Mixed lights fun

[armando_m]

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 ...

[Akira]

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

[Thomas Stellwag]

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

[armando_m]

Thanks Akira and Thomas, appreciate your comments

[Thomas G]

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.

[armando_m]

Thanks Thomas

here is another one that I like

[PedroS]

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

[Anirban Halder]

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

[John Geerts]

Great effect in movement and light.

[armando_m]

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

[Andrew]

All three-very well done!

[HCS]

This is really awesome!

Your efforts certainly paid off.

[Jakov Minić]

The third one is unbelievable!

[Akira]

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.

Very nice work Armando and I also prefer the 3rd one !
