Very nice action shot, Philip. Your timing and use of B&W are excellent.

Beautiful shot Philip! I love the motion of her dress and yet the rest of her is perfectly sharp. I also like the fact that her arms are up mimicing her dress and I love the second dancer being shown.

Philip, what speed film did you use with what f-stop and shutter?

The f-stop was 4 with a 35 expanded angle lens. I shot from side stage. I used aperture priority, continuous focus and no flash (due to this being a live performance) (burning a lot of film with a speed drive, of course)in order to freeze only the immediate area of focus when the stage lights, dancers and my lens were in sync. The effect, of course, is that in the right moment you freeze just enough to please the eye, while leaving "a living blur" as I will call it. You can see two more pics from this shoot further down the pages, here: The dancers bowing was at f-8, I believe, and the close up face was f-4 (with a 50 lens). There will be a test on Thursday (just kidding!!)

Dear Margaret, I forgot...I use 400 speed film. It is as fast as I go.

I am surprised you were able to get this with a 400 speed film! Thank you so much for being so upfront about how you shot it! I find that so helpful! I hope you get the recognition you deserve with this photo. :o) PS, I just tried Fugi 800 speed professional film after not trying a high speed film for years and was shocked at the quality. They have come a long way in the past 5-10 years with film!
