I helped my son to take photos in the church yesterday. He was capturing a video while I used the Nikon D40 to do it. It is challenging to take the pictures because as you know, some of the church goers have that solemn, sombre and uptight looks on their faces. Therefore, running around to get a good angle is not an option.
However, I want to get the most vibrant pictures of the youth dancers. I do not want to use my flash as it spoils the mood of the warm and embracing moment at the altar. So, I took over 130 shots and get only about 80 photos. There isn’t place for me to stand and squatting or sitting down is not an option as I was wearing skirt.
The next time, if given the opportunity, I will make sure that I wear a jean and I will forget about the ‘oh, what will they think of me’ hang-ups. These girls have practised for months for this celebration and I must make sure that they have their best shots.
The other thing to remember is to attend their rehearsal so that I know in advance where they are coming out from and which is the highlight of the performance.
Overall, it is a beautiful performance by the Youth Group of the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. They dance to the World Youth Day 2008 theme song. The World Youth Day 2008 will be held in Sydney, Australia in August.
Another photo adventure that I enjoyed tremendously.
