Capturing the rythm of Brazil
When it comes to getting the feet tapping and the body swaying the African, Caribbean and South American sections of the show are the places to be, alive with the sounds of drumbeats, steel bands and pan pipes. I was keeping an eye out for a lively performance to try out the video capability of the new Samsung cameras I’m travelling with; this delightful and exuberant display of Latin dance made an ideal subject. The slow motion intro was shot at a blistering 240 frames a second with the WB2000 (it is in fact capable of shooting at up to 1000 frames a second) and the main dance sequence at a standard 30 fames a second on the EX1 with its wonderfully bright 1.8 lens.
