people (b&w) twirl of a dance

Oh Ms. F... you've done it again... this is beautiful. Ditto to all the nice comments... hehehe...saves me typing ;P

I was really having a ball on this one. You should try this some time. High speed while people dance ;)

Micky, working with the performing arts, especially dance/ theater dance, I think you did a very nice work in capturing the FEELING of movement, the body language of expressing that movement and choreography ( as both are functioning together). I think the blur as motion, was a slow shutter speed?, that is the result if a slow one is using. I think as well that it is well places on the frame,without any BG, even BG can add some details and context, but is not always necessary. I think it is a good attempt( like with your daughter and friend "dance") so it will be nice to see more works of yours in that direction.

I then cloned out a floor board and a door. They were just about six feet in front of me and I was trying to go for a kind of high key ghost feel partly because I wnated to get their skirts flying and knew that I would not be able to post their faces. I was just trying different techniques mostly for fun. I do this all the time with my kids.

 

The lights were really high as we were in a kind of gym so there were white lights and a white floor and white wall. So, I went for it. All I had to do was clone out a few background dark places and there you go. If you would like I can e-mail you the original. It is just the same only a bit of color and the background areas. I have done no other changes but to darken a bit of her eye and mouth an had to create a bit of her right arm where the door was.

 

YES, I am very facinated by these movements in dance. Doing different things. Or maybe it is that I can't get anyone to actually be still ;)

 

No truthfully it is the motion I love the most in the pictures.

Thanks for the explanation Micki. I like the dark side of the dance and while I shoot at a show, I work with a higher ISO, and underexposure till the end of my camera( -2) to avoide the strong light on the stage, you have had diferent condition, and nicely used them. send it to me, I will see the difference. I love dance and movement, and my coming exhibition next month will be about dance and a dance of 10 minuts will open it! I enclose the invitation, but I think I will send it to the group as well, even most detaisl are in Hebrew.

I haven't visited your portfolio in a while, but I have to say right off the bat that this is one of the nicer pictures I've seen f late. Great light, movement, mood, in fact, everything about it works. Nice job.

You gotta know with my love of motion that I am going to think this is simply a wonderful shot.

Yes, motion. I tried and succeeded. :)

We're bound to miss one or two somewhere along the way! I like this!! Very soft and the movement is wonderful!

Very nice Micki, a lovely image.

Micki, it's taken me a while to get to this one - but I'm glad I have. This has beautifully captured the motion of the dance. You done good.

 

I like the way you decided to clone out the floor - that has worked well for this.

...growin' up, keep on goin'

Can't do it. It is not me. I feel I have to have my own style. I don't know why but I feel that is my calling in photography.

...you will, Micki. Salute. Sergio

This is also a great picture! I know how I haven't noticed it by now! You have too many pictures! I have quota of 967 pictures and expose only 175! And they are all ratable! So one can easily find something to comment and rate! Your 433 pictures will open until tomorrow if I decide to search for some particular picture as I'm doing now!

 

Someone I promised to add his picture to my favorites yesterday and forgot to do it and forgot who it was and what picture it was. Thanks for your comments and high ratings on my three latest!

El movimiento se convierte en danza.

Saludos.

You are right I have WAY to many pictures.

 

I have hid many but have a hard time deleting them.

 

Like you I am partial to so many of them ;)

 

Thank you so much for liking this one. It is a favorite of mine.

 

 

Thank you for enjoying the DANCE and the MOVEMENT :)

 

 

wether it was intention or not.. it's very fine photography.. from a distance, yet closer..touch-last

big smile!
