Night Shots: An Experiment

Can you guess what these people are doing?

No, they are not waiting for their death by firing squad.

I didn't use any flash for these because I don't want to disturb them.

Although it looks like it.

I went spying on my neighbors practicing their street dance entry

for the Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival of Tacloban 2013.

Somehow, I got the feeling that I got transported back in time.

  Eerie.. But this is I think is the effect of the beat of the drums.
Sound can distort how images develop.

I can't help myself but wonder a bit if these were real people dancing and not ...ghosts..

Good thing I'm way past my hallucination days. :)

  Looks like an Egyptian dance to me.
But it's not. It's a tribal dance.

Pintados dance to the beat of the drums and chanting alone. 

No other instruments.. Just drums.
