今回は、ボリウッドダンスに挑戦する妻の写真を撮るという挑戦。

You know, bollywood dance was born in indian movie. "Bollywood" comes from Bombay(Mumbai) city where famous Indian movie studio is located and they wanted to make bollywood movies famous like Hollywood movie studio in the US. Bollywood movies represent emotions by dancing. For example, you can see Bollywood style dance in the movie of Slumdog Millionaire.

ボリウッドダンスは、その名の通りインド映画から生まれたダンス。ボリウッドとは、インド映画がボンベイ（ムンバイ）の映画スタジオにて作られることと、ボリウッドの街が、アメリカのハリウッドのように有名にしたいから。インド映画では、感情をダンスで表現する。例えば、スラムドッグ＄ミリオネアを見ることがあれば、そのダンスを見ることができる。

In this time, Japanese bollywood dance team which my wife belongs to participated in the dance competition. They were dancing outside at midnight like this photo. I took a photo of the dance of her team. It was very difficult for me to take photos in the dim light at midnight.

どのチームのパフォーマンスも良くてすごくびっくり。

Well. you want to ask me why I took those photos in sepia. The answer is easy. I fell in with a professional photographer there. He took photos of sepia. After this competition, I saw his great photos. So I just imitated what he did!
