Incus Revels in the Street

Along with the lovely daytime dancing at the festival posted below, there was a delightful evening of the band and the dancers holding forth in the road in front of their camp. It was a night of on-the-fly music and in-the-moment improvisational dance. It was a really magical couple of hours.

The band's music is highly suited to a barely lit venue. The light here was a couple of tiki torches, and one battery lantern on a table. Passers-by were barely illuminated, and capturing the players and dancers was a test of my ability, and the range of my lovely 50 mm f/1.8 lens.

If you haven't followed the link to Incus' site (above), do so and get a feel for their music. It's dark, deep, and compelling. It brings out whatever dance motivation you have and sets it free.

While the players were playing, the dancers were dancing. They were harder to shoot, as they seldom gave me a dramatic pause to work with. But oh, when they did it set my shutter a-tripping!

I must have taken a couple of hundred photos to get a scant handful of good shots. It was worth every second of effort.

These were taken on my Nikon D40 with a Nikkor 50 mm prime lens at f/1.8, ISO 800, hand held at 1/10 second with no flash. There are more at my Flickr site.
