American Star Ball – Awards

©TimeLine Media - 2013 AMSB Awards

Editing is progressing on the images from last weekend. At first, I worked on the awards lineup. Afterwards all the photos will be posted to the proofing website here when completed:

Why these line up photos first? It is one way that I break up the job of post processing the images. In my Lightroom software, you can separate all the photo by metadata. In this case, I start with images that have one aspect different from all of the others. With this in mind, the lineup photos have a completely different shutter speed from the action photos on the dance floor. So these are selected first for editing from an event.

Stay tuned here on the blog for updates. In the meantime, here are all the photos from the awards. This was in fact the first competition that had a dedicated area for lineups. As can be seen the step and repeat was very wide to accommodate a large group. Since the organizers provided their own light around the area, these photos were easy to make. Enjoy!

More American Star Ball photos – Off the Dance Floor

©TimeLine Media - 2013 AMSB Judges

It has been a busy few days of photography! I am continuing to edit the photos from the American Star Ball, but I took a break to cover an assignment in downtown DC this morning. Rest assured, I am back working on the action photos. In any case, I am hoping to post them as soon as I can. In the meantime, here are more images from off the dance floor from the Atlantic City competition. Enjoy!

UPDATE! Now the photos from this event are now ready to view at the proofing site. I have received feedback from dancers that they happen upon different posts from an event. So, I want to ensure that everyone that sees a post knows when the photos are ready to view. If you have not already, you can see updates at our Facebook page or sign up for the email list to be notified directly when the photos are ready. With this in mind, I know that I have asked before, but let me know how you received updates from me. Is the blog still good or is there another method that you find works best? Thank you!

We have completed all the photography for this year’s American Star Ball. While the photography is done, I to edit all the 7000+ photos we made this weekend. At this time I plan to have all the photos up by Saturday for viewing on the proofing website:

The photos will be organized by dancer number so you can find your photos easier. From what I have seen from the back of my camera, there are some especially great images from the event. I’ll post more on the blog as I go through the images. Stay tuned for updates here and on the Facebook page

Thanks again to organizers Ilya and Amanda Reuzin for their support of our photography! The were terrific hosts by all means. Comparatively, they were accommodating to their vendors as well as the dancers attending the event. On this occasion we also made some photos of their reception they had for package holders. It was something additional for dancers to network with other competitors off the dance floor.
