Finishing Events

©TimeLine Media - 2013 Paragon Open - finishing edits

I am finishing edits and upload of the 2013 Paragon Open photos. They will be available to view by tomorrow morning at the latest. Although I was not there in person for the competition, these images were very nicely done! On this occasion I wish I could have seen all the amazing performances in person.

If you are on the mailing list, or you like the TimeLine Media Facebook page, I will post on those two places as soon as they are ready to view. You can get on the mailing list by filling out the form at the bottom of the blog page, or by signing up at the Paragon Open event at the photo proofing site.

I want to thank Mario Brathwaite, a photography colleague of mine that was able to cover this event for us. He has covered lots of other events with us, and I trust him to get more great images of ballroom dancers when I cannot be there myself. He made some great images from this event, and I am anxious to share them with you! The finishing line is within site, so please bear with me just a little longer.

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.
