Default Spanish Dance

I have such a great opportunity. Being on the local Arts and Humanities Council I* am required to photograph the entertainers* requested by the talent sources.* That is a new requirement this year.

These ladies are part of a troupe we brought to Ponca City and we were pleased with the two hours of dances.


Shot with a Canon EOS 20D and the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens.* This lens is a bit soft but with photoshop cs2 and smart sharpen at 50% it really clicks in.

Thanks for looking,
Darryl

I would have loved to see some with more colourful costumes so that they pop out from the background more.

My mom was a Spanish dancer...the only almost white blonde haired (sometimes green since she swam lots), blue eyed dancer in the troupe. I spent many a day dressing up in her old costumes.

What a great oppurtunity. Good stop action of the dresses swirling around too.

Nice exposure in difficult lighting conditions. I'm curious how you metered it and did you shoot Manual?
