This weekend the lindy hop community in San Francisco invited dancers from all over the world to come and dance for the weekend.
Using a flash makes a huge difference over shooting available light, but every time I use my AF540 I seem to hate it a little bit more. Granted, the exposure difficulties may be more the fault of the K20 than the AF540. One of these days I'll have to try out a K7, but I'll try to make sure that I wait until after I have enough money to buy one. I did seem to get the best results, when the ceiling was low enough, bouncing the flash off the ceiling at ISO 400, though I occasionally put on a faster prime and dropped the ISO to 100. Files labeled imgp shot with a K100, those labeled lrc shot with the k20. The dancers in the bottom two rows were shot with a tungsten gel on the flash, primarily bounced off the ceiling. standard flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622384446208/ flickriver all at once version: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157622384446208/ For more details on the SF lindy hop scene: http://lindylist.com http://sflindyexchange.com -- The first step is learning to take great photos, the second step is learning to throw away ones that are merely good.
