My math must be really off. I was so completely overwhelmed by the sheer size of the ballet school on the annual performance night. Should have heeded the warning signs when the usually one annual photo day had to be split up into two photo days this year. But this is definitely a good problem to have!
Wanted to get up close and get some close ups but I also wanted to get shots of the whole cast and it was impossible to do unless I move back and change lens. Anyway, what a wonderful BIG performance! ♥
These two were guest performers. They pulled out a really fantastic performance on that evening. I was really lucky to be there just before the performance and got some close-ups like the last two (just in case you are wondering how I got them..). :)It is so great to see many of them really having fun on the dance floor, enjoying the performance themselves. Love the expression on their faces.
So, there it is, ballet shoots for 2010. Looking forward to doing more and better in 2011. There is so much more I need to learn. Go to the bottom for one example.
Here is one department I need to improve: I am struggling with studio condition using a white muslin background. It is so hard to get the background perfectly white because it is a large backdrop with wrinkles. It is difficult to light evenly partly due to ambient light (sunlight streaming in through skylight right in the middle on the backdrop).
This bottom pic is one example, not only it needs to be photographically up to scratch, the pose needs to be technically correct as well. Sorry to say I had to photoshop to get to this perfect white background. Any tips you can give me are very much appreciated! Thank you!
