    A few dance pics

    The theme this year was country. "Sequins and Spurs" to be exact. The one of the cowboys was from the dad's dance they do every year. It is the so hysterical, and the dads really get into it.

    Thanks for looking

    I've been loving your dance pics, Adina...simple compositions, no distracting elements, beautiful, muted colors, and excellent exposures...your collection would make a pretty neat coffee table book. :-)

    Wow, these exposures are excellent Adina. You have really captured the "essence" of the dance.

    I enjoy all of these shots! They are beautiful yet mysterious - the cowboy's face is dark so you can't see it which makes you look a little harder - love the second shot too - excellent composition!

    What type and speed film did you use?

    thanks much

    I really enjoy shooting the dance stuff, and I'm debating putting a book together for the studio. I've found some places that are reasonably priced.

    Janie, I shoot digital these days. Iso 800, white balance is set to the lightbulb. And this time I had a tripod, so I didn't have to balance on the railing over the doors, had a much higher sucess rate.

    Thanks

    you know, i'm shooting mostly digital these days myself and yesterday remembered why - I had one roll of film developed for $14.99! Hell, for the amount of shots I take every week, i'd be out a few hundred dollars a week! It's gotten soooo expensive!

    Simply stunning

    Hi Adina,

    These are great shots! The lighting is beautiful. Given that you shot at 800 with tripod does this mean no flash? I assumed you hadn't given it was a performance, but the images are so strong and sharp I wondered - what is your secret?

    No flash

    and given that I was in the balcony, wouldn't have helped any.

    Usually the stage lighting is pretty bright, so I'm getting about 1/90-1/250 at f/4. That's enough to get a sharp image most of the time. Mostly just practice till I got it right, once you get a feel for what you're going to get, it get's a bit easier.

    Thanks

    adina
