Dance in OB with Sarah, Amanda, and Kelly


I headed out to Ocean Beach yesterday to help some friends shoot their class assignment and had the chance to shoot these great silhouettes.

I shot these all with a 50mm, so this isn't a wide angle lens that makes these look crazy. These girls are flying.


It was too dark to get exposure on the girls faces so I figured I would just expose for the sunset and get a nice sharp aperture and shutter speed to stop the motion.

Most of these were shot at around an f5.6 at 1/500 or faster. ISO was cranked to 1000 which produced some noise that needed to be worked out.


This was one of those nice spontaneous shoots that produces something unexpected. I have to remind myself how easy it is to work with good dancers. I've only learned when to press the button. I've found few recipes for success as reliable as getting great dancers and enough light to shoot them.
