Welcome to my Dance Photography Blog. The Blog is dedicated to the techniques and artistry involved with Dance Photography.
What made Dance Photography difficult? Well, like sports photography, dancers are usually moving very fast, unlike most sports photography, dancers changes direction frequently and unexpectedly, and yes, the light is usually very dim, and change very fast.
Difficulties in dance photography includes: hard to focus, long shutter-lag (due to focus time), too many things to think about, auto exposure easily fooled by the background, lighting changes too fast, not enough light to stop the movement, etc.
The more frequent compliant is that the photos are usually come out fuzzy. My solution to that is pre-focus. My equipment of choice is Canon 5D with 50mm f1.4. And I shift focus from shutter to AE lock button using CF. This allow me to anticipate the location of action, pre-focus and fire away without shutter-lag.
