The penultimate night of the Gion Matsuri, and on my way home from being swept down Karasuma Dori through the hordes of locals and tourists buying mediocre festival food like a mentally handicapped salmon not sure which way is upstream, I stumbled across this excellent performance just below Sanjo Bridge on my way home.
All photos taken with Canon EOS 300d and EFs 17-85 IS lense. Naturally, these effects come from long exposures.
Huzzah! Beautiful shots!
あいにくの雨で少し残念なお祭りでしたね。
ダンサーの迫力やスピード感がよく伝わる素晴らしい写真だと思います。
見物客の驚いた顔も面白いです。
Ahh, so nice. Just makes me want to be back in Kyoto again.
