Larry, In my opinion, in these sets (as in many other photos that I see from dance events), - the two main problems are: 1. composition and 2. choosing what to keep.
A simple example of what I mean in 1.: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=167122&id=746308024&l=800a4bd0ca#!/photo.php?pid=3933831&id=746308024&l=800a4bd0ca (Just people's backs) Here is yet another one: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=47009&id=1587681869#!/photo.php?pid=821721&id=1587681869 It's a poor way to frame a shot. "Let's try to catch as many people in one shot as possible": http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=207643&id=653299672&l=7dd07b367e#!/photo.php?pid=5228369&id=653299672 These three represent what is typical. "2." can help with all of these problems, but I am guilty on that count myself. :-) Sorry for being rather critical here (there are a few good shots in all 3 sets), - it's just I keep being surprised (and annoyed) why people don't do simple things that are much more simple (technically/ instrumentally) then shooting in low ISO, etc. Cheers, Igor On 5/4/2010 6:42 PM, Larry Colen wrote: > Mine-Pentax: > http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=207643&id=653299672&l=7dd07b367e > > Scott-Nikon: (corrected link) > http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=167122&id=746308024&l=800a4bd0ca > > David-Canon and Panny P&S: > http://www.flickr.com/photos/tsgeisel/sets/72157623990213540/ > > With the relatively bright light, I'd say that the K-x and the D70 > came out fairly close with the Rebel XSi lagging a bit.
