Action Exercise #1



When we went to the dance studio to photograph the dance class, it was hard to get the right lighting and capture the moment at the same time. The camera can take many photos in a short time but the flash reacts much slower. To get the "right" photograph includes keeping time with the dancer, and knowing the reaction time of the shutter and flash. If all of this is done correctly the photo will turn out with great movement and space.

  5. I really like how you have not only captured the one person in motion but several others, it gives the picture character.

  6. I like the angle this is taken at. Seeing the back of the dancers staring at the mirror to themselves make it kinda personal.

  7. I like how you caught each person in the same motion and in the mirror you can see more of the girls in the same pose
