Cirque du Rue

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 28 February 2007 in People & Portrait.

This is a photo from February 26 of this year, I am lucky I had the camera with me because I usually don't shoot photos during the week, only on weekends. I was walking around Hiroo and suddenly started to hear some funny music. I saw this nice group of Chindonya street performers, dressed with colorful clothes, playing music and doing advertisement for a shop in Roppongi. Everything happened so fast I had no time to think about composition, I just grabbed the camera and shoot, I made some angle correction and cropped it a little after, hope you like it!

Nikon D70s 1/320 second F/9.0 ISO 200 117 mm (35mm equiv.)

Great composition for not having thought about it. A lot of interesting elements and the exposure is perfect for the bright sun. Well done.
