EnLair Dance show finished up today

By Dejan | Photography

I’ve spent this Saturday taking pictures of EnLair dance company at Broadway Performance Center.  I was there from around 2pm for a tech rehearsal until around 9pm when the show finished.  They had another performance today at 2pm, but I decided not to go since I already have around 1000 pictures, and I hope that there would be at least 100 good ones in there. Major challenge this time around was a complete lack of light.  This was the darkest show I had to shoot.   Dark clothing on dark background and you get NO light bouncing back to the lens.   Even with a f2.8 lens I was getting about 1/30 - 1/60 and that’s at about 2/3 - 1 1/2 stop underexposed with 1600 ISO.  Generally I’m able to push it up to 1/125 when the light is semi-normal as it is with most Enertia dances.  I hope that the pictures will come out ok, since at these speeds it’s almost impossible to catch any movement, unless the girls are able to hover motionless in the air for a brief second :)

The plan is to work on the pictures throughout this week and hopefully have them done on the weekend.  The problem is that I’m currently out of space and my 1TB fileserver is not ready yet, so I’m hopping to get it up and running ASAP.
