Reuben Doolah Performing for Tribal Warrior

This is a shot of Reuben Doolah performing on Clarke Island for The Tribal Warrior.
The Tribal Warrior conducts Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island tours of Sydney Harbour.
I am ashamed to say that I cannot remember which dance Reuben was doing when I shot this photograph. The shot had to be taken in full sun at midday but, thankfully, under the sun shade. Reuben had asked me to take a series of photographs while he was studying for his degree in Fine Arts.
Great opportunity.

Nikon D40
1/200s f/10.0 at 55.0mm iso400 full exif

The picture and caption are most interesting.Very well taken Elaine.
The aboriginals are so warlike with all the paint on their skin.

Thank you Janice, Hal and Fred. I was delighted to be asked to go with The Tribal Warrior with Reuben on that day.

Good shot Elaine. We dont often see many photos of the aborigines in Australia. This is very interesting
