 I went to bed around 3am and woke up at 4am to the sound of loud drums and ran out of the room to find these guys passing the house. So I quickly got the camera out of the dry cabinet, threw the lens cap somewhere and ran out the balcony. I don't think I was even awake when I shot this!

What I realized later was that I didn't even check or change any camera settings and shot as it was left from the previous day - manual aperture and shutter. But auto ISO of course helped to give an exposure I could use.


Well, at least I have an entry.

Excellent middle-of-the-night catch! And what an interesting thing to have pass by in the middle of the night.

Your treatment makes for an interesting image. I would have liked a tigher to crop to really show the audience who are watching the performance, 7
