Description I did a benefit gig for a friend of a friend early in the summer, and after i sent some unedited images to him, I never really opened them up to look at them myself..

I was pretty excited to watch the dancers, they put on a great show, and I was messing around with some rear-curtain flash, and shutter dragging to see what i could accomplish.

the venue was a bit boring, and Im not sure if i like the look of it, but i still like this shot.

It is the most stimulating form of dance, exercise and martial arts! next to Belly Dancing, of course

Amazing! Just simply amazing. I always loved motion shots, because they can be so hard to take and make them look good. But this is great, so much that I can feel the emotion here.

Motion captures are awesome, they make a photo so much more than a still image....I should do more panning shots....or at least more successful ones

Great shot!

It's so good, Scotty... Technically, looks like a movie still or a random memory.
Same as your "Heat of the night", thought that particular one invokes that feeling both technically and subject as a mood what this one does disregarding subject.
Er... I wasn't very clear was I?
Put that in a diagram.

You did a great job "catching the movement".
Not to much movement - not to less.

Very awesome and powerful. Love especially how the one dancer's face is captured. Gorgeous setting as well, having the checkered floor serve as a perfect setting to all the more appreciate the motions

I haven't seen any live dancers in a while. Did I tell you I used to do a bit of street dancing? And there were breakdancers too? No I did not. Well now you know.
