Ballroom Dance photos – 2012 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge

I’ll have more on this event, but here are some favorites from the 2012 Baltimore Dancesport Challenge. This is a terrific one-day event to show off your dancing in front of the judges. As far as ballroom dance photos go, this was a beautiful ballroom setting. From the pleasing light fixtures, and warm wood accents, the background blurred nicely in most of the images.

On this occasion, this competition moved to the BWI Westin. It was an overall upgrade in terms of improving the venue for this competition. Marielle has in fact a lot of experience in running a professional event, and this better showed off how accommodating she and her team can be.

After all the dancing, they always have some great professional shows to cap off the day. We are especially looking forward to traveling to the Baltimore area for this year’s edition. This year’s event will be March 16, 2013. Visit their website here. for ticket and showcase information for anyone interested in attending the competition.

Baltimore Grand Prix

Last weekend was the first running of the Baltimore Grand Prix. At this time this premiere racing event was held through the streets of Baltimore. As posted before on my previous post, I have been lucky enough to view some of the highest-level sports up close.

This kind of professional racing almost took my breath (and hearing) away. Television broadcasts cannot give you the feel of these powerful engines roaring at top speed. Especially on regular city streets in between tall buildings which amplify the sounds even more. (Earplugs were implemented as soon as the first lap was completed.) This was an eye-opening experience. Moreover, I have a lot more respect for the racers that compete, and a lot of respect for the photographers that need to capture images of these machines as they whiz by at incredible speeds. The photographers also had a beautiful backdrop with Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and packed grandstands setting the scene. I hope this event will be run again next year, and maybe I can get better shots with much more practice!
