Concert

Hello

Haïdouti Orkestar featuring Nuria Rovira Salat

Hot-off-the-press - here's a shot from last night at a small concert venue in my 'home' town.

The group were there as a warm-up before the 'Welcome in Tziganie' Tzigane music festival which takes place here at the end of April.

The dancer is magnificent, but in this situation, sadly a bit scrunched up due to a very small stage - she needs space!

Wonderful photo, love the energy and the colours!

Lovely shot. It shows the energy. Spatial arrangement and timing spot on, not an easy task to get so many elements in balance, let alone in a life show. Exposure choice works for me as well.
Thanks for sharing it.

Excellent timing and framing!

Thank you all 

As you've been so nice, here's another shot of Nuria Rovira Salat

(Not bad for ISO 5000  )

Have a great weekend

The Kissing Anecdote

Here in France we have a quaint way of saying hello to people we know - we 'fait la bise' - a quick peck on each cheek. Some ares have it better than us - three or even 4 kisses!! (I'm thinking of moving...)

Anyway, when I collected Nuria (yesterday evenings dancer) from the station, as we've known each other a few years, she naturally kissed me.

Later in the evening I was talking to a colleague and mentioned (sadly within hearing of my wife...) that I was never going to wash my lips again 

It must have been this that led to a VERY quiet evening after the concert

Another gem! I cannot say it any better than Paco: great framing and timing.

ISO 5000 is just getting warmed up these days

Many thanks - you're all very kind.

Here's another of Nuria, but from 9 years ago...

(I think the only thing to have changed is my camera / lens!)

You caught the utmost peak of the action perfectly!
