Lights and shadows

A scene of a dance, Thanks

The play of light and shadows, was a trigger for this one. Thanks for your impression

Thanks Milo for taking the time, I'm open to see what others are thinking, sometimes I will accept and sometime not... ;-)) but I wanted it darker than yours, I love the mystery and yours has too much light for my taste and the mystery of the mood is gone . Anyway thanks I do apreciate it.

Excelente imagen de gran belleza, perfecta luz, gran composicion, perfecto encuadre, Saludos cordiales Pnina.....Excellent image of great beauty, perfect light, great composition, perfect alignment, cordial Greetings Pnina.

A very good shot. Good composition, contrasts, and lightning. Thanks for your constructive comment. It was to great help, because I really did not see all those connections. Best regards, Torfinn.

Very good composition and grey tones Pnina. Well done my friend.

Exquisite capture, dear Pnina. Lovely scene with excellent use of light and shadows. A delight of composition and atmosphere! Best regards!

Another unique stage shot with nicely muted tones, subtle light & shadows effect, splendid composition, perfect exposure, Pnina!!! Best regards

Another very good capture, Pnina. Excellent light befalling on the main dancer. The shadowed dancers also with their own characteristics & postures that is very interesting. Good one.

Another fantastic image,Pnina.Lovely play of grey and dark and different poses.

Greetings,Jim

lights and shadows from another time: 'memory'

 

beautifully done! the lower part could be cropped for my taste:)

Stunning photo. One of my favorites of yours. It's the shadows that pull me in. I'm not sure why, but this makes me recall the compositions of Toulouse-Lautrec, although your photo is quite different in terms of the grace and spirit.

Thanks to all of you.

Hanna, Nice to see you again, and taking the time, but I like it as is, cropping the lower part is cropping some feeling of the dancing legs. so to my taste is has to stay as it is, but thanks!

 

Jeff, T. Lautrec, is a compliment thanks, I do think we are very different... what connect us maybe is the common subject and love for the dance, but I'm fluttered... thanks for the thought.

Beautiful ballerinas; beautiful shadows. I like especially how the shadows appear more clam than their owners. ~Sky

Pnina, I see your point of view:) and thanks for the welcome!

Perfect composition and capture, best regards.

Excelent capture, very good work as always! Best regards, Catalin

Thgis is so beautiful and well composed, Pnina, cheers Jana

EXCELLENT, Pnina, 7/7.

Pnina, this has a lovely balance of light and shadow, detail and silhouette. It is one of the best of your dance series, IMHO. I fiddled around with cropping it but couldn't improve on what is already there.

 

You have also captured a perfect amount of movement. What ISO, shutter and aperture were you using?

Thanks to all of you, I appreciate your feedback.

 

Jeff, here is technical details: ISO - 1600. EX. TIME -1/40, F4 FL- 200mm F-4

Ex. bias value- -2. I work always without flash Jeff, using the stage lights.. sometime they are good in colors and sometime I convert them to B/W as I think it it better in that way.Thanks

Hard to stop looking at this one. Marvelous balance among the four figures, I keep looking from the shadows to the central figure. She has a stately head and a moving body--very effective. The other figure seems to me clearer in the shadow than the dancer--also very effective and a nice balance with the lighted figure. I love this picture!

Wow, just great, Pnina, they look like Balinese shadow puppets. You caught them just right.

Excellent composition. Lovely light and shadow effect. Like it.

Thanks Pnina, wide open at a 40th certainly produced a great result. I assume that you aren't using AF for this either.
