Arthur Murray Showcase week

©TimeLine Media - Arthur Murray Showcase

This is the last week of lessons before the DC Area Arthur Murray Summer Showcase. I’m sure the students and teachers are hard at work – finalizing their routines, how they will walk on to the floor, and how to bow to the judges after they finish. This is always a great event! The couples have carefully choreographed steps to their music, and the coordination with their moves and costumes makes for some great photos. Hope to see lots of good dancing Saturday!

With this in mind, let us know if you will be performing a routine this weekend. Of course we will be doing our best to get photos of everyone. However, if you have something extra special planned in the middle of your routine, let us know! Especially if it is something that we will not see coming, we definitely want to get photos of your moment. Obviously we will keep your secret so that the audience does not see it coming. Showcase week is loaded with surprises, and we enjoy seeing them as they happen. Afterwards, the photos really tell the story to anyone that could not make. We are exited for the weekend!

Flowers with Flash Modifier

The weather has been very kind the last couple of days. Flowers seem to be popping out of yards to enjoy the sun as well. To get out and enjoy the new blooms, I have used the macro lens more with some flash modifiers to make some nice even light on the flowers. I am finding so much more about how light and lenses can be used this way which is drastically different from portrait setups. I’ll post more about this as I learn more from this setup. In the meantime, here are some hydrangea and clematis flowers that were fresh out of the garden.

When you get out the macro lens, a whole new world opens up in your garden. At this time, the blooms in your yard hold many details that can only be seen up close. The clematis flowers have a beautiful color and very detailed center. It is only with the macro lens that you can appreciate all of the tiny structures of the flower. In subsequent posts, I hope to show more of my work in the garden. The combination of the macro lens and flash helps to make my photos stand out!

That’s Dancing Summer Showcase

The photos from last Saturday’s That’s Dancing Summer Showcase have been released on the proofing website! The theme for the event was “A Night at the Tropicana”. There was a great mix of dancing from ballroom to Latin, and even a show by their new Belly dance instructor! It was a fun night with lots of general dancing between acts. I hope you enjoy the photos!

At this time, the dancers did an amazing job with their routines. Additionally, they tried to tie their music to the theme of the Showcase. This adds to the production of this show for everyone watching. Adding these elements to you performance can help take your mind off your individual movements. Knowing you are part of team can take you out of your head. This is especially important when you are about to perform. Being the only couple in front of an audience is intimidating! The staff at That’s Dancing had their dancers prepared so well.

After a week of some rough weather, it looks like it will be really nice this weekend. I hope all of you get the chance to enjoy it!
