New rehearsal
« on: January 30, 2018, 22:20:30 »
At the dance conservatory, Granada. The creation is at the hands of Eva la Yerbabuena. She is doing an amazing work with the students of the last two years of flamenco.

Thank you.

  I agree about the 1st one Armando, I was surprised when I opened it. Just one of those gifts  ;)

#4 is my favorite, but, as always, I enjoy your viewpoint to shoot dances or any movements.

Just looked into Wiki.  Eva Yerbabuena has a very interesting career.

You were great once, but you still learn and I miss words to describe the pictures. I can say: I still love them and love them more and more!

Paco, you are "exploding" as a photographer, with a very recognizable signature. This is marvelous, especially n. 1 and 5. Only the last one doesn't evoke much to me.

Thank you all for your generous appreciation, I’m blushing here.

   Taking pictures if dancers is something I do with pleasure even thou every time I think Im doing my worst work ever (can someone relate?  ;D ) If some love gets to go through I'm a very happy person.

always love the impromptu yet thought out nature of these "living" images. The monochrome is a must to aid our concentration and do away with distraction.

Just reminds Mongo how much he loves and misses Flamenco which he started playing over 40 years ago. Nothing fancy - just a straight soleares, bulerias and siguiriyas compas man. It is difficult to find a worth while flamenco teacher in Australia.

Come to Sevilla in May then, take some time to rebind to your passion!

I thought you did retire & now have money & time to see the world ... pity. If the mountain does not come to the prophet ... one day I will go to Australia to go bird shooting with you. Now I have little kids & my wife is working full time too, no chance.

I want to do reasearch there on the history of the Yeomans family, revolutionizing agriculture starting in the 1930ies...

Paco,

#1 is a great example of dynamism, layer composition and eye expression. The eyes of the girl lead to explore the frame and anchor the image, in my opinion. Congratulations !

If you don't mind, would you like to share info about this set of images ? focal length ? distance to the subject ? I just started a project to shoot tango performers and I am doubting between 50mm, 85mm and 105mm.

Saludos,

Mauricio

One dx -d500- and one fx -d750- body; 24-70 vr, 70-200e and 105 1.4. The two zooms are a life saver and have been for many years -different versions- only recently I have started to play with primes. They have many strong points and the 105mm 1.4 -marvelous lens- is the winner from this day.
 
   This has me cover for most situations and they all fit in a moderate backpack.

    Have also used 58 1.4, 50 1.4, 14-24 2.8 zoom and even the odd rodenstock just for fun. I´m in the hunt for a 28mm 1.4 e and dream of a good 300mm 2.8
    At the theater I bring the same set up with a tripod and head that can be set "free" and rotate in any direction.

    It sounds like a lot. Basic is a d750, 24.70 and 70-200. I can manage most situations with that but now is difficult to part with the 105... :)

   Added: this specific shot was inside a dance class, some 20x10 meters and I was free to move around with care. One long side with windows giving backlight, the other with mirrors and fluorescent lights on the ceiling. Typical exposure time 1/160 f2.8 at 1600 iso
