Masai's dancing by

Masai’s men dancing… They usually dance like that on their important events. The jumping is a kind of competition between the group’s men or the neighbour men, shows the power, strength. And also use it to win some wifes, i jumped, won 3, but my girl didn’t let me bring them with us…

Masai Mara National Park, Kenya.

    Espectacular! Capturado en el momento perfecto, pareciera estar suspendido ahi levitando!
    Que risa el comentario! De verdad te ganaste 3? jajajaja. Menos mal que tu chica no te dejo traerlas, como está la situacion seria bien dificil mantener a tres esposas mas la chica que ya tienes! =P

  • Hola Jase, gracias por los comentarios!!! De verdad que era una oportunidad digna de aprovechar, traje demasiadas fotos del viaje, pero no he podido sentarme a filtrar y montar, espero que haya traido buenas fotos, los lugares y la gente ayudan demasiado! Me compre una camara, una ikon D-60, que era la que mas se parecia a las que me recomendaaste!

    Que bueno! Me imagino, yo fui un fin largo a la Gran Sabana y traje como 1000 fotos, asi que imagino que tu trajiste una buena cantidad ;)
    Esa es una buena camara, compraste lentes? baterias? filtros?

  • Me traje como 16GB en fotos!!! No, no tenian ningun accesorio, todo estaba agotado… Así que me toca comprar todo poco a poco, aquí en Venezuela, me recomiendas algun lugar para comprar? Lo bueno es que la bateria aguanta como 1800 fotos.

    Terrific capture of this Maasai getting good airtime. Color shines through. You have good composition as well. I also like your sense of humor in your descriptive text.

  • Thanks for all your comments!!! That’s the reason i enjoy this website so much… if you like, take some minutes and view some other works. It will be my honor

    another feature! congratulations!! this is what I like about red bubble is that I can see through someone’s camera scenes like this that I will never be able to see myself! The color and the jumping and your commentary on the photograph makes this a favorite!!

  • Lets do something… promise me that you won’t use the word never again… You can’t know anything about the future… I said once to a friend of mine: I wish to be in Kilimanjaro’s some time… But, i have no money, no chance… and whatever… Wanna see a pic of me swimming in a pool with the kilimanjaro at my back????
