New rehearsal

[Mongo]

Thanks Mongo. What did he play, guitar? I can ask around and try to find someone in Australia...

thanks Paco but Mongo's playing classical and flamenco guitar is part of his earlier life which he did and enjoyed for decades.. Mongo is now too old to go back to go back to the hours of practice and discipline. Still, love to see your interpretative images that hold the energy and essence of flamenco and dance. Enjoy listening to Paco de Lucia also. thank you for your posts and kind offer.

Thank you Paco,

For your kind answer, I feel tempted to try the 105mm focal length. Since I am shooting film, I think I will need an f2 or f1.4 to get 1/120 shutter speed.

Saludos,

Mauricio

Mongo, my pleasure.

  Mauricio, if you are going to shoot performers with film, you are braver than I am. Performing or controlled situation? Natural or artificial light or stage light makes the real difference.
    Have fun and please, share the results!

Paco,

In April I will have the chance to shoot a tango performance, artificial light. I am not allowed to change my position, so my distance to subject will be between 3 to 9 meters approximately.

I have results from a previous performance. I am going to share some images to critique and comment soon.

Saludos,

Mauricio

I’ll say a 70-200mm 2.8 will be your best friend.
