Virac, Catanduanes, Philippines. October 26, 2013. 68th Founding Anniversary of Catanduanes. The island being separated as a province from mainland Bicol.

Continuation of series (2nd & last batch) Still cheerful after the rain in the parade. This was taken at the backstage (street) while they wait for their turn at the showdown on stage. So unfortunate I wasn't able to capture their show due to the thick crowd. The stage was not elevated.

Wished I also have taken more of the group presentations (street dancing) and the fast pace of the events is a thing that should be prepared for. All shots were taken with my Canon 500D and 135mm f2L. Camera set to landscape picture style, color saturation, 3, AV mode, Daylight WB,(shift B1,0).. All in RAW format converted to jpeg at Canon DPP. Vibrance and tones/filters (some) at ps.

I should have taken some more steps farther to show more of her outfit...i'd been shooting fast. I think she was the muse of the Bagamanoc municipality. I asked for her permission for this shot that she also generously granted.
