Hey everyone! I'm getting a bit more of a feeling for b&w (well, that doesn't sound very modest, but I mean it in a very novice kind of way :P ) after shooting in color for all these years. My parents won 4 tickets to the circus for saturday night, which was the public premiere of the circus' new show - so yesterday, like the old days, I went to the circus with my mon and dad (lol! that sounds so funny) and a girlfriend of mine. It's been a long time ago that I've last been to something like this - it doesn't come here often, and lucky enough I was allowed to shoot away....I didn't brought my flash, but even flashing was allowed. (Just no sound/video recordings nor was it allowed to leave your seat to shoot). Well, I can't exactly complain about the seats we got, although we should have gotten there earlier, since we were put all the way to the right of the tent, close the the artist's entry (which onitself was a great place to shoot :) The only real problem was that there was a large pole in front of us, and most acts were focussed on the people who were in front of them - which meant that we got to see a lot of behinds. Well, at some moments that wasn't bad at all ;) Anyway, here are some shots I scanned - I haven't done everything yet, cause I shot more than a 100 photos. Especially the shots with the tigers have a lot of 'bars' blocking the view...so some better ones will come tomorrow :P Well, this is just a little 'report' on how much fun the circus still is.....the show was incredibly exciting, for such a small circus. The tigers were incredibly wild and very exciting and unpredictable to watch, the stunts were without safety nets or ropes, which caused a lot of Ooooohh!'s and Ahhhhhhh!'s :) The clowns were funny, and the girls were all beautiful....just the way it all should be. So, here are some photos of a lovely, old fashioned family evening. Have fun & have a great Oscar-night. PS Since a project like Moulin Rouge takes a lot of guts and vision to do and since the legendary Cirque de Soleil is performing tonight at the Oscars, I do hope that this Circus-loving movie wins a few good ones on this beautiful Oscar night!! Forza Luhrman! =)
