Ryukyu Dance – Kazue Higa at the National Theatre Okinawa.

I photographed dancer Kazue Higa performing at the National Theatre Okinawa last weekend. A wonderful opportunity to see such a spectacle, and to be allowed to take an enormous camera, tripod and telephoto lens into the theatre.

After I have a chat with Higa-san I will update this post in the near future giving details of the costumes and dances performed in each of these pics.

These were all photographed with the Pentax 645Z and the 300mm f4 ED lens at 1/100 sec ISO 400 at f4.5
