A spur of sunlight added the image with good quality while the natives tribes having their dance performance. A vantage angle from the spectator stand, allowed me to capture a close up view of the performing troupes. This is another image of the annual event of Baliem Festival, Wamena.
To present two days events for the Baliem Festival, Wamena, the tribes have to spend hours of hard work before the actual presentation. Candid shot behind the scene is usually an attraction for photographers. As seen here, the member of the tribes were busy getting ready for this great annual event.
If you spotted a man wearing a long thin Koteka in Baliem Valley, Papua, most probably he is a Yali. You may capture such image without paying them at the two days Baliem Festival. Otherwise, each image you capture will probably cost you a minimum sum of 5000 Rp. Imagine if you are using motorize mode for shooting, the images that you have shot may cost you a fortune. Do negotiate first prior your shooting. The tribes in their village are very commercialized.
