Larry,
There are some really nice shots here. I especially like0510, 0891,
0542, 0632, 36416, ~508, 37063 and ~029.
Thanks a bunch.
The lighting seems to have worked nicely. Some of the shots have
distracting backgrounds, and may benefit from some cropping.
They probably would.
What lens and apertures were you using?
For the most part lrc* was on the K20 with the FA31, imgp* was on the
K100 with the 18-250. I tend to shoot the low resolution lens on the
low resolution sensor when running two bodies at a time.
The available light shots (mostly classes) were with the FA31 at IS0
800 at 1/30 and 1.8 or 400 at 1/15 1.8
The blues dancing were at ISO 3200, probably with the PFA 50 at 1.4
The flash shots would vary from 2.8 to 5.6. I'd do a test shot from
where I was standing and would adjust accordingly. If you click on the
photo, it'll take you to flickr and the more properties tag will give
you the exposure info.
Cheers,
Rick

I was asked to be the photographer
for a dance workshop last weekend. In exchange for taking
photos I got free admission, nominally about a $160
value. Mind you, I ended up missing out on most of the
social dancing because I was so busy dealing with stuff to
photograph the performances and contests. But I think
it'll be good exposure and maybe help me get the "official
photographer" slot at other events. It was interesting
being able to use strobes, and to set them up the best I
could rather than just doing the available light or the
AF540 on the camera thing.
Despite the difficulties I was having with my lighting, I
think I got some decent shots last weekend. As I said, one
of my white lightnings fried as I was setting things up
Friday night. I had been planning on bouncing the
studio strobes off the ceiling, but figured that up in the
mezzanine would be a lot safer, unfortunately for various
reasons bounce didn't work well up there. So I had the
working studio strobe on one side of the room and three
camera strobes (AF54 and two promasters) optically slaved on
the other side. Fortunately, with them way up there, other
camera flashes didn't trigger them.
I did a quick pass through the 2600 frames and put together
a teaser set of the ones that leapt out as keepers. Now I've
got to go and sort them to contests and awards, classes,
social dancing, performances etc....
