These are excellent capture and give off all the fun from the circus. What really stands out is the great use of the circus lights. Just like being there. Nice work Drax.

Thank you people!

I am myself astonished about the quality of these shots. They are not perfect; But seeing how low the light were in that tent and how far seated i was from the scene, i think i didn't do to bad. They did not allow any flash light so that the animals wouldn't be scared or get annoyed.

Those are great! I really like the circus but, I don't get to go hardly ever. The trained animals are fantastic. Great work Drax.

Oh, man! then you are missing on something.

Circus have something magical, attractive and entertaining. My son loves to watch all these animals interacting with men; That's something you don't see even at the zoo.

For me, the clowns are the bests. LOL!!!!

For photographers, in think that the circus lights are a mighty challenge and a good learning environment for low light and action photography...if they allow you to even take pictures at all.

Cheers !!!

Such beautiful colors and great exposure under very difficult lighting. You have done very well to get these captures
