childrens ballett - "Frederick"

outstanding effect!

Great look, at a quarter-second, how did you get the kids in the center to stay still enough? Krazy

Glue maybe?

Hi Jim,

thanks for your comment! The kids are playing mouses gathering around in a cold winter weather -very crowded in a hole of a wall. The dancers are symbolizing the snow.

Tremendous sense of movement and energy, here. The contrast between the moving and the still characters is the most original point, here. I like the colors, too. Excellent work.

Well done!

Greetings Ludwig

Superb!

Beautiful picture, it should be picture of the week next monday! But how did you do to get the girls so blurry and the kids so focused?

Hi Nicolas,

thanks for your comment. The kids are in a silent or quiet position; the girls are dancers in a relativ fast motion - I think I got the right moment for the shot by a longtime shutterspeed.

I look at this and at first it's easy to think I know what the shot is about, but, on further reflection I can't really tell what the 'characters' are doing, and the image of cute little kids putting on a school play is quickly replaced by ghost-like energy forms sweeping down into our universe to seek violent retribution on the little monkeymice creatures who have been tormenting them through their dreams. Or maybe the white and multi-footed surrounding figures are aspects of the minds of each of the sitting children, normally invisible but always watching over them and recording and observing what happens, like so-called gardian angels or the higher self. Or... that is why I like photography: no two people see a photo the same way.

Fantastic effect - especially wrt to the contrast between movement of the dancers and stillness/calmness of the children.

All comments and rates are most welcome. Thanks in anticipation!
