    Diwali Festival plus envy

    Trying to take photographs of dancers on an elevated stage with lighting/speakers blocking the view has it's challenges. Was it wrong to envy the official? photographer's prime postion? He kept fairly well out of the way but boy I would have liked his spot.

    Unfortunately the official photographer can be an obstacle to you as well, I tend to make the most of the obstruction by including the photographer in some of my images. Nice series.

    I always say "if you can beat them , join them". The photographer has his place. Nice pictures.
    What's going on in the right bottom corner of that first photo?
    Young girls. In Holland they have to have a special permission to play on the stage.

    The photographer was doing his best to keep out of our way. I was just very aware the performers were making lots of interesting things with their feet that from the "official" photographers position he could capture. I was basically limited to knees up shots.

    Thanks for your comments.

    If you look very carefully you will see his heel overhangs the box he is standing on. Looks odd but it is
    not a result of any sinister manipulation...
