Editing Started – USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships

View from just off camera - TimeLine Media

We are back from a long weekend of dancing at the 2014 USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships. No, we did not get a chance to go out on to the floor and actually dance, but we did come away with over 10,000 photos! I have to thank my assistant photographers, and my wife for helping to make it a successful weekend! The editing of all the photos has started, and I hope to have them available at the proofing site by this Saturday.

Similar to other events, we will correct the color for each photo, and crop them as needed. On this occasion, we had a nice setup with our strobe lights. So I do not anticipate much work is needed on most of these. Additionally, we need to sort them by competitor. Likely, that will take the most time until then!

If you add your email list to the event site below, you will get an email as soon as they are ready to view. I will also announce it here on the blog. Back to work for me!

USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships – Setup Day

Wow – that last snow storm really packed a punch. Although we are sore from all the shoveling, my Valentine and I will be getting ready for our work weekend. It is a day to setup all the gear, to photograph the USA Dance Mid-Atlantic Championships this weekend. The blog will probably not be updated until at least Monday since we will be busy clicking the shutter, downloading cards, and trying to keep up with all the action this weekend! To keep up with the latest updates, I will try to post updates to the Facebook page and to my Twitter feed. They are much easier to update from the side of the dance floor!

We enjoy starting off our year with this event. With all the different experience levels, and the seeing all of the dancers enjoying the spectacle whether it is the first or fiftieth dancesport competition is so much fun. There are some great photographers helping us this weekend, and we are excited to make some new photos for everyone to enjoy. From our average, it will take at least a week for us to edit the photos, and sort them according to number. It is always a big job, but that is the goal right now. To view all the photos from the event by next Saturday, February 22, 2014, you can go to the proofing site here:

Tick, tick, tick – today is the last day to view and buy photos from the 2013 DC Dance Challenge!  After tonight, the images will be removed from the website, and put in the archive. We need to make more room for new events – starting with our first event of the year this upcoming weekend. There was some great ballroom, and Latin dancing from the participants, and an awesome professional Argentine Tango show to end the day.

Thanks to Fabio and Jennifer Bonini that have had us cover their event the last couple of years. They worked very hard every year to bring more to the dancers so that they have a good time on the dance floor and off. This last competition had their special challenges landing on the week of a federal government shutdown. This resulted in a change of venue right at the last minute, and they pulled it off nicely. The Ronald Reagan building was a beautiful venue for their event, and it would be nice if this becomes the new venue as it was great for photos.

Whatever or where-ever the competition is held, you know that it will be worth your time to get in front of their judges, and enjoy the dancing of your friends and studio mates. They also have some great shows, and the unique “Dancing with the DC Stars” competition. We hope to be invited back again this year, so stay tuned to their website for more details as the date comes closer.
