The Hanoi Municipal Water Puppet Theatre is an arena of continual movement. That is what a puppet show defines – life in motion. There is one scene where a two foot long canoe of puppet warriors comes sweeping across the water tank that covers the front of the theatre. The arms of each of its paddlers are spinning in motion, and canoe itself rocks back and forth to the beat of the live music as it pursues the bad guys. My light source was the theatrical lighting, and 1/20th of a second works well under such circumstances. For me, the point of this image was its action, and 1/20th of a second is a perfect shutter speed to extend, rather than freeze, the moment in time.
