classical indian dance Untitled

Hi,

 

Would anyone know how this mirror image could happen? I shot

this classical Indian dancer with my Fuji S2 digital camera. Like

this shot, and in a couple of others, a mirror image had occured

just above her head. One thing that the images have in common

is that they are all a bit blurry. No flash was used and I didn't play

around with double exposures. I just recently bought this

camera, so I'm not sure if it's a flaw or not. I doubt it, because I

did a LOT of research before I bought and didn't see anything

regarding this prob. Otherwise, I LOVE the camera and the color

is so accurate - except for shooting subjects on a theatre stage.

 

thanx for all the help!

Interesting image...I checked some of your other images, and I think you were more successful with them. However, I think the mirror image is rather interesting cause at first sight, I thought it was a reddish cloud above her. Unfortunately, because she looks way overexposed, it takes away from her abhinaya (facial expression) and mudras (hand gestures). Incidentally, was this performance centered around a particular drama, or was it a collection of separate little stories?

You captured the dancer in a not so flattering manner. Some parts are overexposed and the blurr (unsharpness) do not add a dynamic aspect.

nice picture ruined in my opinion by overexposure , try spot metering or low syncro flash i think it would work better

PEOPLE! I know this pix sucks and is over exposed. READ ABOUT MY PROBLEM!

opsss .... sorry didn't read

This is unreal. It looks like your mirror lockup many not be working well. From the picture, it appears thet you are on a slow shutter speed. Mirror lock up may me a problem in your camera. Test it out. Try in a dark background, as is was the case in the pic, shoot a few still life with slow shutter speeds and then on high. You may be able to see the problem again, if indeed mirror is the problem. IF you reporduce it, exchange your camera.
