Title: Mixed lights fun
Post by: armando_m on November 17, 2016, 15:13:05

flash + continous light

f/16 ! 0.8 sec iso 100

About 1 hr of trial and error to get the lights balanced + right contrast + enough blur , this allowed for the model to get ready ...

Armando, your effort seems to be well rewarded with this one!

 I like a lot the contrast between her concentrated expression and the softness of motion and colours

You both got certainly rewarded. I like the dualismn of the moving blurr and the scarf fading into darkness on the right and the crisp sharp zone on her right.

Great photo #1.
The #2 has a weird right foot.

Beautiful result. I echo Thomas' comment. Motion blur with crisp sharpness makes the photos stand out.

Thank Pedro Anirban and john

One last one ... Rather than use a fixed exposure time, I used bulb, start the exposure and movement at the count of 3, I let go of the trigger when the movement finished

The third one is unbelievable!

The third one looks as nice as the first one!  I like the way the compensating colors spread over the frame as well as the pose of the dancer and the framing.

Thanks Andrew, Hans, Jakov, Akira, Arend

Another model, the original image didn't work as her face was to blurred, so ... took the head/face from another image and replaced it
