For the pixel peepers (and the belly peepers also Laughing ) here's some detail. Here is a whole picture:



And here's some details. Keep in mind that it's a 400 ISO on a 400D (noisier compared to the 5D,so part of resolution is lost, especially the subtleties of the skin) and that the dancer was moving very fast, so following with manual focus was difficult and necessarily imprecise (prefocusing technique in this case is not useful because the dance movements are for most part unpredictable):

Really nice serie !

We have here the same kind of representation at the end of August (with people coming from all of Europe, including Italy) ... I hope your dancers will come one day to little Belgium Wink

I have a few pics of roman legionnaire but alas, taken with AF, so persona non grata Wink

Beautiful pictures again Orio, you have a magic touch.

The English word for a Terrapieno is a bank or embankment (of earth). The sloping parts of a football or other stadium where spectators stand to watch are "the terraces".

Write to them! Or even better, contact the organizer of your event and ask them to contact them. This is their website:

Thanks Peter. It's frustrating not having the command of the words of a language.

Ah ok Smile In this case I think it's correct to speak of enbankment because this is not a stadium but the protection against river Po floods. The river is very near. As you can see the enbankment is very high in this point!

Ah, if the embankment is for holding water back, it could also be called a "dyke" (which has another non-PC meaning!). There's a famous brass band in England called The Black Dyke Band, which has even worse connotations! Embarassed I think it's best to stick with embankment.

Do you have a link to the event?
I think it's really possible that the dancers may come there if contacted: if you look at their curriculum

http://www.gruppodanzeantiche.it/curriculm.htm

they regularly go to Germany (Aalen) and once they also went to New York for the Columbus Day.

Here it is :
http://www.archeosite.be/index.php?view=en

It is a place called "The Aubechie Archeosite", 20 kms away from my home.

They have two major events : Beltaine's Fires end of June (pagan celebration of the summer, AKA Saint John's Eve) and The Experimental Archeological Days end of August.

Nice, it's great to see that these events have a following also there. I see it's next week. Are you going to go there?

Here in the province of Parma too we celebrate the solstice tonight with St.John(23rd of June, St.John), what a coincidence!!

we do with the "Tortellata di San Giovanni". People meet and eat "tortelli di erbette" together.

This is "tortelli di erbette", or "malfatti" ("badly done"):

Alessandro you should make a better photo for them, they deserve it!

If the weather is good *and* if the GF has no other project, I could go there ... with some MF lenses this time Wink

A few pics of August 2007 (Zenitar and Sigma 70-300 [focused manually])

Don't be tempted by the Dark Side of the Force, my friend ! Laughing I kept the Sigma but it is now replaced in my bag by a Tamron SP 60-300 recently acquired.
