    Dance

    I've been a little off the boil with photography recently. It happens now and again, so I just leave it be for a week or so and then try something new.

    Here is the something new:



    Canon 1Dx + 24 - 70mm f2.8L

    1/125sec, f8, ISO200

      Simple if you know what you're doing.

      I wouldn't know where to start with the set-up for something like this, was it difficult to do Colin?

        Re: Dance

        was it difficult to do Colin?
        Dunno ......... I was wearing ordinary shoes.

        Slightly more seriously, I was doing some dance and movement shots which were only partially effective, because she brought a black leotard and tights. Not quite what I had in mind against a black background, so we did some static dance shots which came out OK.

        While she was on her toes for some of the ballet shots, I saw this shot in my mind, immediately dropped to the floor, opened the aperture up by a stop and squeezed off a couple of shots before she came off her toes.

        I like the black tights against the black background, with just the sheen of her tights adding form to her legs and giving all the emphasis to the ballet shoes. It was shot in the opposite plane, but I have flipped it so that it reads from left to right.

        I also rather like it in Mono:

            Like this Colin, simple but effective, the slight shadow gives a needed depth.

              That's a Dancer Colin, well done👍
              Looking at them on my phone my vote is for the colour version. I'll call back later on a PC to check out the second version.

                Re: Dance

                Both work equally as well for me. This is something I had in mind for a forthcoming camera club competition but I need to find a ballet dancer first

                  Great shot Colin.

                  I think the legs stand out better in #1 but prefer the shoes in #2.

                    Maybe Colin would be your model Stan

                    I said I would call back and look again at these on a PC as Stan says they are both fairly equal but the second seems to have a little more impact IMO which may seem strange as really the only change is to the shoe colour.

                        I think the mono version looks even better.

                              Glad you have found your mojo again Colin, I like both shots but think for me the colour just edges it.
