Atlantic City, NJ

Quick post today about the sale ending for the photos from the 2013 New Jersey State Open! Monday is the end of the early-bird sale for products ordered from this event.  The photos will still be available to view, share, and purchase, and they will stay up until the end of March 2014. Thanks to all of you that have visited the website since we came back from Atlantic City! We have enjoyed emailing and speaking with you about your photos. I’m so happy that many of you were pleased with the photos and have them hanging in your homes and offices now.

Portfolio Images

It is gratifying to hear how you are displaying the images, and I have seen many of them on social media so you can show off your hard work! I saved so many favorite photos from this event, and I will be posting some of them on the blog. The first set is one from each of the styles of dance over the weekend. The professionals competed in Rising Star and Open competitions on Friday and Saturday, respectively. No surprise, a lot of the portfolio photos came from here:

Keeping the top line straight while really moving across the floor is quite a skill. It is always a challenge to shoot as there are only a few instances where you can see the faces of both dancers. Patience is needed to keep your eye to the camera and follow the dancers across the floor until they align with your position just right.

The Latin competitions are almost the complete opposite. Almost too much to photograph! You can turn your camera in any direction and get a frame. With many couples on the floor, I feel like there are so many moments that I miss, but I try my best. Two different styles of dance, two different styles of photography! Thanks again for stopping by and checking out the sale ending soon.

Another busy weekend with a lot of new photos! I am still working on the Paragon Open photos, and hope to have those up during the week. Thanks to everyone that has already visited and placed order from the New Jersey State Open. There is an early-bird 20% off sale on all items until November 18, 2013. No coupon code is necessary as the website already takes into account the discount when you check out. The link to those photos is here:

Of course the majority of my ballroom dance photos are taken with as fast a shutter speed as I can. This freezes the action, and makes for sharp photos. This is the biggest challenge in ballroom dance photography as there is usually not as much light as the camera would like, and the dancers are moving quickly! To accentuate this, we made some extreme long exposure photos during the event. The one above was the longest at almost 2 seconds. It doesn’t sound like much, but look at the difference between most of our other photos! This was taken during a popular general dance song, so there are many couples on the floor. Here is one during a smooth heat:

This was only about 1 second. It really shows how fleeting the dance moments can be! All the more reason to put as much effort as you can to preserve them in the camera.
