Kalaripayattu Fighters, India

I found out that there was an evening show on the ancient art of Kalaripayattu at Punarjani Traditional Village, less than a few blocks from my hotel in Munnar, India. Being an avid fan of martial arts, it immediately piqued my interest. I had just gotten a steal of a deal on a National Geographic camera strap on eBay, and while I was in line, the ticket master noticed it and dragged me to the front of the line. So I paid and followed him to the VIP seating, perfect for getting the shot!
First I observed the light and the action of the fighters. The dimly lit arena just gave it that feel of an '80s kung fu poster, and I wanted to keep it that way. After a few camera adjustments and a few hundred missed shots I finally captured the two fighters in midair. 

    在Punarjani这个传统村落,我发现会有古武——Kalaripayattu(卡拉里帕亚图)的夜场秀,这里离我在印度慕那尔的酒店只有几个街区。 作为一名狂热的武术迷,它立马引起了我的兴趣。 排队时,卖门票的家伙注意到了我那刚从ebay上抢到了一个国家地理的相机带,让我插队到前排。于是我付了钱后,直接跟着他到贵宾席,从而拍到了这张完美的照片。
    我一开始就注意到竞技场的光线情况以及斗士们的动作,微微暗的舞台给人一种80年代功夫片海报的感觉,让我想保留下来。稍微调校和几经失手后,我终于抓拍到了两个斗士在半空中的画面。
