.

I found taking shots pretty difficult as they were moving around quite fast and not in a predictable way. At any moment if you think they will move in a certain direction and you adjust your camera with that, they would do the opposite leaving you with a blank screen and making you look fool.

I loved this composition where the first lady who was exceptionally smart (she was actually the leader or director as you can say of the whole troop) having a handkerchief in her hand and she was creating the compositions throughout. Of course the support staff was excellent.

The motion was expressed especially by the backward moving necklace and the space left on the left side.

Cheers
Soumyadeb

Hi,
I liked this because of the drama it conveys.
The faces of the women are not very sharp, but i suppose it is mainly because of the fast movements, anyway why dont you try a faster shutter speed the next time round, you can do this by taking it at a higher ISO[ i think]. I am no expert.

Bonsoir Soumyadeb,
Bonne composition de ces deux femmes en mouvement. le cadrage laisse la place à l'action. Les robes colorées sont donnent de l'éclat à ta photo.

Hi Soumyadeb,
You have captured this decisive moment well. I like the colours you have presented and I also like the movement of the women. Personally, I would have cropped the left side a bit...there is something distracting sticking out there...and I don't like that the women's feet are cut off.
Thanks for sharing!

I like very much the pictures where we can see some people!The colors are splendid,and,in spite of the difficulty,it's well framed!The texture of the sari is well rendered due to the good light,and I like the movements of the women,as their expression!
Regards
Pascale

Soumyadeb es una fotografia con mucho movimiento.Es realmente dificil predecir los movimientos de las bailarinas, sin embargo has logrado un buen enfoque.
