That gallery is a very nice job, Larry!
Thanks Igor, and everyone else who looked, commented and such. I'm
quite happy with the set, and even more importantly, so are the dancers
and choreographers.
The best ones are 4219, 2676, 4341, 6761, 7893, 9251.
4219? do you mean 2415?
8684 is a good example of a well-caught dynamic moment (as opposed to a
static, posed one)
Thank you.
If it were mine, I would consider trimming 9251 from the top to 1:1.
Or even a much tighter vertical crop.
There is something that I like about it this way that accentuates the
reaching up into empty space.
With the way that I spent two days fighting the lighting in just about
every way imaginable, that one is a pleasant surprise in how nice the
lighting on it looks.
As for the motion-blurred shot, the long-exposure photos do come out
very interesting occasionally.
Rarely enough that I wouldn't normally do so deliberately, but when I
screw up *and* it works, I'll be happy to take credit.
A friend of mine recently reminded me of this old one that was also
accidental: http://42graphy.org/tango/dallas-2008-12-13/IMGP4909.html
Almost 7 years ago, at Camp Hollywood, I had a few attempts of that,
but it was hard to get something that would stand out, as can be
seen in this set:

I had more consistent results when I was shooting with a combination of
a flash and some longish exposure (typically 1/15s-1/30s for a mid-tempo
blues dance). I posted them a few years ago. E.g.
http://42graphy.org/swing/abp-2011/selected/_IR31133.html
http://42graphy.org/swing/abp-2011/selected/_IR31127.html .
Same couple? Doing that at SFLX a while back taught me the benefit of
putting a CTO gel on my strobe when I drag the shutter to get light on
the background, so I'm not fighting two different color temps.
I don't suppose you'll be showing up for Blues Quake? It turns out that
Dan Matyola will be in town that weekend.
Cheers,
Igor

On 3318 I apparently accidentally hit the green button which set it to a
3 second exposure. It actually turned out pretty nice:

I photographed my first theatrical dance performance last week. There
were about 22 different pieces, and I photographed the rehearsal
Thursday, and two performances on Friday. I used speedlights on radio
triggers (one on each side of the stage) for some of the shots on
Thursday, but the performances were all shot in available light.
Here are 19 of the best from the two days of shooting. I just heard from
my friend who got me the gig and the dancers are happy with my work.
