Week #3 - Drums
by Dale R. Palmer

Went to a Pow Wow on Saturday. A Pow Wow is all about dancing to the sound of the drum. There were about 5 guys sitting around the drum beating it in solid rhythms while the dancers danced in the arena.

I like the low position you got, but I have to agree with Liz that the black blob (someone's arm?) is very distracting. The rest of the shot is nice, though. I think this perspective would be better than one of the entire drum circle, as it makes you want to know more about what is going on (if that makes sense).

That's a beautiful drum. Sure wish we could hear the drumming too. Looks like it was challenging to shoot through the multiple drummers. I like their drumsticks.

What is the big black blob at the upper right? I'm a bit disorientated when looking at this picture. IMHO, maybe a different perspective and crop might have produced a more effective image.
