Nutcracker #2

Comments/critiques welcomed. Thanks, Tom.

Nicely done. Shame he doesn't look as relaxed & comfortable as she. The motion is carried out well

Thanks, Ken.

Nice work Tommy.

 

Best

outstanding, and so hard to get right. you have done an excellent job with the moment, the composition, the lighting, the shutter speed, the white balance, the exposure . . . very nice work. her turn of the head also helps make this special.

Thanks, James & Ben for the kind words. This show gave me a chance to test out a new 85mm 1.8 lens which I got for these low light level stage conditions. The lens is awesome. That said, its still nice to shoot RAW so I can tweak the exposure up or down as the lighting varies from place to place across the stage and whenever the spot light hits them.

Just superb!

Thanks, Armindo.

Tom, actually I really enjoy this stage shot, great layers in white, best balance between dark & bright with fantastic exposure control, superb details in action, and very nice expression you caught!!! Congr. & Best regard.

Excellent shot. This is the type of shot that is very hard to get just right, but I think you managed it here!

Thanks, Kim & Richard.

you are using a fixed focal length with a great 1.8. It explains a lot how your shots are so technically great. Sorry, but his fingers visible would have been the final step needed for maximum points. Not your fault but the circumstances add many limitations. Great quality.

Waw ..

 

 

Amazing ..

 

Brilliant .. :-)
