The dance competition was so lively and colorful that tells about faith, livelihood and way of life of the people in Lucena.
These are taken by my Nikon D90 and my smartphone. I had the hard time in capturing these photos because of their past movements and low light condition because of the dark night, all we got was the spotlight and effects from the performance.
I only got few shots because my camera encountered an error for some reason that I have no idea why it happened in the middle of performance, the shutter button got stuck and I can’t take any photo. The display turned black and saw an ERR message in the view finder 😭😭 but everything is working properly and my images are entirely safe in may sd card which was my biggest concern. So now I’m planning to bring my camera in the repair shop coz’ I already performed some suggestions from the internet such as cleaning the connection pin of my lens into the body, changing sd card and replacing new battery but didn’t work. 😭😭
I did not finished the whole event because of that distraction, I went home directly to make an inspection in my camera. 😅
