I've been waiting for a chance to shoot a little Chinese opera. Tonight, despite a splitting headache and feeling forlorn, I peeled myself off the kitchen floor did just that.
Chinese opera - การแสดงงิ้ว in Thai - is a fringe art with troupes employed by wealthy locals in conjunction with temples, who house the troupes on temple grounds. Played by the usual mix of craggy faced thespians in it for life - such cheap theatre must provide an interesting life full of stories.
The old 5D Mark III would certainly have benefited from having an anti-flicker mode - the stage was rimmed with fluorescent tubes of varying ages.
First night - 70-200 f2.8L mostly wide open
I'll be trying for some more lyrical, more illustrative shots another day.
Second night - Olympus Zuiko 50 f1.2 wide open
Second night - 70-200 f2.8L mostly wide open
Bonus: audience shot - first night. Second night wasn't much better.
