Even though we have not been at this event or this venue before, I am very happy with the photos. For one thing, the rooms in this venue were cavernous. Because of the space we had, I extended the lights stands to their highest level. Thus, the flash bulbs washed the floor with even light. Thus making the photos was relatively easy for us.

Thanks to Barbra Synder and Leraunt Van Loon for inviting us to cover their event this year. From the welcome reception, to the ending dinner, they had a friendly group attend! Congratulations on a successful competition!

2017 Pennsylvania Ballroom Scrimmage photos Released

Lancaster, Pennsylvania

The photos from last weekend’s 2017 Pennsylvania Ballroom Scrimmage are now ready to view at the TimeLine Media proofing site! Although this was not the first photo assignment in Lancaster, it was our first ballroom dance event. Since it was not too far from the metro DC area, we saw a lot of familiar faces from studios close to home. Similarly to other events, we have edited and sorted the photos by gentlemen’s number. Here is the link:

Ballroom Scrimmage

We met organizer, Barbra Snyder, at competitions in the DC Area. When she gave us the opportunity to photograph her event, we jumped at the chance. The Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square is a grand venue for events. Given that this was a large room, we used all the lighting we brought with us! Being connected to the convention center was a bonus. In spite of the sprawling hotel, we were able to setup quickly from the garage. I know all the participants had a great weekend of dancing!

Philadelphia – Fuji X100S

Mirrorless Travel Photos

I am finally getting around to posting about my trip to Philadelphia with my Fuji X100S. While I was accompanying my wife on a business trip, I had a chance to tour the city. While we had plenty of space, I did not want to bring my bulky camera setup with me. On this occasion, we took the train from DC, and not worrying about a large camera bag was very freeing!

In case you are unfamiliar, the Fuji X100S is a mirrorless camera. Without a doubt it is a much smaller package, but the performance is not compromised. Also the software built into the camera has some features that are not in other cameras I have used. For example, the Independence Hall above was stitched in-camera! Of course that could be done in post processing, but testing it here was impressive.

The picture styles of their JPGs particularly change the look. Since these are from the same company that makes Fuji film stocks, they named the styles in the same way. This last photo is a monochrome image out of the camera – lovely – just like the Acros film I remember from film-shooting days!
